The tumultuous relationship between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai was once one of the most talked-about love stories in Bollywood.

Even after many years, it seems that the shadow of Aishwarya still lingers in Salman Khan’s heart.

Recently, a leaked source caused a stir when it revealed that Salman Khan had shared with a close friend that he would always wait for Aishwarya to return, no matter how much time had passed.

A Promise Forever

Salman Khan, the famed Bollywood star, once shared a deep and passionate relationship with Aishwarya Rai, crowned as “Miss World” and one of the leading actresses in the Indian film industry.

Even though their relationship ended in the early 2000s, the deep emotions Salman has for her have seemingly never faded.

According to the leaked source, in a heartfelt conversation, Salman reportedly said: “I will always keep my arms open, waiting for her. Anytime she no longer feels comfortable with the Bachchan family, I’m always ready to welcome her back. Aishwarya deserves the happiness she seeks, and if she ever feels that place isn’t her peaceful haven, my doors are always open.”

This statement caused a massive stir among the public, especially considering Aishwarya Rai’s current successful career and family life with actor Abhishek Bachchan, the son of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan.

Love and Heartbreak: A Journey with No End

Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai were once considered Bollywood’s golden couple. Their relationship began in the late 1990s, after they worked together on the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999).

The audience was immediately captivated by the chemistry between the two stars, and their love quickly became the focus of public attention.

However, their relationship did not go smoothly.

The fame of both stars and the pressures from the public contributed to difficulties in their romance. Aishwarya once mentioned in an interview that there were times when she felt overwhelmed and unable to continue the relationship.

Eventually, in 2002, their relationship ended in sorrow and separation. Aishwarya moved on with her career and ultimately married Abhishek Bachchan in 2007.

However, the lingering memories of her relationship with Salman Khan have remained in the minds of fans—and perhaps in Salman’s own heart.

The Bachchan Family: An Invisible Pressure?

Although Aishwarya Rai is now married and has a seemingly happy family life with Abhishek Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya, she has always faced certain pressures from being a part of the prominent Bachchan family.

The Bachchans are one of the most powerful families in Bollywood, and being a part of this family comes with its share of challenges.

There have been rumors that Aishwarya’s relationship with her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan, hasn’t always been smooth. Some sources have suggested that there have been tensions between Aishwarya and Jaya regarding parenting decisions and her career.

Even though they consistently appear as a close-knit family in public, it’s undeniable that living in such a high-profile family may bring invisible pressures.

Could these pressures make Aishwarya Rai feel uncomfortable and lead her to seek a different kind of support? This is what many are wondering after hearing Salman Khan’s recent words.

A Love That Never Fades

Salman Khan’s declaration has left many wondering whether he truly can’t forget Aishwarya Rai. For him, the love he holds for her seems to have never extinguished.

Over the years, despite being linked to several other actresses, it appears that Salman’s true love still belongs to Aishwarya.

His willingness to open his arms and welcome her back, even if only when she feels uncomfortable with her current life, shows his sincerity and the deep feelings he still harbors for her.

This further emphasizes that, for Salman, Aishwarya remains the most important woman in his life.

Will Aishwarya Ever Return?

As this news spread, Bollywood fans could not stop speculating whether Aishwarya Rai would respond to Salman Khan’s declaration.

However, at the time of this writing, Aishwarya has remained silent on the matter.

The question remains: Would she ever feel the need to return to Salman’s arms? This depends on her current life within the Bachchan family and her relationship with Abhishek.

While their relationship seems stable, no one can predict what the future holds.

While awaiting a response from Aishwarya, Salman’s words have stirred emotions among fans. It serves as a reminder that love isn’t just about being together but also about waiting and being willing to open one’s arms, no matter how much time has passed.

Salman Khan’s declaration that he will always wait for Aishwarya Rai to return has left fans both emotional and curious about his true feelings for her.

Their relationship may have ended many years ago, but Salman’s love for her seems to remain intact. Whether Aishwarya will ever consider returning to Salman is a question that only time will answer.
