Apparently it seems to be true news. Komal Natha has confirmed it on BBC, Salman Khan went on the sets of Kuch Na Kaho (staring Abishek Bachchan, Aishwariya Rai) and started a conversation with Aish. and out of no where, he started to beat her, and it came as a huge surprise to everyone on the sets as it happened all of a sudden. He also said that there are about 30-40 eye witnesses who can confirm for this to be true. Other news about Abhishek Bachchan intervene between the two as Salman Khan was beating her is just rumors according to Komal Natha.

The Khan brothers have always had an attitude, only a few years ago one of the other brothers beat someone up and proclaimed that the Khans ruled mumbai and no one could touch them, low and behold a few days later he had to apologise to the guy he beat up......ha ha ha.

I guess it shows what kind of a "man" Salman Khan really is. Not only is he a bad actor, but also a woman beater. Shame on him!

Not only a woman beater. Read somewhere that he beat up on
Rishi Kapoor's son. This dude is bad news man, he just can't control his pecker.

All three brothers, 'Salman, Arbaaz & Sohail' are goondas. There are numerous stories about them beating up and bullying people, getting into brawls after getting drunk and disturbing the peace in the middle of the night on the streets. As far as Salman Khan beating up on Aishwarya, so what's new? There have been stories of him doing the same to her on several occasions earlier. Also incidents of Salman beating up his ex girl friend Somy Ali came out regularly while they were dating.

What I fail to understand, is why does Aishwarya put up with all this. Does not say much about her self esteem. Quite honestly I lost respect for Aishwarya the day I found out she was dating Salman. What I mean is when she first came on the movie scene I had watched an interview of hers and I formed a very positive opinion of her. Based on that interview and her answers to the questions I had thought that here was an intelligent girl in Bollywood for a change. Unlike the normal bimbettes that bollywood is full off, who can at best only talk about their clothes and the great character (2 bit undefined role) that they are playing in their forthcoming films, Aishwarya had come accross as an intelligent and well rounded personality (I guess credit to her Miss World training). But when stories of her dating Salman were confirmed I thought to myself, how can an intelligent girl fall for a guy like Salman, someone who is crude, vulgar (reflected in numerous of his films) and obnoxious (as per people who have interacted with him and whom I know).

The other thing I have always failed to understand is why such a person would continue to have any fans. Also why is it that in India nopthing that a star does ever effect their public or commercial standing?

Anyhow the point to my whole post, why is anyone so surprised at this news? What this news does do though, is emphasize the fact that Aishwarya cannot be a very smart or intelligent person to continue to put up with a guy like him. Also more importantly the moral fibre of India has eroded to such an extent that when it comes to the rich and famous, everything and anything is excused, be it breaking the law or breaking the moral and ethical norms of a civilized society.

technically she should be dating me, I would treat her the way a woman should be treated...lots of TLC!

cant wait to tell my mum in the morning, she loves salman bet she will not belive me again like last time i told her he hits ash.

hahahaha D: D:

Alright, now here is how rumours start. Who said Salman is dating Aish? how do people on this board, so call 'confirm' this news? the only true way of knowing this is if you have seen it with your own eyes. Some of the journalists are so shameless that they WILL stoop to low levels to get stories. So if a hundred media outlets propogates the same lie, does that lie become true? In any case, let us make a leap of faith here and agree the Salman and aish are seeing each other. Where is this bit of Komal Nata coming with the 'new' piece of information. I mean the guy who started this could have atleast provided a flipping link atleast. I personally do not think aish is stupid enough to be a punching bag. I'll definitely give her the benefit of the doubt there and as for salman's violent behaviours, I'll believe if I see it (i.e pictures or some actual links to respected journalists)..By the way radiosargam.com is by no means respected as they have put erroneus info a bit too often and constantly try their very best to sensationalize things. If places like Times of India or Rediff.com has it, I think then the news bit would be more authentic. Guys please think before you just post thoughts ..

See guys, salman has refused to talk to the media for years and the media is desparate to know more about this seemingly mysterious man. They feel (and probably are) treated bad by Salman and therefore, they'll say whatever they want to make him(i.e their enemy) look bad. I mean some of the news are blatantly obvious that this had the sole purpose of maligning Salman as opposed to bringing about an unbiased view.

