Aishwarya Rai Bachchan never dated Vivek Oberoi? Scribe claims latter faked relationship, involved Salman Khan

Salman Khan’s relationships have always made news. However, his unrequited love story with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has a special place in the hearts of his fans. They fell for one another during the making of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, which was one of the biggest hits of 1999. But things soon soured as tensions arose between the two. In an interview with Meri Saheli, film writer Hanif Zaveri said that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan were quite serious about one another. However, everyone was aware about his failed relationships with Somy Ali and Sangeeta Bijlani. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s parents were worried that he could just be flirting with their daughter and this would not end up in marriage.

He further said that as things progressed, Salman Khan was keen to get married but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wanted to focus on her career. Her films had done good business and she was rising in Bollywood ranks. This created friction between the two. Then, the infamous incident of him allegedly creating a ruckus outside her door happened. Her neighbours spoke about in papers and this left the actress embarrassed. It was the final straw and she decided to end the relationship.

The most surprising revelation made by Zaveri was on Vivek Oberoi and her equation. He said it is fake news that she dated him. They had no romantic equation whatsoever. He said Vivek Oberoi was the one to help Aishwarya Rai Bachchan when he had hurt her foot on a film set. Zaveri said that Vivek Oberoi wanted to show the world that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was madly in love with him, which was untrue.

He said with this motive he held the now infamous press conference where he spoke about Salman Khan. His move backfired badly. Zaveri said it was wrong on his part to declare her as his girlfriend when the truth was totally different. He said the whole scenario was created by him.
