Salman Khan’s private life has consistently been a subject of public fascination, often taking the spotlight away from his immense success in Bollywood. His romantic involvements with several famous actresses, including Katrina Kaif, Aishwarya Rai, Somy Ali, and Sangeeta Bijlani, have attracted a lot of media attention.
Of all his relationships, Salman Khan’s connection with Sangeeta Bijlani is one of the most talked-about. In a recent appearance on the television show *Indian Idol*, Sangeeta addressed the speculation surrounding their alleged near-marriage.
What makes the relationship between Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani especially intriguing is the fact that their wedding invitations had already been printed before their engagement ended. Indeed, they were about to marry before things fell apart unexpectedly. Although the reasons behind their split remain private, this chapter continues to captivate fans.
The subject was revisited during Sangeeta’s guest appearance on *Indian Idol*, where contestant Ritika Raj Singh asked her about the widely spread rumor regarding their wedding invitations. This question caught Sangeeta, as well as judges Shreya Ghoshal and Vishal Dadlani, by surprise. Nonetheless, Sangeeta confirmed the rumor, stating, “Yes, that’s not a lie.” Vishal, intrigued, asked her to elaborate on the story.
Sangeeta and Salman reportedly started their relationship in 1986, and their romance lasted for eight years, with marriage seemingly on the horizon. However, a month before the wedding, they abruptly ended things. Some rumors suggest the split happened after Sangeeta found out about Salman’s alleged affair with Somy Ali, a Pakistani-American actress who had been a long-time admirer of Salman. She moved to India to work in Bollywood and eventually became involved with him. Their relationship, however, ended under a cloud of accusations of abusive behavior.
