Overview
- Sonam Khan posted on Instagram over the weekend to directly deny a decades‑old claim that she had an affair with Rajiv Rai during the 1989 film Tridev.
- She wrote that both she and Rajiv were seeing other people during the shoot, that Rajiv initially did not want her in the film, and that she received no director’s privilege while filming Tridev.
- Sonam said their romantic relationship began only after Tridev, and the two later married in 1991, separated in 2001, and finalised their divorce in 2016 after long legal proceedings.
- The post included a throwback clip of the Tridev song 'Oye Oye Tirchhi Topi Wale' and used first‑person detail to challenge decades of industry gossip about her casting and career boost.
- Sonam also expressed interest in returning to showbiz via OTT and digital projects, a move that could reshape public perception and precede renewed professional activity.
