In the 1990s, Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were an IT couple. The two met on the set of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, and their love affair began. However, their relationship did not work out later on. When Ash and Salman began dating, Khan was already dating Somy Ali and they lived together at the time. In an interview, Somy Ali discussed Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's growing romance at the time, which led to her split.

Somy told Times Now about an incident that occurred on the sets of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. She told the outlet that Salman didn't answer the phone while the shoot was going on. She then called director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who informed her that Khan was now shooting and unable to speak with her. Somy asked him, "If he's in a shot, why aren't you directing it?" Why are you answering my phone call? The logic defied me. I cornered him and he had no idea.
