From the picture we can easily gather that it is taken from the days when the two stars were allegedly dating. Aishwarya looks beautiful as usual while Salman dominates the boy-next-door look.

In many interviews, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had said that Salman would be suspicious of her always. When she spoke to ToI about their relationship, she said that “After we broke up, he would call me and talk inappropriately. He suspected me of having an affair with my co-stars, from Shah Rukh Khan to Abhishek Bachchan."

Few reports say that Salman Khan had created a scene in front of Aishwarya's Mumbai residence after their breakup. Salman has also admitted to this incident to an extent. In his book 'Being Salman', he had recalled the incident of him going to her apartment on the night of November 2001 in a fit of rage. He also spoke about him banging on her apartment door.

Some reports went the extra step to make it seem all the more dramatic, stating that Salman continued to bang the door till his hand began to bleed, and Aishwarya Rai had to let him in after that.
