8 Girlfriends of Salman Khan

Salman Khan is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. He has a huge fan following. He had also his fair share of romance and break-ups with the top actresses of Bollywood. In this post, I am going to talk about the women that came into Salman Khan’s life. With some of them, he had serious relationships and some were just rumors.

Sangeeta Bijlani:

The first lady Salman Khan dated early in his carrier was Sangeeta Bijlani. Winner of Miss India beauty pageant 1980, Sangeeta Bijlani was a popular model and actress. Sangeeta Bijlani came to Bollywood in the late 80s. It was believed that Salman Khan had a serious relationship with Sangeeta Bijlani but for some reasons, the couple broke up. After their break-up, Sangeeta Bijlani married former Indian Cricket team captain, Azharuddin. Even after breaking up with Salman Khan, Sangeeta Bijlani had good relationship with Salman Khan’s family members. Last year, Sangeeta ended his fourteen year old marriage with Azharuddin. She went to Salman Khan for help.

Somy Ali:

After Sangeeta Bijlani, the girl who came to Salman Khan’s life was Somy Ali. Born to an Iraqi mother and Pakistani father, Somy used to live in the U.S. She then came to Mumbai to build up an acting career. In 1993, at the age of 19, she starred in Anth with Sunil Shetty which became a big hit. Somy Ali and Salman Khan had a long time relationship but the two eventually broke up. Rumor spread out that due to Salman Khan’s excessive drinking and abusive behavior, Somy Ali had to live him. After leaving India, she obtained bachelor’s degree in Pyschology from Nova Southeastern University of Florida. Then in 2010, when Salman Khan launched a charity foundation named Being Human, he ran into trouble again with Somy Ali for she also launched another charity foundation “Human Being” back in 2007.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:

After Somy Ali, the women who came in Salman Khan’s life was none other than Aishwarya Rai, winner of Miss World 1994. The two came together while doing 1999 blockbuster Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachcha’s on-screen chemistry looked great. Unfortunately, their love life was a very turbulent one. Aishwarya Rai became another victim of Salman Khan’s abusive behavior. He used to call her on the phone late at night and shouted and pounded on the door. He even abused Aishwarya Rai. In March 2002, Aishwarya Rai finally broke up with Salman Khan. Even after breaking up, he stalked Aishwarya Rai for a long time. It was said that one night being drunk, he stormed into Aishwarya Rai’s house and broke furniture and threatened his family. Her family filed complaint with police.

Katrina Kaif:

The next lady to enter in Salman Khan’s life is Katrina Kaif. This British-Indian actress and model met Salman Khan during her struggling days in Bollywood. She debuted in a movie called Boom directed by Kaizad Gustad. The movie bombed at the box office. Katrina Kaif was busy with small time modeling assignments and during this time she met Salman Khan. Salman Khan introduced her to big time producers but no one was interested to caste her for poor Hindi accent. Then in 2005, she was paired up with Salman Khan in Maine Pyaar Kiyun Kya. The movie was a hit. She was also the female lead in Salman Khan and Govinda starrer, Partner in 2006. In 2007, she also got her first big hit with Akshay Kumar in Namastey London. With each success relationship between Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan went sour and eventually they broke up.

Bruna Abdallah:

After Katrina Kaif it was Bruna Abdullah. Bruna Abdullah is an Indian model of Brazilian and Arabian origin. She caught Indian audience’s attention with her sizzling item song performance “Rehem Kare” in Anubhav Sinha’s action movie, Cash. She also appeared in I Hate Love Storys with Imran Khan. She was first noticed on Channel V’s show India’s Hottest. It was said that after Katrina Kaif, Bruna Abdullah became Salman Khan’s love interest but there was no such evidence. Later, she clarified that there was no such relationship between her and Salman Khan. She had only two meetings with Khan, one was related to work while the second one was a social meeting.

Claudia Ciesla:

Rumor about romantic relationship between Salman Khan and Claudia Ciesla started to spread when news came out that Salman Khan introduced her to his family. He said,

“Claudia is a very nice girl and I have introduced her to my family.” Claudia also spoke highly of Salman Khan. Salman Khan also said Claudia Ciesla is his “special friend.” Later, Claudia, in an interview, said, 'Salman and I are just good friends. He is not my boyfriend, as has been reported here. Everyone knows that it's Katrina Kaif who is his girlfriend and not me. I haven't even been that long in India to start controversies.'

Asin:

After Claudia, the girl with whom Salman Khan was romantically linked was Asin Thottumkal of Ghajini fame. Asin and Salman Khan did two movies- London Dreams and Ready. A picture of London Dreams, showing Salman Khan on his knees before Asin, started a new rumor. Even South Indian media claimed that Asin and Salman Khan got married but later it was revealed that the two shot a wedding sequence for Aniz Bazmee’s upcoming movie, Ready.

