In 2002 after Aishwarya Rai parted ways with Salman Khan she had declared in a press statement: “For my well-being and for the self-respect of my family, I will not work with Mr Salman Khan. The chapter of Salman Khan was a nightmare in my life. I am thankful that it is over now.”
Since then the beautiful actress has stuck to her guns, ensuring that he doesn’t cross paths with Salman ever at any cost.
Twenty years later she remains steadfast in her conviction. Last month Aishwarya stayed away from The Kapil Sharma Show where the entire cast of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan turned up to promote the film.
Says a source close to the family, “Aishwarya opted out the minute she heard the venue was The Kapil Sharma Show. She is not someone who backtracks. Ek baar jo commitment kar liya toh woh phir apne aap ki bhi nahin sunti hai.”
