Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel recently stepped out for the launch of Mumbai's new premium Indian resto-bar, Aahii, in Prabhadevi. While her presence added glamour to the social event, it was her candid interaction with the media regarding her personal life that stole the spotlight. Ameesha gracefully addressed the persistent, long-standing rumors linking her romantically to superstar Salman Khan, setting the record straight with honesty and poise.

The actress spoke openly about the public fascination with their equation, clarifying that her relationship with Salman Khan is rooted strictly in deep friendship, putting an end to ongoing speculation from fans and media alike.

Ameesha Patel revealed that the question regarding a potential marriage to Salman Khan is one she faces frequently, demonstrating the public’s keen interest in their off-screen relationship.

Ameesha added, "And when he has his little parties at the farmhouse, I am always a part of it. I don’t think this time around, with Dharma Ji’s passing, he will celebrate." Her sensitive comment provided insight into the close-knit nature of the industry and the respect paid during times of mournin
