The Mother-Son Relationship, Salma and Salman

Salman undoubtedly is very close to his mother Salma Khan. His bond with his family, especially with his mother has been very evident. Even when he was convicted with the hit and run case, all that he was worried about was the ill health of his mother, Salma Khan. Even though the actor faced various ups and downs in the industry, especially in the year 2002, when all his films were bombing at the box office and his popularity was diminishing, Salma Khan stood solid as a rock to bolster him during the hardship. In one of the interviews, Salman elaborated his love for his mother saying “I have my mother’s eyes though I grew up on my mother’s nerves. My mother can actually handle anything. Her tolerance for pain is substantial.” He also added “Like her, I think I have that quality of standing up, laughing and then standing up with a broken leg. She once fell down a number of stairs and we all got extremely worried that mummy had fallen. But can you imagine, we ran down and saw her laughing”.

Salman and Helen

In Bollywood, having a second family is quite common. But the kids from first marriage accepting the stepmother is quite commendable. Salman has always accepted Helen as one of his own and never resented her in any manner, although there was a little resistance in the starting. Salim Khan made a number of statements saying he has been lucky to have such harmony with both the ladies at home. He also said that the way his kids have accepted Helen as their step mother never fails to amaze him. Salim also said that even though like any normal family, they didn’t like it but eventually, Salman, like his mother, learned and realized that Helen was a good person and that she is pure at heart so he started accepting her as gracefully as he could. Salim said that despite the hostility, Salman understood that his father liked Helen, his mother liked Helen and eventually even he started liking her. Salim quoted that now, Salman would give his life for Helen. It was also interesting that Salim told in one of the interviews that whenever he buys anything for Salma, on occasions like mother’s day or any other event, he buys two of the same things, one for Salma and one for Helen. He feels gratified that the family is as thick as thieves and has accepted the family as their own.

Helen too has been immensely fond of Salman. She also happens to share a very strong bond with Salma Khan. She played Salman’s on-screen mother on “hum dil de chukeSanam” and had also played Salman’s mother in law on screen.

Salman Khan and Bollywood

The most beloved heartthrob of Bollywood is undeniably Salman Khan. The Prem of Bollywood is one of the most successful actors that Bollywood ever got. His nature, his attitude, and his personality are loved by one and all and there would be very few people who would disagree. Coming from a well-known filmy family, Salman’s tryst with Bollywood has been evident. The fan following that he has earned in his life is something that many people only dream of. He one of the most bankable actor today who has given the industry a number of smashing hits that break his own records at the Box Office. His journey Salman to being Salman, a brand has been quite an ordeal for him. Let us walk down the memory lane and revisit his life.

Salman found out that interests always were in script writing just like his father who had achieved success. But, destiny had something else in store for him. As he was blessed with extremely good looks, he took up modeling as a career. After he tasted success in his modeling career, he decided to try his luck as an actor and that’s what got us our Bhai of Bollywood.

Salman always believed in standing up for himself and carving a niche for himself without the help of his father’s successful career. He never used his father’s influence to land in Bollywood. Whatever he is today, it is because of his hard work and his talent. He used to go for screen tests and auditions when one fine day, he was noticed and given a small role in the film “Biwi ho toh Aisi” which marked his Bollywood debut in the year 1988. Although he started his career as a supporting actor, he got his big break when Sooraj Barjatya offered to cast him as the lead in the hit flick “Maine Pyar Kiya” alongside Bhagyashree. This film went on to become one of the biggest hits of the industry that year and Salman earned fame and applause. He was then flooded with offers. Salman was extremely touched by the love and acceptance that he was getting from his fans and he even wrote all his fans a letter stating his gratitude for them.

His next film in Bollywood was Bhaagi: a Rebel for Love in 1990 which was scripted by Khan himself. After his blockbuster acting debut, he went ahead to give the industry many hit films like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Saajan, Karan Arjun, Biwi No. 1, Judwaa, Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Hum Aapke HainKaon until 2000. He then started to be known for his larger than life characters. He eventually got to be known as Prem of Bollywood as he was named Prem in most of his movies.

