Famous Indian tech expert and Hotmail founder Sabeer Bhatia once expressed his wish to marry Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai. After that, he had an interesting and unexpected meeting with Salman Khan.
According to Indian media, in 2001 Sabeer Bhatia attended a high-profile party with TV host Simi Garewal where he met Salman Khan. At that time, Salman and Aishwarya were dating and making headlines.
During the meeting, Salman jokingly said, “So you are the one who wants to marry Aish?” Sabeer smiled and said it was just a rumor. Salman replied, “She is a very nice girl.”
Later at the party, Salman’s lit cigarette accidentally touched Sabeer’s hand. Salman then said with a smile, “Now your hands have really got ashes on them.”
It is said that Salman wanted to marry Aishwarya, but their relationship ended soon after. Sabeer Bhatia later married Tanya Sharma in 2008, but they divorced in 2013.
Sabeer Bhatia launched Hotmail in 1996. It was the world’s first web-based email service. A year later, Microsoft bought it for 400 million dollars.
