Iulia Vantur, Salman Khan’s rumored girlfriend, recently walked the ramp alongside Shilpa Shetty Kundra, but a viral video from the event shows an awkward moment where Iulia was pushed aside to make way for Shilpa.
Salman Khan and Iulia have been linked for quite some time, although Salman has kept their relationship private. Despite this, Iulia is often seen with his family, hinting at a deeper connection. While Iulia tries to make her own mark in the entertainment industry, she does so without overt support from Salman.
Iulia displayed grace at the recent fashion event despite being moved aside on the ramp.
Dressed in a stunning grey lehenga with intricate embellishments, paired with a heavy choker and glamorous makeup, Iulia looked radiant. Shilpa Shetty, on the other hand, donned a striking dual-toned saree with a halter-neck blouse, completing her look with subtle makeup and open hair.
In the viral video, Iulia initially walked in the center, flanked by the designer and Shilpa.
However, the designer appeared to insist that Shilpa take the middle spot. While Shilpa hesitated to comply, not wanting to appear rude, Iulia was eventually pushed aside by the designer to accommodate Shilpa. Iulia’s discomfort was visible as her face fell, but she gracefully composed herself and even bowed in a traditional ‘namaskar’ gesture. Meanwhile, the designer seemed unapologetic.

In 2024, Iulia celebrated her 44th birthday with a grand bash hosted by Salman Khan’s family. Pictures from the event, shared by Salman’s brother-in-law, Atul Agnihotri, showed Iulia dressed in a metallic gown, celebrating with close family members including Arpita Khan and Alvira Agnihotri.
Although Iulia has kept her relationship with Salman under wraps, she has spoken highly of him in past interviews. In 2022, she mentioned that working with Salman was an honor and a learning experience. However, she emphasized her desire to carve out her own identity, noting that people in India are still getting to know her.
What do you think of Iulia’s graceful handling of the situation on the ramp?