Although he was emerging as one of the most successful actors of his time, it was the film Tere Naam that gave him the recognition as an intense actor in 2003. This film is said to have marked Salman as one of the finest actors in the industry and gave him much appreciation and credit. Tere Naam also marked Khan’s fashion statement and he went on to become the fashion icon of the youth for his iconic hairstyle that he sported in the film. The hairstyle became a huge craze among people and Salman got immense popularity after this film. After this extremely successful stint, he went to deliver even bigger hits like Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, Partner, and No Entry until 2004.

However, he had his own ups and downs in the industry as well. 2004 to 2008 was the worst phase of the actor as many of his movies failed to weave their magic in the Box Office. He had flops like Dil Ne Jise Apna Kha, Phir Milenge, Lucky, Jaan-E-Mann, Kyon ki, Baabul, Shaadi Karke Phans Gaya, Salaam-e-Ishq, God Tussi Great Ho, Marigold, Yuvraaj, London Dreams, Heroes, Main AurMrs. Khanna and Veer which didn’t work for him at all.

He never felt dejected and bounced back with a smashing come back in the year 2009 band there has been no stopping for Mr. Khan since then. His comeback as a blockbuster hero was marked by the film Wanted by Prabhu Deva which proved the mettle of Khan and his hard work had finally paid off. Being released on the auspicious occasion of Eid, It went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of that year and Salman was established as a blockbuster superstar. Wanted broke all the Box-Office records and his fans were left overwhelmed. A lot of producers and directors could bank on him. Since then, this superstar went ahead in life and delivered remarkable hits like Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ready, Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2, Jai Ho, Kick, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and his latest film Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. He worked hard to achieve that success and established himself as the most bankable actor today.

Post Wanted, all his films entered the prestigious 100 Crore films club and he enjoyed immense success and carved a niche for himself. His latest releases Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo were extremely successful and earned him a lot of appreciation for his talent as an actor. We now expect another blockbuster film from him every year for Eid. He has even entered the 2oo crore club with the 2014 flick, Kick. He is currently busy shooting for his upcoming release Sultan that is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and it is bound to be another blockbuster for Dabangg Khan.

He also enjoys a peculiar fan following for his fashion in films and for the steps that he is known for. There were a few iconic Salman steps that were a craze all over the nation. The towel dance in Oh Jaane Jaana is still loved by many. His dance moves and the iconic goggles in Dabangg had his fans going gaga over him. His dialogues are also one of the most famous ones from his movies. His dialogue “mere baare me itna mat sochna, maidil me aatahoon, samajh me nahin” and “mujhpeekehsaankarna ki mujh par koi ehsaan mat karna” were one of the most popular dialogues that he had. Salman Khan has a line of films up for release in the coming years. When you watch a Salman Khan film today, you will be filled with love and such is his power to rule over the audience’s heart. No wonder he garnered an immense fanfare for his work. We hope he keeps up his streak of blockbusters and entertains us for the rest of our lives.

Salman and his Love Life

Salman Khan is often in the news about his love life. The whole world went berserk when he confessed in a chat show “Koffee with Karan” hosted by Karan Johar that he was a virgin. Salman Khan has always been quite good in the department of ladies. Though he has had many ladies in his life, he has still not married and the whole world wants to know why. Let’s have a quick recap of some women that he has dated earlier.

Sangeeta Bijlani

Let’s get back to the period of 1980 where everyone would remember the gorgeous woman Sangeetha Bijlani who has just won the title of Miss India in the beauty pageant, 1980. Our Sallu Bhai was known to have been smitten by her. It is also known that Arpita Khan, Salman’s sister, played the role of the matchmaker between these two people. Salman and Sangeetha kicked it off as a couple and started dating from the 80’s. They painted the whole town red with their relationship. Their relationship eventually hit the rocks and the two eventually broke up. Salman was accused of infidelity. Sangeetha Bijlani went ahead in life and married the Cricketer Azharuddin. Unfortunately for her, her marriage with the cricketer hit the rough patch as well. It was Salman who came out in support of her. Sangeetha wants to make a comeback in Hindi cinema and Salman is helping her get on track. Salman and Sangeetha remain good friends even after the breakup. She is particularly close to his sister Arpita. Salman has told a lot of time about how Sangeetha helped him; she helped him loosen up when it came to dancing in his films. Sangeetha is close to Salman and his family even now.

