Aishwarya Rai
Love life (alleged)
Aishwarya Rai's alleged love affairs!
She's one of the most beautiful women in the world and as a former beauty pageant winner, went on to put India on the global map. A popular face across the world, brand ambassador for L'Oreal, a name to reckon with in Bollywood, a regular at Cannes and a hands on mom, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is multi-faceted, a woman who has a story to tell and is much more than meets the eye. But being popular comes with a price and Ash has not been spared either.
A Sri Lankan man by the name of Niroshan Devapriya is claiming to be Aishwarya's alleged former boyfriend. As per a report in Hindustan Times, this person has filed a complaint against the actress for causing him mental stress by marrying Abhishek Bachchan. Link ups and rumours are a part of a celebrity's life and Ash has been targeted once again! She has been linked to some of the hottest men in Bollywood. Here's a look at her alleged affairs.
Rajeev Mulchandani - It is alleged that Aishwarya was dating Rajeev Mulchandani, a model she met during her shoots. Apparently, Aishwarya knew him from the time the two were modelling. The former beauty queen even did some photo-shoots with her alleged former boyfriend. But Ash is not his only claim to fame. Rajeev is said to have also dated Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala and it is alleged that Ash and Manisha even had a catfight because of him. But if there is any truth to this rumour, it's forgotten as Ash has now become Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajeev Mulchandani has been forgotten for good.
Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai - Salman Khan and Aishwarya’s famous love story began on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. The actor was besotted by the light eyed beauty and the two are said to have dated from 1999-2001. But this legendary love story was not meant to be. Ash apparently called off the relationship due to Salman’s infidel ways, when the actor indirectly confessed to her that he had cheated on her. When Ash broke up with Salman, this did not go well with the actor who was known to be wild and angry. He even allegedly created a fracas during the shooting of Chalte Chalte and Ash was eventually replaced by Rani Mukerji. Aishwarya’s parents never approved of the relationship from the beginning but yet Ash stood by her man. In an interview to The Times of India in 2002, Aishwarya Rai was quoted saying, “Salman and I broke up last March, but he isn't able to come to terms with it. After we broke up, he would call me and talk rubbish. He also suspected me of having affairs with my co-stars. I was linked up with everyone, from Abhishek Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan. There were times when Salman got physical with me, luckily without leaving any marks. And I would go to work as if nothing had happened.”
Aishwarya was then linked to her co star Viveik Oberoi when the two were shooting for Kyun! Ho Gaya Na. Viveik had apparently gifted Ash 30 gifts on her 30th birthday and was said to be besotted by her. However, it seems things did not go well with Salman who apparently threatened the life out of him. While Viveik called a press conference (that would ruin his career in Bollywood), Aishwarya quickly moved on to Junior Bachchan and married him. In the press conference, he had said that Salman had called him a number of times and abused him. Whatever truth there was to this rumour, seemed to die down overnight as Ash was then romantically linked to Aby Baby aka Junior Bachchan aka Abhishek Bachchan. In an interview to entertainment.oneindia.in, Viveik was quoted saying, "When I was in both my serious relationships (Gurpreet Gill and Aishwarya Bachchan) I was very committed..." (sic)
Abhishek Bachchan - While Ash and Abhi shared a cordial relationship with each other and worked together on films like 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke', 'Kuch Naa Kaho', 'Umrao Jaan' and 'Guru', they were never romantically linked. Abhishek was madly in love with Karisma Kapoor and they were every bit the couple in love. Abhishek and Karisma got engaged to each other on Amitabh Bachchan’s 60th Birthday where a lavish party was thrown for Big B at a suburban five star hotel in Mumbai. But suddenly a few months later, the wedding was called off. While there were many rumours regarding the break up, Aishwarya and Abhishek started work on JP Dutta's Umrao Jaan. That's when things started to apparently heat up between the two and it is alleged that Abhishek Bachchan proposed to Aishwarya Rai in Toronto after the premiere of 'Guru' there. Aishwarya immediately accepted the proposal and the two got married to each other on April 20th, 2007. The couple have a daughter together; Aaradhya Bachchan. Abhishek has also accompanied Ash on the Cannes red carpet and on the Oprah Winfrey show. They look very much in love and set an example of what couples in Bollywood should be like.
