Salman Khan’s bachelorhood at the age of 59 has often grabbed headlines and has also been the subject of many jokes. The actor himself has pointed out many times the irony of how everyone around him, whether his father, brother, or contemporaries, has been married, divorced, and remarried. However, he hasn’t had the opportunity even once. But there was a time when Salman came very close to getting married to his first serious girlfriend, Sangeeta Bijlani. However, she called off the wedding due to this shocking reason.
Sangeeta Bijlani was reportedly Salman Khan’s first serious girlfriend
Sangeeta Bijlani and Salman Khan began their careers as models before making their mark in Bollywood. Both of them were quite popular and were often paired together. As a result, they crossed paths with each other professionally quite a lot, which led them to start dating eventually in the late 1980s. They were in a serious relationship for eight years. Salman Khan had once also revealed in 2003 about his first love, which hinted people towards Sangeeta, and said:
“Yes, I was in love… truly. Everyone knows who she is. We were kids, and we both grew up in the industry. It was very special.”
