    Salman Khan’s bachelorhood at the age of 59 has often grabbed headlines and has also been the subject of many jokes. The actor himself has pointed out many times the irony of how everyone around him, whether his father, brother, or contemporaries, has been married, divorced, and remarried. However, he hasn’t had the opportunity even once. But there was a time when Salman came very close to getting married to his first serious girlfriend, Sangeeta Bijlani. However, she called off the wedding due to this shocking reason. 

    Sangeeta Bijlani was reportedly Salman Khan’s first serious girlfriend 

    Sangeeta Bijlani and Salman Khan began their careers as models before making their mark in Bollywood. Both of them were quite popular and were often paired together. As a result, they crossed paths with each other professionally quite a lot, which led them to start dating eventually in the late 1980s. They were in a serious relationship for eight years. Salman Khan had once also revealed in 2003 about his first love, which hinted people towards Sangeeta, and said:

    “Yes, I was in love… truly. Everyone knows who she is. We were kids, and we both grew up in the industry. It was very special.”

    Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani were about to get married when she called off the wedding 

    After dating each other for eight years, the then power couple, Sangeeta and Salman, decided to tie the knot. It was never officially announced, however, reports from those days say that it was a known fact that the two had gotten engaged in 1993 and were about to get married on May 27, 1994. On Koffee with Karan season 4, Salman had revealed that the invitations had been sent out for the wedding as well. However, Sangeeta called off the wedding just weeks before it was scheduled. 

    Sangeeta Bijlani caught Salman Khan cheating on her with Pakistani actress, Somy Ali 

    Somy Ali is a Pakistani actress who worked in numerous Bollywood films during the ’90s. However, even though she hasn’t worked in the industry for a long time, she is still remembered as one of Salman Khan’s exes. However, their relationship started on a very strange note. Sangeeta had caught Salman red-handed with Somy, which the latter revealed in an interview with the Indian Express in 2023. 

    Somy revealed that the wedding cards were printed, but the to-be bride caught Salman with her. As a result, the wedding was called off by Sangeeta and she also broke up with her fiance. Somy and Salman then started dating each other, however, they also broke up when the actor started to get closer to Aiswarya Rai during the shooting of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Talking about Sangeeta catching Salman cheating, Somy said:

    “The wedding cards were printed, but Sangeeta caught him red-handed with me.”

    Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani are still good friends 

    Even after being wronged in the relationship, it seems Sangeeta forgave Salman since the two are still great friends. They have been quite close as family friends and have been seen at each other’s birthday bash. Recently, on July 9, 2025, Salman attended Sangeeta’s 65th birthday party. Talking to Times of India, about why she maintains such good relations with Salman despite their ugly break up, the actress said:

    “Connections don’t break. Connections never go away. The love between your partners, school friends never go away. People will come and go. Nobody will be permanent in life. That does not mean you will feel bitter or angry. At one point you evolve. There was a point in time of my life where I was childish and stupid, but I am a grown-up now. Life is full of experiences.”

    Sangeeta Bijlani and Salman Khan after their break up have been involved in many sensational relationships with other people that created quite a stir. Sangeeta dated star cricketer, Mohammad Azharuddin, while he was still married to his first wife, Naureen. After his divorce, the two got married, but it ended in divorce too, with the reason seemingly being Azharuddin’s infidelity. Since then, Sangeeta has not been romantically linked with anyone else. 


    Salman Khan’s relationship with Aishwarya Rai has always been a hot topic of discussion. The two fell in love, but the relationship ended with one of the messiest break-ups ever, with Salman being accused of obsessive and abusive behaviour. The actor was also in a serious relationship with Katrina Kaif, however it ended too but the two are on cordial terms now. Salman Khan was last linked up with Romanian actress and singer, Lulia Vantour. However, they never denied or confirmed the relationship.
