When Salman Addressed Aishwarya¡¯s Physical Abuse Claims, ¡®If I Hit Her, She Wouldn't Survive It'
A few years after Aishwarya Rai claimed that Salman Khan hit her, the actor in an interview gave it back to her shockingly.
Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai¡¯s infamous relationship is known to all. The duo dated in the late-1990s and early-2000s before having an ugly fallout when Aishwarya accused Khan of hitting her. In an old video that has now resurfaced, Salman can be seen reacting to it shockingly.

In 2002 after the duo¡¯s fallout, Aishwarya in an interview poured her heart out.
She told the Bombay Times, ¡°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. That is why like any other self-respecting woman, I ended my relationship with him.¡±
A few years down, Salman finally opened up on Aishwarya¡¯s claim of being hit by the Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
He spoke in an interview on NDTV, ¡°Now, the woman has said that I have, what to say.¡± When the reporter asked Salman if he did not want to get into that, the actor responded, ¡°A journalist, who asked me this a long time ago and I just banged the table and he got startled if the table really broke.¡±
¡°I said, ¡®Now if I hit somebody, it¡¯s obviously going to be a fight. 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,¡± the clip quotes Salman as saying.
Aishwarya began dating Salman during their 1998 film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and was only seen together in Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002).

In his recent appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Salman was asked about his relationships, to which the actor said, ¡°Unlucky in love. Jab koi aesa ayegi toh hojayega. Actually sabhi acche the fault mujh mein hi lie karta hai. When the first leaves, the fault lies in them, when the second person leaves, the fault is with them only, when the third person leaves the fault is with them. When the fourth person leaves then there is a doubt. Is the fault with them or me? With the fifth person, it's 60-40."

"Usse zada jaane lagti hai toh woh confirm karjaati hai ki fault mera hi tha. Isme kisi ka dosh nahi hai, yeh bas mera hi dosh hai. Shayad ek fear ka ho ki main shayad unko woh zindagi, woh sukh na de pau jo ki unke dimaag mein hai. I'm sure sab apni apni jagah bohut khush hai¡±, he added.
