Aishwarya Rai has been in the spotlight recently due to rumours about her alleged divorce with Abhishek Bachchan.

Amidst this, an old story about her past dating life has resurfaced, and surprisingly, it’s not about Salman Khan.

Crowned Miss World in 1994, Aishwarya quickly gained recognition as one of the most beautiful women globally.

Even before her Bollywood debut, she was in demand during her modeling days.

Aishwarya’s appearance alongside Aamir Khan in a Coca-Cola advertisement won hearts and set the stage for her rise in the industry.

Aishwarya Rai not only made her mark in Bollywood but also stepped into Hollywood, gaining global recognition. Alongside her acting career, her personal life has often been a topic of discussion.

Known for being private about her relationships, Aishwarya was reportedly linked to supermodel Rajiv Mulchandani during her early modeling days.

Rajiv Mulchandani was a prominent Indian supermodel at the time and later transitioned into photography and production.

He featured in various modeling shows, magazines, and even some films. Mulchandani has acted in Mahesh Bhatt’s film A Mouthful of Sky.

He also worked as a photographer in the movies like Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part 2, Aim and Being Cyrus. He was also a part of many ad campaigns.

It is believed that Aishwarya and Rajiv began their modeling careers together and worked on several photoshoots.

As Aishwarya’s career soared with film offers, reports suggest that she ended her association with Rajiv.

After winning the Miss World title in 1994, Aishwarya Rai began receiving numerous offers.

She eventually made her debut in 1997 with the film Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, starring alongside Bobby Deol.

Aishwarya gained immense popularity for her performances in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas, both directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

She was widely praised for her portrayal of Nandini in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Paro in Devdas.

Rumours indicate that during this period, Aishwarya broke with Rajiv because she her bond with Salman Khan grew close and they were more than just friends.
