Sangeeta Bijlani receives a special Christmas gift from former beau Salman Khan

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani recently shared a glimpse of a heartfelt Christmas gift from her ex-boyfriend, Salman Khan.

Known to maintain a cordial relationship post-breakup, Salman’s thoughtful gesture reflected the mutual respect and affection they continue to share.

On Thursday, Sangeeta took to her Instagram Stories to post a video showing a gift box she received from Salman’s clothing brand, Being Human. The box contained a Christmas card, chocolates and other goodies. In the post, she tagged the ‘Tiger 3′ actor. The video was set to Andy Williams’ classic song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”

In a follow-up post, Sangeeta wrote, “It’s that time of the year again! Salman Khan’s birthday or as his fans would say #bhaikabudday. The man who inspires millions across the globe. Help make his birthday unforgettable!”

Sangeeta and Salman reportedly started dating in 1986 and shared a serious relationship that lasted for eight years. Their bond was so strong that they even planned to get married, 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, Somy Ali revealed, “The wedding cards were printed, but Sangeeta caught Salman red-handed in my apartment. What Salman did to Sangeeta, the same thing happened to me. This is called karma; when I grew up a bit, I understood the.”

Sangeeta Bijlani, crowned Miss India in 1980, rose to fame as a model and actress in the 1980s and 1990s, gaining recognition for her roles in films such as Tridev and Yodha.

Last year, Sangeeta launched her YouTube channel, Sangeeta’s Secrets.

Talking about it, she said, “Through this beautiful journey of life, I have learned to be happy, healthy and stress-free. I want to share all that I have learned with my followers and take them through my experiences, whether is fitness, beauty – what I call inner beauty – spirituality or general health and well-being.”
