During an interview, Aishwarya had said, “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. Salman hounded me and caused physical injuries to himself when I refused to take his calls.’
A few months later, Salman Khan had then responded to the same and physically abusing Aishwarya. The actor never admitted that he had beaten up Aishwarya. He had said that anyone can beat him up but he cannot hurt himself. Their back to back interviews made it clear that Aish and Salman were into a serious relationship.
