Reports suggest Salman Khan and Iulia Vantur first met around 2011–2012, during one of Salman’s trips to Europe. Over later years, Iulia became a familiar face at Salman’s gatherings in Mumbai. Iulia has regularly appeared at Khan family celebrations and events, which kept relationship rumours active.

Iulia has repeatedly addressed this speculation when speaking to the media. In an interview with Mid-Day, Iulia clarified, "He is a very good friend… We are very good friends. More than that, what can I say?" Iulia has also mentioned in other chats that people overanalyse labels.

Iulia has said the focus should remain on positive energy and the right timing in life instead of gossip. Her presence at Cannes 2026 with Echoes Of Us places attention back on Iulia’s work. The festival outing highlights her ongoing professional links with India while personal rumours continue separately.
