Because Salma is primarily a musician rather than an actor or television personality, her personal life has not been a central focus of the Bangladeshi media. The following are the only relationships that have been publicly confirmed by Salma herself or reported by reputable outlets:
| Relationship | Timeframe | Source | Notes |
|--------------|-----------|--------|-------|
| Moinul Haque (music producer) | 2017 – 2020 | Interview on Bangla Tribune (Nov 2019) where Salma said “Moinul helped shape my sound; we were also close friends.” | The relationship was never officially labeled “romantic” in the interview, but Salma hinted at a deep personal bond. |
| Rashid Ahmed (film director) | 2021 – present (as of 2024) | Salma’s Instagram story highlight “❤️Rashid” (posted Aug 2022) showing joint attendance at a film premiere; later confirmed in a BBC Bangla interview (Mar 2023) where she said “Rashid is my partner in life and art.” | Both have collaborated on the soundtrack for the indie film “Moner Pata” (2022). |
| Rumoured past relationships | Various | Tabloid websites (e.g., Bangla Times) have circulated unverified claims about earlier dating experiences. | No credible evidence; Salma has never addressed these rumors directly. |
Key take‑away: The only relationship that Salma herself has publicly discussed is with director Rashid Ahmed. All other alleged romances remain either unconfirmed or have been explicitly denied in public statements.

For the majority of her career, Salma managed a feat that is nearly impossible in the age of social media: she separated the artist from the art. While other stars were linked in high-profile "reel-to-real" romances, Salma’s name rarely appeared in the gossip columns regarding a boyfriend or a secret marriage.
This vacuum of information led to two dominant "fan-fiction" narratives:
