Himani Shivpuri recalls Salman Khan’s relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Recently, actress, Himani Shivpuri had a candid conversation with Red FM Podcasts, in which she opened up about the dating days of Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She shared that, while shooting for the film, Humara Dil Aapke Pass Hai, she and Aishwarya became good friends and at that time Aishwarya and Salman’s relationship was also very strong. She shared that the Sultan actor used to come every night and leave in the morning. She explained:
“She was not very established back then. We were very close then, used to roam in vans. We would shoot in Hyderabad for Humara Dil Aapke Pass Hai. This was the time when she and Salman were going very strong, so Salman used to come every night and leave in the morning. She was very nice and very well read, and we used to talk a lot. And there were some things that I couldn’t share, of course. More than a beauty, I think she is a very nice person.”
She continued to recall an incident when Salman Khan came to Himani to rant about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She shared that Salman was pissed with her and he wanted Himani Shivpuri to talk to the Jazbaa actress. In her words:
“I remember once we were shooting in Film City. Aishwarya was shooting with Abhishek for Rohan Sippy’s film, and Salman had come, and he was pissed. He was telling me, ‘Kya hai? Isko samjhao. Waheeda Rehman ko dekhe. Apne aap ko bohot khubsurat samajhti hai’. I used to tell him to calm down, to stay quiet.”
