"Salman was physical, obsessive, banged his…" EXPLOSIVE claims by Prahlad Kakkar on Aishwarya romance

Few Bollywood love stories have captured massive public attention like Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai’s. Their chemistry lit up Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999 and soon spilled into real life. But what looked like a fairytale quickly turned into one of the industry’s most controversial splits. Years later, filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar has now pulled back the curtain on just how stormy that chapter really was.

Prahlad Kakkar’s Stark Revelations

In a candid chat with Vickey Lalwani, Kakkar recalled living in the same building as Salman during those years and witnessing the actor’s downward spiral after the breakup. He described Salman as intensely obsessive and even “very physical,” a side of the romance that, he implied, was troubling to anyone watching. Kakkar said he wasn’t relying on hearsay, he lived in the same building as Salman and saw it unfold himself. According to him, Salman would often return home in an agitated state, sometimes creating a scene in the foyer by banging his head against the wall. By the time their breakup became public, Kakkar revealed, the relationship had already crumbled in private and grown unbearably toxic. When it finally ended, it wasn’t just Aishwarya and her parents who felt a sense of relief; Kakkar said even those on the periphery, “the whole world,” seemed to breathe easier once that stormy chapter closed.

Kakkar also shared that Aishwarya was shaken not just by the breakup but by how the film industry responded. While she remained composed on the surface, she was hurt that almost everyone seemed to side with Salman. This betrayal of trust, Kakkar said, left her disillusioned and wary of people around her.

Life After the Storm

The romance that once captured India’s imagination ended in 2002, and both stars eventually charted different paths. Aishwarya found love again with Abhishek Bachchan, marrying him in 2007, and the couple now share a daughter, Aaradhya. Salman, on the other hand, has remained single, despite years of speculation about his love life.

Prahlad Kakkar’s revelations have revived memories of a breakup that once dominated headlines, reminding fans that behind the glamour and larger-than-life personas, Bollywood’s biggest stars face heartbreaks as intense and complicated as anyone else’s.
