The whirlwind romance between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai remains one of the most talked-about relationships in Bollywood, even to this day. The two actors, who starred together in a film, had captured each other’s hearts, but their love story took a dramatic turn when they had a highly publicized breakup. The reason behind their split has been attributed to several factors, including the involvement of Vivek Oberoi, who was reportedly the cause of their rift. However, a recent claim by a journalist has shed new light on the situation, revealing that Aishwarya never dated Vivek Oberoi.
In an interview with ‘Meri Saheli’, senior film journalist and author Hanif Zaveri made the startling revelation, stating that Aishwarya never dated Vivek Oberoi. Speaking about the relationship between Aishwarya and Salman, Zaveri said, “As far as Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan are concerned, both were serious about each other and wanted to take their relationship to the next level. However, Salman’s reputation of dating other actresses, including Somy Ali and Sangeeta Bijlani, didn’t sit well with Aishwarya’s parents. They felt that Salman was flirting with their daughter.”
What led to the end of Salman and Aishwarya’s relationship?
According to Zaveri, despite Aishwarya’s parents’ reservations, Salman was keen to marry her. However, Aishwarya was not ready to settle down, focusing instead on her career. The final straw came when Salman Khan barged into Aishwarya’s apartment building and created a scene, leading to the end of their relationship. Aishwarya then decided to call it quits.
Zaveri also opened up about the alleged relationship between Aishwarya and Vivek Oberoi, revealing a different side to the story. He claimed that when Aishwarya suffered a fracture, Vivek was merely helping her out, accompanying her to the hospital. However, Vivek allegedly tried to create the impression that Aishwarya was deeply in love with him, which was far from the truth. Vivek even went on to give a press conference and an interview against Salman Khan, a move that backfired.
The truth about Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya’s relationship
Zaveri’s claim suggests that Vivek Oberoi’s actions were misguided and that he attempted to capitalize on the situation. “It’s completely false to say that Aishwarya was in love with him,” Zaveri asserted. “It was all created, and it’s wrong to make such claims about someone. Vivek tried to take advantage of the situation, and it ultimately hurt him.” The revelation sheds new light on the infamous love triangle, painting a more nuanced picture of the events that unfolded. As the story continues to fascinate audiences, it serves as a reminder that there’s often more to the truth than meets the eye.