Somy Ali

After Sangeetha Bijlani came into his life and left, it was Somy Ali who replaced that place in his heart. Somy Ali was a Pakistani Actress. They both are said to have met through common friends. It is said that they started dating from around 1993. They dated for a good eight years before calling it off in the year 2000. Somy Ali has told in one of the interviews about how she dreamt of marrying Salman after watching Maine Pyar Kiya, she immediately packed her bags and came to India. It was rumored that they broke up because she was subjected to physical violence by Salman, but she refuted the rumors. She said that Salman was very protective of her. She says that while Salman was never physically abusive, he did cheat on her with Aishwarya Rai. Putting the past behind, both the actors have maintained acordial relationship with each other. Salman supports the NGO that Somy Ali works for. He has recently donated an amount of 150,000 dollars to her organization, No More Tears when he found out that the organization was short of funds. It is a known fact that at times, the warmest friendship comes from a failed relationship.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

This is one of the most famous relationships of Bollywood. Salman and Aishwarya have often been in the news in the past and even now for their past relationship. Aishwarya stepped into Salman’s life during the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”. They were said to have started dating since 1999, during the shooting of this film. Aishwarya was crowned the Miss World in the beauty pageant back then. Aishwarya had managed to weave her magic on Salman with her beauty and grace. The whole world was happy for them and thought that Salman finally found the correct match and would settle in life. They were also touted as one of the best couples in Bollywood. But unfortunately, even this didn’t turn out to be the way people thought. In 2002, they had an ugly break up much to the dismay of their fans. Aishwarya said he was physically abusive to her and was harassing her.

Her family even went ahead and filed a complaint with the police. Back in 2002, Aishwarya spoke about this saying “Salman and I broke up last March but he is still not able to come to terms with it. After we broke up, he would call me and talk rubbish. He also suspected me of having affairs with my co-stars. I was linked up with everyone, from Abhishek Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan. There were times when Salman got physical with me, luckily without leaving any marks. And I would go to work as if nothing had happened. He tends to cause physical harm or injure himself when I don’t take his calls.” Aishwarya said that she took everything in her stride. The break up eventually came when she heard about Salman cheating on her. She says that Salman also indirectly confessed to her about the same. It is said that Salman recommended Aishwarya to many producers at that time. It was also said that Sanjay Bhansali signed Aishwarya for the film only because Salman insisted on it. It was said that there was a time when Salman kept banging the door of Aishwarya’s door very loudly to let him in a fit of fury. His anger knew no bounds. His hands eventually started bleeding and that’s when Aishwarya had to let him in. It is also rumored that he was trying to get the promise of marriage from Aishwarya, but since her career was catapulting, she wasn’t ready for it just yet. This came as a turning point in their relationship. It is also said that Salman rammed his car onto the pavement following the day after Aishwarya broke up with him, which led to a person losing his life.

It is also said that it all started on the sets of ChaltheChalthe, a film that Salman was producing back then. It had Shahrukh and Aishwarya as the main cast. Salman grew possessive about her and had a major fight on the sets of the film which might have gone physical. Shahrukh Khan is said to have intervened when Salman lost his cool and that’s when things started turning sour among them. Aishwarya lost out on the film and that since then, Salman, being alcoholic, starting physically abusing her and eventually things got haywire. After reading all these rumors about him being abusive, Salman also happened to say on the sets of his film “Tere Naam” that “I don’t need to go and explain anything to anyone. My family and people who know me know the truth. I don’t need to tell anyone what has been happening. But all these things said and written about me add up. I let it go as a part of life.”

After their relationship ended, Aishwarya and Salman have tried to never cross paths in their lives. Aishwarya married Abhishek Bachchan in 2007 and is the proud mother of her daughter Aradhya Bachchan. Salman still maintains the title of the most eligible bachelor. It has even been noted that, post their break-up they refused to cross paths with each other until recently when both Salman and Aishwarya came to the same awards function without making reasons about not coming along. It is also rumored that they met backstage but nobody is sure whether they acknowledged each other or not. Anyway, both of them are happy about their lives and have moved on for good.

