Actor Pradeep Rawat shares details about Salman Khan’s breakup with actors Somi Ali and Sangeeta Bijlani and how it broke his heart.
Actor Pradeep Rawat, who has worked with Salman Khan in Tiger Zinda Hai, Baaghi: A Rebel for Love and other films, recently talked about his relationship with the superstar. Pradeep was once one of Salman’s close people and had closely witnessed Salman’s breakup with actors Somi Ali and Sangeeta Bijlani. During the conversation, Pradeep revealed how Salman had broken both the actors’ hearts after their break-up, and also why he decided to gradually remove himself from Salman’s inner circle.
Talking to Siddharth Kannan, Pradeep said, ‘Salman Khan was not affected much. Somi Ali was greatly affected by their breakup. Salman is so goodlooking that he has no dearth of options. He was my friend and we used to sit together, eat together. They both told me their side of the story.
When asked what Sangeeta Bijlani’s reaction was after the breakup, Pradeep Rawat said that, “Obviously, Sangeeta was more affected. Who would want to lose a person like Salman?” In response to whether Salman is a heart-breaker, he said, ‘Sometimes things happen unknowingly and some misunderstandings happen. Salman is a very clean and pure hearted person; He can’t hurt anyone.
After being a close friend and confidante of Salman Khan, Pradeep Rawat gradually decided to move away from the actor’s inner circle. Explaining the decision, he said that, “I did not meet Salman for years because I thought that if I stay with him for a long time, there will be no room left for his bodyguard Shera because I will become his bodyguard. I thought that if I remained in this comfort I would not be able to achieve anything. So, I gradually came out of Salman’s inner circle.
Although Sangeeta Bijlani and Salman Khan remained friends after their break-up, things turned sour between the actor and Somi Ali, who accused him of physical abuse.
