The two were also rumoured to be tying the knot on May 27, 1994, but the wedding never happened and till date, Salman flaunts jaded most eligible bachelor tag.
Back then it was widely reported that wedding invitations were also printed for Salman and Sangeeta.

In a recent interview, Sangeeta spoke about how she has managed to stay in touch with the actor over the years. When asked about her equation with Salman, the 61-year-old actor said, "Connections don't break. Connections never go away. The love between your partners, school friends never go away. People will come and go. Nobody will be permanent in life. That does not mean you feel bitter or angry. At one point you evolve." She added, "There was a point in time of my life where I was childish and stupid, but I am a grown up now. Life is full of experiences."

Earlier, Salman also opened up about the time he almost got hitched on Karan Johar's chat show and said, "There was a time that I really wanted to get married and then it just didn’t work out. I have always come so close. People have got cold feet. ‘Theek hai, boyfriend, isko zindagi bhar jhelna padega kya (They think I am a good boyfriend but it’s difficult to tolerate me for the rest of their lives).’ With Sangeeta, even the cards and all were printed."

Sangeeta and Salman went through ups and downs in their relationship which eventually led to their split. Earlier, Sangeeta even openly confessed that Salman was cheating on her with Somi Ali. "A month before the wedding I felt there is something wrong. I started to follow him and found that he is not worth getting married. Not only that, but I also felt that he is not even capable of becoming a boyfriend. It was a very emotionally traumatic and terrible experience," Sangeeta had said in a throwback interview.