As for people loving salman, well he did act in a couple of Classics and girls find him to look like a Greek God..

BTW I think I am GOD....ummmm..'cause Komal Natha said so

what do you mean by your last remark? you think you are Salman Khan?



Edited By congress on Jan. 27 2002 at 17:12

youll find most these stories are just rumours and not facts also most will appear on the mother of all make believe websites RADIOSArGAM!!!

Would you say Salman's father, Salim Khan is a credible source to confirm this info? Well in the January 27th, 2002 'Delhi Times' section of the 'Times Of India', on the front page, Salman's own father has written (and I mean he is the author of the article, not an interviewee) about this whole issue. He writes that Salman and Aishwarya have been seeing each other for over 4 yrs now.
Read it here -->Salim Khan's article.

CASE CLOSED.

I am sorry to burst your bubble, but the fact is that Aishwarya is stupid enough to be a punching bag. If you don't want to believe it, that's your business, but the fact is that this has been reported in several news papers and magazines here in India. Also this was not the first instance of her being physically hit by Salman, several times earlier such incidents have been reported in respected newspapers like 'Times of India' & 'Hindustan Times'. By the way this news was also reported on Rediff.com unfortunately I am unable to find the link to it since they have updated their front page. But I do have links to atleast one article each in the 'Hindustan Times' and 'The Times of India' regarding this issue.

Click here-->Hindustan Times Article

Click here-->Times Of India Article

By the way, the article in the Times of India is by Salman Khan's own father, Salim Khan. One cannot expect his own father to come out and outright accept that his son has been beating up on his girl friend, but even then if you read the article he does not outright deny it. Infact it is quite clear from the article that Salim Khan is trying to just cover for his son and make excuses for him.

As for Salman Khan's violent outbursts with ex gf Somy Ali were also reported in newspapers and magazines several times while they were seeing each other.

Reports of other incidents of violence involving Salman Khan and his brothers has also been reported in the newspapers earlier. Infact police intervention was also confirmed by the police in the past. It is not possible for me to find links to all these incidents and reports, therefore if you choose to use that as an excuse to remain ignorant, that is your choice.

The fact that he has worked in a couple of classics does nto mean he was responsible for making them so. Because if that was the case all his other movies would have been atleast somewhat decent if not as great as those. In fact the only thing common one can find in a lot of Salman movies, is cheap, vulgar and crude attempts at comedy. Things like passing gas, using crude body language etc. Examples include, even an otherwise so called classic 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', 'Hello Brother', 'Judwaa' etc. etc. As for his acting the less said the better. I think a perfect example of Salman's acting capabilities, I should say buffoonery passed of as acting, is a film in which he co starred with Priety Zinta & Rani Mukherjee, and which was a copy of While You Were Sleeping. Enough Said.

Did not know that Greek Gods had such poor personalities, such as Salman Khan. It is a shame that today's girls will fall for anyone with half a personality (looks aside), just cause they are stars, succesfull or rich.

PS: I have friends who work in Coke, (Salman is a Thums Up model a brand owned by Coke), and they have told me stories about his vulgar and crude behaviour on the sets while shooting ad films. But I shall not go into details, since I would probably not count as a credible source to you. Anyhow I think there is enough eveidence to support these stories if one wants to see them and not be blinded by someone's star status and steroids induced biceps.

Firstly, I think you should read more carefully, I never said i got my info. from Radiosargam (which i do realize is a pure boggus website for many types of bollywood info, and i also realize that Komal Natha is a writer for Radiosargam). BUT, My source is BBC, and I don't think Komal Natha is stupid enough to come on national radio live to discuss this issue for about 20 minutes. He (komal Natha) even mentioned that Salim Khan wrote an article about this whole Aish/Salman relationship after the incident happened. And thanks to Sanjay for pointing the actual article out. I haven't actually read this article yet, but from what Komal Natha says about Salim Khan's views, he practically makes it sound like that it okay for Salman Khan to take upon such actions.

