Although Aishwarya Rai Bachchan avoided discussing Salman Khan on “Koffee with Karan,” she did address her disagreement with Sanjay Leela Bhansali during their appearance together. Additionally, she spoke about being replaced in films during an interview with Simi Garewal. However, it’s evident that these experiences did affect her, despite her attempts to downplay them.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has consistently upheld her dignity and integrity throughout her career. She has never compromised her principles or acted unreasonably in front of the camera. Moreover, she has always refrained from making negative or inappropriate comments about anyone or anything, maintaining a respectful distance from such behavior.
One notable instance was when she gave an interview discussing her breakup with Salman Khan, making it official for the first time.
It’s been rumored that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan experienced a moment of emotional breakdown while filming for Guzaarish on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s sets. Allegedly, she was deeply affected by ongoing discussions or comments made about her, leading to her breaking down.
Following Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s marriage to Abhishek Bachchan, she reportedly found herself affected by past events. This emotional turmoil allegedly led to a moment where she broke down on the set of “Guzaarish” and reportedly said, “I’m living my life the way I want. I wish others would do the same. Just let me be.”
According to reports, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was deeply affected by two interviews. In one, Salman Khan discussed the topic of hitting a woman, asserting that he had never physically harmed anyone. In the other interview, Vivek Oberoi spoke to Farah Khan about feeling unrecognized for his efforts towards Aishwarya. A close friend of the family defended Aish and expressed, “We feel what Mr Khan and Mr Oberoi are doing is very ungentlemanly. It’s unchivalrous to talk about any lady who has moved on to a new phase in her life.”
The friend further suggested that Vivek Oberoi should exhibit maturity and accountability for his actions as an adult, particularly in response to his alleged remarks about Aishwarya Rai not acknowledging his efforts for a press conference. It was asserted by the friend that Aishwarya Rai was ‘horrified’ upon learning about the press conference.
Well, it appears that following this presumed and speculated report, Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi gradually refrained from discussing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, either specifically or in a broader sense, over the years. Aishwarya was last seen in her mentor Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan where she played the role of Nadnini, the film was based on books by the same name by literary giant Kalki.
