While Aishwarya prefers to maintain a dignified silence on matters close to her heart, she is also a woman of substance who knows to stand up for herself and her loved ones. Back in early 2000s, Aishwarya and Salman Khan started dating while shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’, but their relationship soon turned sour and they parted ways in 2001. After their much-public breakup, Aishwarya had said in an interview that she ended her relationship with Salman after dealing with his alcoholism. As per reports, she had also revealed that she received verbal, physical, emotional abuse, infidelity, and indignity all of which eventually lead to the breakdown of their relationship.
While it is heart-breaking to know the pain she had to endure, it all shows her courage to stand up for herself and lead a dignified life.
