In a 2002 interview, Aishwarya opened up about the emotional and physical toll the relationship had taken on her. She stated that she endured Salman’s violent and abusive behaviour: “I stood by him, enduring his alcoholic misbehaviour in its worst phases, and in turn, I was at the receiving end of his abuse — verbal, physical and emotional — infidelity, and indignity.

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.

That is why, like any other self-respecting woman, I ended my relationship with him.”However, Salman offered an entirely different version of events. Speaking to NDTV in an older interview, he firmly denied the allegations and even pointed to what he described as the physical improbability of the accusations:Salman Khan Denies Allegations“Now, the woman has said that I have, what to say...

I’m going to be angry. Forget whack, I’m going to give her my best shot. I don’t think she’ll survive it. So no, it’s not true, and I don’t know for what reason that was said.’”Salman expressed goodwill towards Aishwarya’s marriage to AbhishekThe 'Sikandar' actor later addressed Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek Bachchan during a 2010 interview with India TV.
