New Delhi: Will 2016 finally be the year when superstar Salman Khan gets hitched? After dating many girls in the past will Bhaijaan marry Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur? These are among the few questions which has kept tabloids hooked up for months now.
The way Iulia walked side by side with Salman at actress Preity Zinta’s reception party added more fuel to these rumours. Before that, Iulia was seen taking care of Salman’s mother Salma at the Mumbai airport. It is being suggested that Salma’s health is what has prompted Salman to think seriously about settling down.
Till now there have been no official announcement from the Khandaan but the rumours are going strong.
Here’s everything you need to know about their love story:
The Beginning:
Salman and Iulia’s relationship started in 2010 during the shoot of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. Post that, when Salman visited Romania for Sohail Khan’s film ‘Jai Ho’; the closeness between him and Iulia increased. Though, Salman tried his best to hide the relationship from prying eyes, he failed.
Time and again, Iulia was seen close to Salman. Be it on his car’s backseat or at family gatherings, at Arpita Khan – Aayush Sharma’s wedding or even on the sets of ‘Bigg Boss’’ Iulia was photographed quite a number of times with the 50-year old superstar. At Salman’s birthday bash this year, Iulia was also present along with who’s and who’s of B-town.
It is also being said that Salman gifted a car to Iulia and she ferried to his home in the four-wheels. Salman’s penchant towards Iulia became more prominent when on social media he declared that he would like to make a Hindi version of ‘Farm’, a show hosted by Iulia.
Not hidden anymore:
Salman and Iulia’s relationship became more visible in media after the former’s acquittal in the 2002 hit and run case. Recently, a picture of Salman hugging Iulia in Dubai went viral.
Not only in his farmhouse, Iulia has been a regular visitor on the sets of ‘Sultan’, Salman’s upcoming movie. She stayed with him in Ludhiana as he wrapped up shoot.
Who is Iulia Vantur:
Aged 34 years, Iulia is a Romanian model and TV presenter. Since her relationship with Salman began, she has been spending more time in India. Iulia did an item number in the 2014 release, ‘O Teri’. This movie was produced by Salman’s brother in law Atul Agnihotri and starred Pulkit Samrat (estranged husband of Salman’s ralkhi sister Shweta Rohira).
Photos doing the rounds of Internet point out that Iulia was earlier married to Romanian pop star Marius Moga. Marius and Iulia were together for four years but there is no authentic report which states that they were really married or just dating.
Where is this relationship heading?
Right now, Salman is enjoying peace. His acquittal has relived him after 14 years. Meanwhile, his family has accepted Iulia perfectly, keeping aside her past. An ailing mother Salma has further increased the pressure on Salman to ditch his bachelorhood. And looks like he is about to do that this year.
At Preity Zinta’s wedding bash, Salman, reportedly, introduced Iulia as his girlfriend to his industry friends namely Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
Looks like the answer to the first question at the beginning of this article is after all, a yes!
