Prahlad Kakkar recalls Aishwarya’s tough phase
Meanwhile, in a recent conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Prahlad Kakkar shared how Aishwarya’s breakup with Salman deeply affected her career. “I was just supportive to her. I told her, ‘Don’t worry about it.’ She said, ‘But the industry…’ What hurt her the most was being abandoned by the industry for Salman. She really felt that betrayal,” he recalled.Kakkar further revealed that Aishwarya’s real pain wasn’t from the breakup itself, but from the industry’s biased treatment toward her. “She wasn’t upset about the breakup. She was upset that everybody took Salman’s side and not hers. The truth was on her side. She didn’t trust the industry anymore because it wasn’t playing fair. I could understand if she was wrong and the other party was right, or if both sides were treated equally. But nothing, it was completely one-sided.”
