She also left Florida just to marry him. In 1994, their affair began and lasted until Salman began dating Aishwarya Rai. This June, Somy claimed it was Aishwarya who was responsible for their split.
Aishwarya broke off with Salman due to his violent nature
Salman and Aishwarya met while filming Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam in 1999 and soon became close. She even bonded with his sisters, Arpita and Alvira Khan.

Claudia met Salman on the sets of 'Bigg Boss 3'
On the sets of Bigg Boss Season 3 in 2009, Salman met Claudia Ciesla, and it was speculated that the Wanted actor has officially accepted her in his life. However, Claudia rubbished the rumors and said, "Salman and I are just good friends. He is not my boyfriend. Everyone knows that it is Katrina Kaif who is his girlfriend and not me."
