Throwback: When Salman Khan dropped major hint about his relationship with Iulia Vantur
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, often dubbed the industry’s most eligible bachelor, had once stirred up excitement among fans and media alike with hints about his romantic status.
Back in 2022, during a playful interaction on the set of ‘Bigg Boss,’ Salman appeared to confirm that he is not single, a statement that fueled speculation about his long-rumored relationship with Romanian actress and singer Iulia Vantur.
The revelation occurred while Salman was having a fun conversation with Shehnaaz Gill. In a light-hearted exchange, Shehnaaz complimented Salman on his appearance, saying, “Sir, aap single hi acche lagte ho” (You look good as a single only).
To this, Salman responded, “Jab ho jaunga, tab aur accha lagunga” (When I become single, I’ll look even better). Shehnaaz then teased him further, asking, “Achaa, committed ho?” (Oh, so you are committed?) This playful banter marked the first time Salman publicly hinted at his love life, raising eyebrows and sparking discussions among fans and commentators alike about his relationship status with Iulia Vantur.

Adding fuel to the speculation, Salman recently hosted a lavish birthday celebration for Iulia Vantur, who turned 44 on July 24. The event was attended by close family and friends, showcasing the strong bond between Salman and Iulia.
Salman’s family members Arpita Khan Sharma, Alvira Agnihotri, and their husbands were present, alongside the younger generation of the Khan family Arhaan Khan and Nirvaan Khan. The birthday bash was filled with joy, laughter, and memorable moments that were widely shared on social media platforms.
Despite the ongoing rumors, both Salman and Iulia have remained tight-lipped about the exact nature of their relationship.
On the work front, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next big project, an action thriller titled ‘Sikandar,’ directed by A.R. Murugadoss. The film is highly anticipated and is set to be released during Eid 2025, featuring Rashmika Mandanna alongside Salman. Additionally, there are speculations about his return as the iconic character ‘Devil’ in the sequel to ‘Kick,’ which has fans eagerly awaiting.
