Salman Khan saved Ayesha Jhulka’s life
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ayesha recalled, “Salman was dancing on the tracks while I was performing inside them. Since it was a goods train route, we had secured permission, and the train was supposed to stop for a short duration. The plan was for us to move when the signal was given, but with the loud music playing, we completely missed it.”
She added, “All I remember is Salman yanking me with such force that it felt like my body had scattered into pieces. He had heard the train approaching—maybe others had too—but everything happened so fast that I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Later, everyone told me, ‘Salman just saved your life,’ but at that moment, I was too stunned to react.”

An old video of Ayesha discussing her link-up rumours with Salman, as well as with her Meet Mere Man Ke co-star Prosenjit, went viral on social media.
In the clip, she can be heard saying, “There have been controversies regarding my affairs. I am doing two films—Kurbaan and Meet Mere Man Ke. In Kurbaan, I am working with Salman Khan, and in Meet Mere Man Ke, I have teamed up with Prosenjit. And I have been linked with both actors! Now, you tell me, if I link up with every actor, what should I do? It would be difficult for me to decide. I can’t say anything.”
