Who Was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love?
Well, if media reports are to be believed, Sanjay Leela Bhansali was supposed to get married to his longtime love, Indian choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant. The filmmaker first met Vaibhavi on the sets of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam – a film that won millions of hearts for its in-depth story, and the excellent dancing on ‘Dholi Taaro Dhol Baaje’. Their bond grew stronger after Bhansali brought her onboard during the shoot of Saawariya. Followed by public appearances made together, the two were often doubted to be a couple, even though they themselves never spoke about it.
Why Bhansali’s Marriage Plan FAILED?
Years after the speculation of them dating, it was noted from insiders that SLB and Vaibhavi Merchant were planning to tie the knots of forever, in 2008. Preparations for the wedding were in full swing, but something that just did not sit well, led to the end of it. While it had been reported by several sources of media outlets that Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Vaibhavi Merchant were engaged, it was still broken and the marriage never took place as the two decided to part their ways with mutual consent.
According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, unresolved personal differences between Sanjay Bhansali and Vaibhavi were the reason behind the cancellation of their potential marriage plans. While they never really opened up about their bond in any public interactions, the incomplete love story between SLB and Vaibhavi Merchant is a connection that holds a special place in the hearts of their fans! Through the roles he creates, he has the remarkable talent of transforming ordinary individuals into cinematic icons.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the OG artist behind incomplete tales of love, heartbreaks. From Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam to Padmaavat, from Devdas to Gangubai Kathiawadi – the number of cinematic masterpieces remain endless. As he turns another year older – let’s wish the iconic filmmaker with enormous happiness and well-wishes.
