 "Aishwarya Rai came to Salman Khan's Gym at Galaxy, reveals Somy Ali: 'I was getting information from the servants inside who...'")
The love affair of Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai blossomed during the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. During that period, the Dabangg star was dating Somy Ali.
In a recent conversation, Ali revealed how Salman and Aish fell in love with each other during SLB’s directorial. “The shoot (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam) was going on when I called up Salman but he didn’t pick up. Then I called Sanjay Leela Bhansali and he said, ‘He can’t speak to you right now because he’s in a shot’. I was like ‘If he’s in a shot, why aren’t you directing it? Why are you picking up my phone call?’ The logic defied me. He was cornered by me and didn’t know what to say,” said Somy while talking to Times Now.
“Later, Aish started coming to Salman’s gym where we were living. Salman and I used to live on the ground floor of Galaxy where we had a gym also,” Somy revealed, adding, “Aishwarya and Salman fell in love during the shooting of _Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam_ . I was getting information from the servants inside who favoured me. I knew in my heart that their relationship was something that’s gonna blossom. I knew it’s time for me to leave.”
Salman and Aishwarya broke up in 2002 and never appeared together on screen after that. “I think I have quite shut it out. I think I wouldn’t want to get into looking at it any which way and especially on a public platform. I really wouldn’t want to,” said Aishwarya while addressing her breakup with Salman Khan in an interview with Simi Garewal.
When questioned if she felt negative about her past, the actress replied, “I’ve exorcised my demons; it’s a thing of the past; it needs to be left right there. I am not a soloist… With me comes my family, my loved ones, people I love and care about very dearly. So there is an obvious wall. Yes there is, and there is no denial of it.”
