I don't see that as a win. If a guy beats me up ,leaves me with bruises and calls my parents names, I wouldn't merely want to get him off my back,I would want to make him pay. Whether I can or not is a different matter. It depends on who I am,how influential I am ,and a host of things like that. I would want to try but whether circumstances permit me or not is a different thing. And my point was that she ,to me ,seems like the one who would want to try. I never said she should have pursued it. I said she would have. Had things been different. Do you think she'd have let it go if Oberoi had abused her instead of Salman? I doubt it.
Ofcourse Salman wouldn't have gotten out of it . Just like he did with the black buck thing or the guy on the pavement. Yes the laws are vague and nothing comes out of it for the most part ,verdict wise. There wouldn't have been any 'justice' . But that's not the point. Had she pursued it,there would have been a hearing. He would have had to appear in court. There would have been some press,even if there was an injunction against covering it. Salman would have been remembered for being a part of this case too along with the other ones. But it was pretty much swept under the rug. There's a middleground between being glad to get rid of him and him actually being punished for it.
Every victim of violence wants to take it as far as possible but most of them choose not to because they don't have the means to get into it. Rai was privileged. She had money. She had clout. It was a 'high profile' case as they call it. She had the wherewithal to do it without letting the drama affecting her career. But she couldnt ,because it was him-is what I'm trying to say. Had it been another actor in his place ,someone who wasn't a thug ,someone who didn't have underworld connections,I feel she' d have pursued it and talked about it in the press. Underneath that delicate Miss World persona she strikes me as someone who doesn't let go easily. And imagine having to see your husband being chums with your abuser ! Hardly any 'moving on' there ,considering there's never been any apology or acknowledgement from Salman. It was a compromise and it was a smart move in many ways. But ...
Aish moved on, married in a good family.. and is enjoying her family life. That is victory in its own right.. you don't really have to put someone in jail or take revenge publicly to get back dear.. there are other ways. While Salman is single and still known for his abusive ways (I think he was very obsessed with Aish - he got Sneha Ullal has sort of looked like her.. which is a bit disturbing tbh - imagine after years what was going on in his head)
Even in divorce cases, even if one party is in the wrong - its always best to part amicably with mutual consent... it saves everyone a lot of time, money and mudslinging.. with media involved it can get messy and may be Aish may have not gained much but in fact would have lost more. Salman was already on a downward spiral at the time..
Salman accused Shah Rukh of having an affair with Aishwarya. However, Salim Khan denies this charge. "Nobody has seen what happened that day. These are mere rumours which are not substantiated by facts," he says.
Was it a mere coincidence that Salman rammed his Toyota Land Cruiser onto the pavement in suburban Bandra just a day after Aishwarya made her break-up public in the Times of India interview? A person lost his life in the accident, and later Salman had to go to jail for his crime.
