Salman Khan is back as host of Bigg Boss, and he’s already getting personal. During the premiere episode of the 19th season on Sunday, the Bollywood superstar opened up about his love life in a candid conversation with contestant Tanya Mittal.
After introducing Tanya, a content creator, Salman asked her what kind of movies she enjoys watching. She replied that she had seen his film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Taking the opportunity to ask a personal question, Tanya then asked him, “Sir, sacha pyaar humesha adhura rehta hai kya?” (Sir, does true love always remain incomplete?).
Salman responded with a surprising and humorous answer: “Sacha pyaar, I don’t know… kyunki abhi tak hua hi nahi. Na sacha pyar hua hai, na kuch adhura raha hai” (True love? I don’t know… because it hasn’t happened to me yet. There hasn’t been true love, nor anything that remains incomplete).
A Look at Salman Khan’s Past Relationships
Despite his recent statement, Salman has had several high-profile relationships over the years. He reportedly dated former actor Somy Ali from 1991 to 1999.
He was also in a relationship with Sangeeta Bijlani, which was one of his longest. The two dated for almost a decade and even had their wedding cards printed before calling off the ceremony. The couple recently made a joint appearance on the reality show Indian Idol 15, where Sangeeta revealed details about their past.
Salman was also reportedly linked with Aishwarya Rai after meeting on the sets of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999, but their relationship ended in 2002. More recently, he has been linked to actresses Katrina Kaif and Iulia Vantur, though he has never publicly confirmed any of these reports.
