The popularity of Bollywood’s favorite actor Salman Khan is no less than any superstar. Salman Khan is such a person in himself that everyone wants to be associated with. The bigger fan following he has, the more craze he has among girls. That too not now, probably since he would have regained consciousness. Therefore, the list of Salman’s girlfriends has also been very long.
There have always been discussions about the affairs of the actor, some of them were considered very serious and some just passed away. It is believed that even Salman’s wedding cards were printed with Sangeeta Bijlani. On the other hand, Bollywood might have forgotten the controversy with Aishwarya Rai in their fandom itself. But do you know who was his first girlfriend? Let us tell you.
Shaheen Bano was the first girlfriend
If reports are to be believed, the yesteryear actress Shaheen Banu was his first girlfriend. Salman Khan and Shaheen were so close that both of them even went together to audition for the film Maine Pyaar Kiya. However, Shaheen was not selected. Salman Khan and Bhagyashree were selected for this film. Had Shaheen been selected, she would have been the heroine in the film instead of Bhagyashree.
Salman’s boyhood love Shaheen
You must be thinking that if this is so, then why is Shaheen Bano’s name never taken. The big reason for this is believed to be that Salman Khan was 19 years old at that time, and was in his second year of graduation at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. Meaning that Salman was not popular at all at that time. It is about that time. Then Shaheen Bano… used to be Shaheen Jaffrey.
Special connection with Kiara
It is said that Genevieve Advani, mother of actress Kiara Advani, had introduced both of them. Salman and Shaheen started meeting each other and love blossomed between them. But Salman Khan became a hit after Maine Pyar Kiya and started getting films. During that time, Salman Khan met the famous model of that time and the 1980 Miss India Sangeeta Bijlani. The closeness of Sangeeta and Salman started increasing and this led to their breakup with Shaheen.
Who is Shaheen Bano?
Shaheen is the niece of the superstars of her era, Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu. At the same time, Kiara Advani’s mother also seems to be her cousin sister. She is also a relative of famous actor Ashok Kumar of her era. Shaheen married actor Sumeet Sehgal and both have a daughter, their son Saisha is an actress from South and wife of South actor Arya. Shaheen Bano has worked with big actors in many films like Ai Milan Ki Raat, Maha-Sangram, Darling-Darling, but the actress’s career could not take anything special.
