Julia was actively involved in oriental dancing and belly dancing, so that in 2014 she appeared in the video for the film O Teri, where Salman Khan played one of the roles. Since then, according to rumors, the couple has been dating, although the two met back in 2010 during the filming of “Ek Tha Tiger.”
As they say, Khan is now teaching the girl Hindi, and their joint project will soon start - the Hindi version of the Romanian reality show The Farm, where Julia will be the host.

Personal life of Salman Khan
The conqueror of women's hearts has a scandalous reputation. His name has made headlines more than once (after the Mufti issued a fatwa against him for installing a wax figure in London's Madame Tussauds Museum, as well as for attending a Hindu festival dedicated to the god Ganesha). He was arrested by the police several times: for a fatal traffic accident, for killing protected wild animals in a reserve and for illegal possession of weapons.
Salman Khan - Don Juan and brawler
The athletic macho is spoiled by female attention, but is not married. His first chosen one is considered to be Sangeeta Bijlani, an actress and model who received the title of “Miss India” in 1980. The actor's constant infidelities infuriated her and led to outbursts of jealousy, which often occurred in public. Once, at the same time, he descended to assault, slapping her in the face, which Film S magazine wrote about.
Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani
In 1992, 16-year-old Somi Ali became the girlfriend of the 27-year-old actor. She fell in love with him while living in Miami, and did a lot to achieve reciprocity. First of all, she moved to Mumbai, tried to break into Bollywood, became a fashion model, then, having become friends with the artist’s secretary, asked to put her portfolio on his desk. Salman was fascinated by the young model and broke off his relationship with Sangeeta.
He and Somi were together until 1999, when he fell in love with Aishwarya Rai on the set of the film “Forever Yours.” During their romance, stories surfaced about his affairs and misbehavior both with her and with Ali, whom he allegedly beat.

After breaking up with Salman, Somi returned to the United States, where she became a fashion designer and founder of the No More Tears foundation for victims of domestic tyranny. She denied any physical abuse from her ex-boyfriend, kept in touch with him and, according to him, inspired the creation of the charity Being Human.

The actor loves to travel, and of all the world's capitals he singles out London.
Willful and jealous
Julia doesn't like the fact that after breaking up with Katrina Kaif, Salman maintained a good relationship with her. He supported his former flame when she broke up with Ranbir Kapoor, and periodically recommends her to directors. Several media outlets have already reported that Mademoiselle Vantour is not happy about this. And that he regularly holds “educational” conversations with the actor about this.
Salman Khan reassures his lover. The public also believes that the girl has nothing to worry about. Not long ago, the actor was spotted in a jewelry store in Dubai, after which a ring appeared on Yulia’s finger. And Salman’s relatives openly declare that she has already become part of the family. Evidence of this, in particular, is the Instagram of Salman’s sister Alvira.
And recently, the Khan family was spotted at the airport in the company of Vantur. Salman's mother held Iulia's hand tightly as they were photographed by the paparazzi.
All indications are that Bollywood will soon lose its leading confirmed bachelor. ZEE TV Russia wishes the lovers happiness! And yet... we're a little sorry. And you?
