Amidst the swirling divorce rumors surrounding Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a video of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is also Aishwarya’s ex, has gone viral.

This resurfaced video is sparking a new wave of interest among fans. In the clip, which is from a past interview on Aap Ki Adalat, Salman Khan opens up about his former relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is now married to actor Abhishek Bachchan. His candid yet respectful remarks have caught the attention of viewers online, offering a glimpse of a more thoughtful and mature side of the Bollywood superstar.

SALMAN KHAN PRAISING ABHISHEK BACHCHAN

In the video, Salman Khan is seen expressing his heartfelt happiness for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's marriage. He praises Abhishek, referring to him as a “great guy,” and shares his genuine pleasure in seeing Aishwarya happy and settled in her family life. "I am very happy that she is married to Abhishek Bachchan," Salman says in the clip, adding, "I think he is a great guy."

SALMAN KHAN ADRESSES RUMOURS OF ASSAULTING AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN

During the interview, host Rajat Sharma raised a long-standing rumor suggesting that Salman Khan had once broken a glass window or mirror in a fit of anger at Aishwarya Rai’s house. In response, Salman offered a calm but firm reply, opting not to engage in personal matters or revisit old rumors. He stated, “Your personal life is your personal life,” and added, “Main agar isko defend karna chaahun, toh kahin jhutlaa doge… best isi main hee hai ki main chup bethu aur itne saal beet gye” (If I try to defend this, it’ll seem like I’m denying things… it’s best to stay silent and let the years pass).

With this response, Salman communicates his preference to keep private matters out of the spotlight, reflecting a mature approach to the public’s endless curiosity about his past.

What has resonated most with fans, though, is Salman’s heartfelt statement about wishing Aishwarya happiness. “This is the best thing that any ex-boyfriend would want,” he shares in the clip. “You don’t want, ki once your friendship is over, that person is miserable without you. You want that person to be really, really happy without you.”
