It was the first year of her relationship with him. You don't breakup immediately after the first sign of abuse; many women think they can redeem their boyfriends/husbands and wait it out. (Especially Indian women, who are conditioned to stay put in relationships no matter what).
What Ash was doing here was just that. She was covering up for Salman thinking it was just an aberration and not his true self. So she was patient, and waited. In return she only suffered more abuse. And once she reached the breaking point, she broke up with him. (She was still quiet). But when Salman's harassment continued even a year after the breakup, that's when she lost it and made a public statement about how the Salman chapter was the worst nightmare of her life, and went on to categorically state she would never work with him.
Oh, and it was an obvious lie. How can someone get a black eye after a fall from the stairs? And it's such a bad black eye, that makeup + sunglasses couldn't hide it. That fuucking asshole Salman.
