On Indian Idol 15, a contestant asked Sangeeta Bijlani if she would like to change anything in her career. Responding to this, the actress reflected on an ex-boyfriend whom she did not name. Bijlani said, "Jo the na humare ex (it would be my ex), I was very constricted. Matlab kapde yeh nahi pehanna, itne short nahi hone chahiye. Itna long hona chahiye, voh gale main... (I was told not to wear short clothes; the neck shouldn't be deep."
She added, "I could not wear this kind of dress. Initially, I did but then I was not allowed to. So I was shy then; abhi main aisi nahi hoon. Abhi poori gundi hoon. I’m not afraid now; I was reserved then."
Before speaking about her ex, she made a gesture that is very well associated with Salman Khan. This has led to fans wondering if she was talking about the 'Dabangg' star.

Sangeeta and Salman reportedly began dating in 1986, sharing a serious relationship that lasted eight years. Their bond was so strong that they even made plans to marry, with wedding invitations reportedly printed.
However, their love story took an unexpected turn when the wedding was called off just a month before the big day.
In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Salman’s ex-girlfriend Somy Ali revealed: “The wedding cards were printed, but Sangeeta caught Salman red-handed in my apartment. What Salman did to Sangeeta, the same happened to me. This is called karma; when I grew up a little, I understood it.”
