Somi Ali said that the love story of Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai started on the sets of the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. Before this, Salman was in a relationship with Somi. However, when Somi got the news of her relationship with Aishwarya, she thought it best to break up with the actor.
In an interview to Zoom TV, Somi said, the shooting of the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' was going on. One day I called Salman and he did not pick up the call. Then I called the director of the film Sanjay Leela Bhansali and he said – Salman can't talk to you right now because he is busy with the shots.
I felt very strange hearing this. I told him – if he is giving the shots, why are you not directing? Why are you picking up my phone?'
Somi lived with Salman in the Galaxy apartment Somi continued, 'Later, Aishwarya started coming to Salman's gym, where Salman and I lived together. I lived with Salman on the ground floor of the Galaxy apartment, where we also had a gym.'
Somy also said that Aishwarya and Salman fell in love on the sets of the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. He said, 'I was getting information about this from insiders who favored me. I knew in my heart that their relationship was something that was bound to blossom. I knew it was time for me to go.'
Salman-Aishwarya broke up in 2001 Even before Somy's statement, it was mentioned in the media reports that Salman and Aishwarya became close on the sets of the film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. Their onscreen chemistry in the film was highly appreciated. However, this relationship did not last long and both decided to separate in 2001.
Aishwarya married Abhishek Bachchan on April 20, 2007 after her separation from Salman.
