Did Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan come together for a picture at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding? Here's the truth behind the viral picture

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai morphed image

A photograph circulating online has sparked curiosity, claiming to show Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Arpita Khan posing together at the lavish wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The grand event, which took place on Friday, July 12, has been a magnet for celebrity sightings. However, the purported reunion of exes Salman and Aishwarya at the wedding is a fabrication.

In truth, Salman Khan attended the wedding with his sister, Arpita Khan. The siblings were seen posing together on the red carpet, presenting a united family front. Later in the evening, Aishwarya Rai arrived solo, further debunking the viral image that mischievous social media users have morphed. This doctored photograph merges Aishwarya’s solo red carpet shot with a picture of Salman and Arpita to falsely suggest a reunion at the wedding.
