When Aditya Pancholi spoke about how he fell in love with Kangana Ranaut despite being married to Zarina Wahab; claims he gave her Rs 55 lakh to buy a house
Aditya Pancholi, known for roles in films like 'Dayavaan' and 'Bajirao Mastani,' faced controversy due to his personal life. Despite being married to Zarina Wahab, his relationship with Kangana Ranaut became a focal point. Kangana accused Pancholi of physical abuse, recounting a painful chapter that began when she was 17. Aditya Pancholi comes from a film family that owned Pancholi Arts, once the largest studio in pre-partition Lahore. He began his acting career with the TV show Shahadat in 1985 and rose to fame with Dayavaan in 1988. Over the years, he played key roles in films like Yes Boss, Hameshaa, Baaghi, Race 2, Jai Ho, and Bajirao Mastani. However, his personal life often made more headlines than his film career. A Married Man Linked With Many Actresses The actor is married to former actress Zarina Wahab , and the couple has two children — Sooraj Pancholi and Sana Pancholi. Despite being married, Aditya has often been linked to several Bollywood actresses. Among these, his relationship with Kangana Ranaut drew the most attention. The controversy escalated when Kangana accused him of physical abuse. Living Together & Financial Support When Kangana Ranaut entered the film industry, her relationship with Aditya Pancholi quickly became a hot topic. Despite being married, Aditya reportedly fell in love with Kangana, and the two even began living together. In a 2008 interview with Mumbai Mirror, Aditya claimed he gave her Rs 55 lakh in cash to help her buy a house. Aditya Recalls How It All Began Aditya also spoke about how his relationship with Kangana Ranaut began, describing it as close as that of a husband and wife. He claimed he was building a house for the two of them on Yari Road and that they lived together for three years at a friend's home. Recalling their first meeting, Aditya said he saw her on the road one rainy day when she approached him and introduced herself. He remembered that a mutual friend had once asked him to help her when she arrived in Mumbai. According to him, Kangana kept calling him until he finally agreed to meet. At the time, he said she was a sweet small-town girl, and he eventually fell in love with her. In the same interview, the actor also opened up about a troubling phase in his relationship with Kangana Ranaut. He claimed that during the shooting of Shakalaka Boom Boom, he discovered flirtatious messages sent by her to another actor. Aditya admitted that the messages upset him deeply, especially because she had used similar words with him in the past. He confessed that this led to a violent outburst — the first time he hit her. Despite the fight, he said they eventually made up afterward. Kangana's Painful Account of Abuse Kangana, meanwhile, has openly spoken about the trauma she faced during her relationship with Aditya Pancholi. She has described it as an abusive and painful chapter in her life, which began when she was just 17. Kangana once revealed that Aditya had physically assaulted her so badly that she was left bleeding, and she often tried to escape his control. She also shared that he would stalk her constantly. Hoping for support, Kangana approached Aditya's wife, Zarina Wahab, believing she might help her out of the situation. However, she was disappointed when Zarina not only refused to help but also denied that there was any romantic relationship between Kangana and Aditya.

Salman Khan was asked if he's ever hit a woman in old interview: 'I don't think she would have survived it'
An old interview of Salman Khan has resurfaced, reigniting scrutiny over allegations of physical abuse during his past relationship with Aishwarya Rai. In the interview, Khan deflects questions about hitting women, referencing an incident with a journalist. Following their 2002 breakup, Rai described the relationship as a "nightmare" and vowed never to work with Khan again. Salman Khan has long been a magnet for headlines—both for his blockbuster films and his brushes with controversy. From the infamous hit-and-run case to the blackbuck poaching trial, and his much-publicized relationships, the Sikandar star has remained firmly in the spotlight, often blurring the lines between stardom and scandal. Now, an old interview of Salman has resurfaced on social media, drawing fresh attention as the actor addresses long-standing allegations of physical abuse during his relationship with his rumoured Aishwarya Rai , his then-girlfriend. Resurfaced Interview Sparks Fresh Debate In the resurfaced interview, a journalist from NDTV brings up allegations. When questioned about whether he had ever hit a woman, Salman recalls a past instance involving journalist Prabhu Chawla. In an attempt to dismiss the claim, he describes slamming a table so forcefully during the earlier exchange that it startled the journalist and broke the table — using the moment to deflect rather than directly address the question. Salman further downplays the allegation by suggesting that if he had indeed hit someone in anger, the impact would have been severe—implying that his former partner wouldn't have been able to withstand it. Aishwarya Rai's Public Response Following their breakup in 2002, Aishwarya Rai reportedly called her relationship with Salman Khan 'a nightmare' and revealed she had ended it two years earlier. The actress firmly stated that, for the sake of her well-being, sanity, and her family's dignity, she would never work with the actor again. The Bajirao Mastani Connection According to a story published in firstpost, in a signed two-page statement, Aishwarya described her relationship with Salman Khan as 'a nightmare' and expressed gratitude that it was over. She also revealed that she had turned down Bajirao Mastani from her very first meeting with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali , as the film was initially offered to her opposite Salman.
