Salman Khan is a name that resonates across the Indian film industry. Admired for his acting skills, generosity, and powerful influence in the entertainment industry, he is a complex individual. Born in 1965, Salman Khan, often referred to as “Bhai” by his fans and the industry, has established himself as one of Bollywood’s most prominent actors.
Khan’s rise to fame began in the late 1980s when he appeared in the supporting role of “Biwi Ho To Aisi.” But what really shot him to stardom was his major role in “Maine Pyar Kiya” (1989). He received great praise for his depiction of the endearing and lovable Prem, and Indian moviegoers will always have a special place in their hearts for him.

He’s well known for his attractive appearance and kind demeanor. It makes him one of the most desirable single men in the glamorous world of Bollywood. However, in the middle of his meteoric rise to fame, Khan’s romantic life was turbulent. His fascinating stories about his romances with Aishwarya Rai and Sangeeta Bijlani have always made headlines when someone talks about them. However, not many people know that Salman Khan first got into a relationship with Kiara Advani’s aunt, Shaheen.
Speaking about this, actress Kiara Advani once spilled the beans on her connection with Salman Khan.
Kiara Advani shared that Salman Khan’s first love was her aunt, Shaheen
Taking a risk, Kiara Advani revealed a secret connection between herself and Salman Khan when she appeared on Voot’s “Feet Up With The Stars Season 2.” She disclosed an intriguing connection: her mother, Genevieve Advani, shared childhood friendship with Salman Khan in Bandra. Kiara narrated how Khan, envisioning stardom, would talk to her mother about his aspirations while they pedaled around the neighborhood on their bicycles.

Salman Khan and Shaheen were about to get married
While his friendship with Kiara’s mother is a well-known thing, Kiara revealed something that many had been keeping a secret. Salman Khan loved her aunt Shaheen, who was also his first love. Surprisingly, Genevieve Advani played the role of a matchmaker by bringing Shaheen and Salman together. Not only this, but she also fostered what may have been their first love relationship. Kiara said,
“She introduced my mausi Shaheen to him and Salman sir and Shaheen mausi dated each other long back. It may have possibly been their first relationship.”
Long before his Bollywood reign, Salman Khan and Shaheen’s relationship bloomed. There were rumors in the 1980s that the couple was about to get married soon. Shaheen’s stepmother, Bharati Jaffrey, also talked nostalgically about those days. She emphasizes the close relationship Salman had with their family, supposing that he and Shaheen would soon be married. Kiara added,
“We’d treat Salman like family, often ordering him to get us our morning loaf of bread from the nearby bakery. And Salman’s family also treated Shaheen like one of their own. It was taken for granted that they’d get married some day.”
The unfortunate turn and heartbreak
However, things didn’t go as planned. Rumors circulated about Salman Khan’s increasing closeness to then-reigning Miss India, Sangeeta Bijlani. It caused friction between him and Shaheen. When Salman’s focus changed, they had to split ways, which devastated Shaheen. After that, Shaheen started working for an airline. Later on, she met businessman Vikram Aggarwal, and their relationship flourished. It resulted in their marriage in 1994 and a happy family life with two kids.
