Salman Khan Opens Up About Almost Marrying Sangeeta Bijlani In Viral Video: 'Cards Were Printed; I Wanted...'

Salman Khan was in a steady relationship with actress Sangeeta Bijlani and the two were even set to tie the knot. In fact, their wedding invitations had also been printed before the marriage was called off. In an earlier appearance on Koffee with Karan, Salman opened up about not having tied the knot yet and recalled the time when he wanted to marry Sangeeta.

When Karan asked Salman if he wanted to get married at all, the actor said, “There was a time when I really wanted to get married… With Sangeeta, cards were printed yaar.” Karan said, “Then it didn’t happen. Why, did she catch you?” A flustered Salman laughed and said, “Catch me where? No no.”

Karan Johar was hinting at Salman’s relationship with Somy Ali. Salman was enamoured by Somy Ali when they worked together and would meet her behind Sangeeta’s back. In fact, it was said that Sangeeta even caught Salman red-handed at Somy’s house. Somy confirmed this in a recent chat.

“Yes, that’s absolutely true,” Somy Ali told Times Now. She recalled, “I was living in Vindyachal (Uttar Pradesh) at that time. Salman used to climb the pipes and come to my room through my window. I found this act of Salman utterly romantic. It was a two-bedroom apartment. However, I remember one day he came over at around 10:30 am when this incident happened. He was still seeing Sangeeta at that time and in fact, their wedding cards had been printed as well.”

Somy said, “Salman and I were sitting and talking in my room and Sangeeta walked in suddenly. She looked at Salman and said, ‘This is it. You have to make a choice.’ Salman told me, ‘Somy I’ll be back in 10 minutes.’ I assumed that he would go ahead and marry Sangeeta since the wedding cards had already been printed. But he came back to the room and told me that he had broken up with Sangeeta and he wanted to be with me. I felt like it was fate.”

Somy added that years later, she even apologised to Sangeeta for ‘breaking their marriage’. “I told her I was deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart. I was a child then and I did not know what I was doing. She told me ‘I don’t care, I am happily married to Azhar (Azharuddin, cricketer)’ but the next month, she filed for a divorce from him,” she said and added, “I knew that what the 16-year-old Somy Ali did was wrong. She broke up a marriage. I wanted to take the higher road and apologise to Sangeeta.”