Hazel Keech:

The latest rumor that is spreading about Salman Khan is about his relationship with British model’ Hazel Keech. Hazel came to India to work with Salman Khan in his upcoming movie, Bodyguard. The movie was shot in Pune and it was reported that the two had a great time in Pune. It was reported that the two were having a good time and they enjoy each other’s company. Hazel and Salman went on biking in Pune. Who knows if this is just another rumor or not?

Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan avoid box office clash

Hrithik Roshan may be a superstar but Salman Khan is now the most favorite among distributors. Thanks to hit movies like Wanted and Dabangg, Salman Khan is most favorite star of Bollywood.

On May 27, 2011, movies of Salman Khan’s Ready and Hrithik Roshan’s Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara were to release in theatres which worried distributors. To avoid the clash, distributors approached the two producers to change the release date of the movie. A senior distributor said,

“After Dabangg, Salman is a huge star at the box-office while Hrithik’s last two films, Kites and Guzaarish flopped miserably. Also, Zoya Akhtar’s first film Lucky By Chance was a flop. Distributors wanted a solo release for Ready because they feel the film is safer than ZMND, which looks like a niche film,”

Initially, the two producers were not willing to change the release date but later Excel Movies postponed the release date of Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara (ZMND) to June 23, 2011 and Salman Khan’s movie has been postponed to June 3, 2011 to avoid clash with the final of the Indian Premiere League (IPL) on May 29, 2011.

However, Ritesh Sidhhwani, producer of the movie, said that Salman Khan is not the problelm because our movie also has big stars like Hrithik Roshan.

I was very nervous. It was a difficult experience.

The sets were intimidating. It was difficult to execute what you had planed and worked out. For that, I owe it all to Priyanka, the amount she helped me, and the advice she gave me. She taught me how to be at ease and not let things bother you, how to be calm and not nervous, and how to contain your thoughts.

She sensed that I was a lost cause initially. She gave me training on professionalism.

Vishalji would also guide me. But a director cannot constantly be in charge of the actors, as there are so many other things to do.

Vivaan’s father Naseeruddin also worked in the movie and Naseeruddin Shah is a highly accomplished actor. When asked if he felt nervous when his father was on the set Vivaan said that he was not afraid but it his presence motivated him.

Ranbir Kapoor will not work with Deepika Padukone

In Hindi movies, the lovers unite at the end but that does not happen in real life not with Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone first worked in Bachna Ae Haseeno and the two fell in love but eventually their distance grew and they fell apart. What made Ranbir Kapoor very unhappy was Deepika Padukone’s sharp remarks about him in Koffee with Karan.

Ranbir has moved along and he is very happy with his new found love Katrina Kaif, whom he met at the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

When Ayan Mukherji, who directed Ranbir Kapoor in Wake UP Sid, approached him to work with Deepika Padukone, without any second thoughts Ranbir refused to work with Deepika.

Wake Up Sid was Ayan’s first movie. In Bollywood established actors do not want to work with new directors but Ranbir Kapoor was a different person. For this reason, Ayan is very thankful to Ranbir and wanted to rope him with in his next movie with his ex-girlfriend and Ranbir said “No.”

The female lead in Ayan’s next movie is very much similar to Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal and for this reason he wanted Deepika but now Ayan will have to look for another actor for his movie.

Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma starrer Patiala House has a tough road ahead

On February 11, 2011, Akshay Kumar and Anushka Sharma starrer Patiala House has released in theatres. Patiala House’s story is related to cricket. Gattu (Akshay Kumar) was a very promising cricketer but his bauji (Rishi Kapoor) would not allow him to play. Bauji is the head of the Patiala family living in Southhall and his decision is the final decision in the family. Gattu loves bauji very much and sacrifices his dream for his love. His cousins hate him for he does not stand up against bauji. The movie shows how Gattu realizes his dream and finally faces his Bauji.

The storyline is similar to that of Bend It Like Beckham. It is an inspirational movie and Akshay Kumar’s character is different. Akshay played the role of a cricketer and he worked very hard to portray the character properly. Anushka Sharma is Akshay Kumar’s love interest. She encourages him to pursue his dream. Rishi Kapoor also played his part very well.

From July 2010 till now this is the fourth movie of Akshay Kumar along with Khatta Meetha, Action Replayy, and Tees Maar Khan. For this reason, people might get tired of seeing too much Akshay Kumar. Moreover, the ICC World Cup Cricket 2011 is starting. Hence, there is not much hope for this movie. Still, Akshay Kumar did an exceptional role in the movie and if you are a diehard Akshay Kumar fan you should check it out.