I too have heard and read a lot about Salman Khan's negative actions, but i myself didn't believe it, because most of those sources which i read used a key word "Rumors". But Komal Natha on BBC yesterday only mentioned this word once, and that was just to indicate that Abhishek Bachchan never intervened the two as Salman Khan was beating on Aishwariya Rai. Now that this source is very much confirmed and true, it makes me also believe that Salman Khan had also comminted such terriable crimes in the past which were just stated to be rumors at the time (ie. beating up news reporters, black bucks shooting, even beating on one of his ex-girlfriends Somi Ali, and Banging on Aishwariya Rai's front door late into the night). Mind you, I have also read that Salman Khan is also a strong donator to many kids orphans related institutions in India, which is indeed a good deed. But what he has now, makes him look more bad than good, because no one has the right to physically hurt others, regardless of your good deeds, and especially hurting a women, man! Indian culture extremely looks down upon that.

Hi Sanjay,

Thanks for the info. See that's what I (and I am sure a lot of us) wanted to see. Informations from respected journals. I'm not sure about the Hindustan Times article (as it openly claimed to be a Tabloid on the top), but on reading with an objective cap, I can still see that that article was quite possibly true. However here is my argument with respect to Salim Khan's article. He did say that aish and salman were going out. (Ok as of now this fact is confirmed) and then he says all relationships have problems (now this could mean just normal verbal arguments), but wait he does shed a little light on Salman's aggressive behaviour. Now it was not clear whether this physically agressive behavior was directed to aish or was it just a general statement of salman's 'public' behavior (i.e beating people in bars etc.). It doesn't explicitly say that he whacked aish and that beating mentality could merely refer to his Bar escapades. However, after reading both articles, (especially a credible source like Times of India), I will admit that aish is definitely stupid to be in a relationship with such a violent man. Maybe she is not getting hurt directly (which again no one has confirmed directly...ramming in a car, is not the same as ramming his fist in her face. The 'black eye' example still has no validation), but nevertheless Salman seems like a living time bomb that can be set off easily. Whenever I hear news, I ALWAYS look at it skeptically because I have been fooled before by the most outrageous of stories. But unfortunately this seems really true and partially explains aish's absence on the celluloid for quite some time. All I can say is that if she was my sister, I would crush that short guy and break every bone of his.

In terms of the other comments people made:

-The 'I am God' comment was meant to be sarcastic, since people tend to believe anything Komal Natha has supposedly said (ok maybe not DVD collector, but I know people who'd call me and say "arrey Komal Natha said blah blah").

- DVD collector, you are right..just because one does good deeds somewhere else it doesn't erase more evil actions elsewhere. Bad actions must be banned and punished regardless of whether the guy is just being another Robin Hood. We must try to safeguard by all mean certain remaining 'good' ethical beliefs. Woman abusers MUST be dealt with severly. (i.e public whipping would be a good punishment that they won't forget).

-Yes, since Salman has acted in classic doesn't mean he has helped making the classic. I know that, what I meant was that to the people, the actor "Salman Khan' is part of their favourite films (e.g people's whose favorite is HAHK, will think of salman dancing in 'didi tera dewar' song...The truth of the fact is that salman did give fairly decent performances in these movies). However, personally, I absolutely hate that guy's acting. Abnoxiousness and shameless attempt for cheap comedy is slowly becoming his mantra today. Hello Brother, Har dil Jo Pyar Karega etc. show his incredibly bad acting with incredibly annoying voices emanating from his body. The guy is BAD, but a lot of girls still love him for his looks, a lot of aunties still love him from HAHK.

Anyways, Sanjay, I appreciate showing those two links. And you're right, if you did tell me the story from your friend working with Coke, I would not have believed you. See people, I really encourage all of us to not blindly believe things, as by doing so we just become baits for the prying media. The Nepalese anger towards Hrithik's supposedly insensitive remarks or the countless number of times that Shah rukh khan has supposedly been shot by the underworld etc, are a more macroscopic manifestation of this evil vice of blind belief. Sites like Radiosargam should be shut down, but yet people just seem to love the info. from there..

Try to find proof for anything and everything before you believe news. Pick a valid source (e.g Times of India - though their bollywood articles are usually put forward by a Tabloid journal like FilmFare, but in general they still are one of the best. http://www.rediff.com is another good source).
