Salman's famous love affair was with Aishwariya Rai soon after the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. The flick was declared a Box Office hit but their jodi went flop in 2002, when Aishwarya accused Salman of harassing her.
There were stories of Salman being too possessive and becoming uncomfortable when Ash shared screen with other superstars. Vivek Oberoi was one of his targets when he kissed the actress on screen. In 2003, Vivek even lodged a complaint against Salman for threatening him with 41 telephone calls but he soon apologised for this a number of times in public.
