The love story between Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai was once the most talked-about topic in Bollywood. Their romance began on the sets of “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”, where their on-screen chemistry quickly turned into a real-life relationship. However, their love story ended in 2002, leaving fans heartbroken.
Now, music composer Ismail Darbar, who created the soulful music for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, has opened up about their relationship and the much-discussed feud.

In a recent interview with Vicky Lalwani, Ismail Darbar said:
“Reports of Salman and Aishwarya’s feud were everywhere in the media. We felt very bad because they were very close. They shouldn’t have fought. But all that is in the past now.”
He added that Salman Khan has moved on and no longer talks about that phase of his life.
Earlier, filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar had also revealed that he had personally witnessed fights between the two stars during their relationship. Kakkar mentioned that he lived in the same building as Aishwarya.

In the same interview, Ismail Darbar also spoke about his fallout with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He said he would never work with Bhansali again, even if offered Rs 100 crore, citing personal differences that arose during the making of the Netflix series “Heeramandi.”
Ismail Darbar and Bhansali once shared a strong professional bond. Together, they created some of Bollywood’s most memorable music. Darbar composed the music for Bhansali’s iconic films “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” and “Devdas,” both of which went on to become massive musical hits.
