After their breakup, Aishwarya was rumored to be dating Vivek Oberoi, leading to a highly publicized conflict between Salman and Vivek.

Salim Khan's Perspective On Salman-Vivek Feud

In a past interview with Zoom, Salman's father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, recalled the feud. «There is no logical or rational solution to emotional problems, and both Salman and Vivek have been emotional. Years later, they will realize that they fought over a stupid thing. Koi aur le gaya, koi aur chala and yeh wahi ke wahi hain (Someone else took her away and these two remained where they were),» Salim Khan stated.

During the same interview, Salim Khan predicted a positive change in Salman's life after 2009. «Salman will soon be out of the problems he is surrounded by. He is destined to. From 2009 onwards, times will change for the better for him. If Salman has to get married, it will happen in a year or two; otherwise, chances are bleak. While I love all my children equally, the attention, right now, is on Salman because he is going through a difficult time in his life,» he said.
