When Salman Khan had a mature reaction to ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai's wedding to Abhishek Bachchan, even after she had accused him of abuse: ‘I don't think she'll…'
Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai 's rumoured relationship was one of the most discussed topics in the early years of their careers. Their once-admired romance reportedly ended on a bitter note. Aishwarya went on to marry Abhishek Bachchan , while Salman continues his life as a bachelor. Aishwarya Rai's Shocking Revelations about Salman Khan When model-actress Jhanvi Kapoor claimed she is married to Abhishek Bachchan and accused Aishwarya Rai Bachchan of stealing her alleged husband In a 2002 interview, Aishwarya opened up about the emotional and physical toll the relationship had taken on her. She stated that she endured Salman's violent and abusive behaviour: 'I stood by him, enduring his alcoholic misbehaviour in its worst phases, and in turn, I was at the receiving end of his abuse — verbal, physical and emotional — infidelity, and indignity. I would go to work as if nothing had happened. Salman hounded me and caused physical injuries to himself when I refused to take his calls. That is why, like any other self-respecting woman, I ended my relationship with him.' However, Salman offered an entirely different version of events. Speaking to NDTV in an older interview, he firmly denied the allegations and even pointed to what he described as the physical improbability of the accusations: Salman Khan Denies Allegations 'Now, the woman has said that I have, what to say... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo A journalist, who asked me this a long time ago, and I just banged the table and he got startled — as if the table really broke.

Saiyaara Day 2 India Trends: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer lights up the box office with terrific Saturday bookings
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, netted a mind-boggling Rs 20-20.50 crore at the box office on its opening day; a number no one ever expected in their wildest dreams, and that includes the film's producers as well. The Mohit Suri directorial took the year's 4th best start for a Bollywood film, only behind Chhaava, Sikandar and Housefull 5, but it was the biggest opener in a lot of different circuits across India. Saiyaara's Day 2 Bookings Have Begun On A Blistering Note; A Rs 20 Crore Plus Day 2 Is A Foregone Conclusion The day 2 bookings of Saiyaara have begun on a blistering note. The bookings are better than day 1 and that suggests that another Rs 20 crore day is a guarantee. What we need to see is how high it goes from here. Rs 23 crore, Rs 24 crore, Rs 25 crore, it really depends on the film's momentum. The growth percentage may not seem too high but we must understand that the film is coming from really high Friday numbers, which is not the case with most films that start slow and then show massive growth on Saturday, only to consolidate further on Sunday. Saiyaara also had discounts on the first day, which boosted its collections by around Rs 1.50 crore net. So this must also be accounted while analysing the Saturday growth, which will be slightly lower on percentage basis due to the boost that it got on day 1. Saiyaara Is Set For A Long And Strong Run At The Indian Box Office, Up Until War 2 The film is well set for a long and strong run at the box office. We may see a double digit first Monday, and then see growth on Discount Tuesday. What will be most interesting is how the film does in its second week, when it faces two new stiff rivals in the form of Son Of Sardaar 2 and Fantastic 4: First Steps. Saiyaara In Theatres Saiyaara plays in theatres now. You can book your tickets for the film from the box office or from online ticketing applications. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates.