Sneha Ullal

The whole world went berserk after the power couple Aishwarya and Salman went their separate ways. It came as a shocker to many when he launched Sneha Ullal who has an uncanny resemblance to Aishwarya Rai. Many people assumed that he launched the look alike of his ex-flame only to get over her. It is also rumored that he started dating Sneha Ullal. The trend of replacing his exes with look-alikesbegan in 2005 when he cast Sneha to play the lead alongside him in the movie “Lucky: No Time for Love”. There were rumors rife that she was given that role only because of her resemblance to his ex and that she was the dream girl that he wanted to replace Aishwarya.

Rumors mills also have it that Salman and Sneha dated over a brief period of time but even this relationship did not last for obvious reasons. It is said that this spark did not tend to last long with the 15-year-old actress who created quite a stir in the country back then. Sneha was spotted saying at a press conference that she and Salman never lost touch with each other and that he was always her godfather and meant a lot to her. She said that he is someone whom she owes her career to.

Salman being the man who burries his hatchet with the exes usually is also said to have done the same with Sneha Ullal. It is said that Salman was the man who re-launched Sneha Ullal in her second innings in Bollywood with “Bezuban Ishq” which unfortunately failed miserably at the box office. Yet, Salman and Sneha maintain their cordial friendship.

Katrina Kaif

After Aishwarya and Salman, another lady who made headlines for his love life is Katrina Kaif. When Katrina Kaif failed miserably at the Box Office with her Debut movie “Boom”, it was the superstar Dabangg Khan who took afancy to her and fell for her charm and beauty. He is a major reason for the success that she has now as an actor. Though they never came out in the open about their relationship, many people were already sure of them being together from the time she befriended Salman Khan. Though they never spoke about their personal lives, they always made headlines. Katrina starred alongside Khan in films like Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Partner, Yuvvraaj, Hello and Ek Tha Tiger. Salman also made aspecial appearance in her films like Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani and Tees Maar Khan.

It is said that even though Salman Khan had a number of affairs and relationships in his life, the breakup that hurt him most is with Katrina Kaif. It is known that Mr. Khan has expressed his love for the lady on several occasions. He is said to have accepted in public that they are together and that they didn’t separate. However, the six years of their love life turned sour when Salman got to his usual self and started imposing him on Katrina as well. He is known to have done that with Sangeetha and Aishwarya before. He is said to have imposed a lot of restrictions on Katrina Kaif that didn’t go down too well with the lady.

Ab aapnepakdahai Ranbir Kapoor… issebhineechejayengiaap? Issebhi young hero chahiye.” This left her quite frustrated and angry.

After her split with Salman, Katrina has reportedly found solace in Ranbir Kapoor, the heartthrob of the youth.

Katrina broke the headlines again in 2016 of her issues with Ranbir Kapoor and they both are said to have parted ways due to the swindling nature of Ranbir Kapoor. It was said that Katrina was looking for a commitment of marriage which Ranbir couldn’t give her.

He also went ahead and said “You (Katrina) are the strongest woman I know. She was 16 when she came here, worked hard and has reached this stage in her life. Entire India is crazy about you, including me”. This has again created a buzz in the industry. It is good to see exes in cordial terms with each other and taking a stand for each other.

Salman and his Tryst with Reality Shows

Salman Khan being such a commercial actor and has an immense fan following, it is not surprising that he was roped in to host a number of reality shows. Having such a great fan following, Salman is bound to be the reality king of Bollywood.

Dus Ka Dum

This reality show started in the year 2008. This television reality show was an Indian version of international game show Power of 10. This was hosted by Mr. Khan himself. It was hosted by Sony Entertainment Television and it is this show and Salman’s immense popularity that helped Sony TV regain the 3rd place in ratings.
Dus Ka Dum featured Salman Khan playing the game with many celebrities like Katrina Kaif, Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Amir Khan, Govinda and a lot more along with ordinary contestants. It was quite successful and went on to garner TRPs for two seasons.

Bigg Boss

Bigg Boss is another reality show that banks on the immense popularity of Salman Khan. It is a reality show where celebrities from all walks of life are made to live with each other confined to one room. It follows the format of Big Brother developed by Endemol. It was started in the year 2006 in Sony TV but eventually is being aired on Colors Entertainment Channel since 2008

Mr. Khan has been hosting this reality show from the year 2010 and had earlier hosted season 4. He is also currently hosting the 9th season. The major reason for the popularity is only the host and the way he deals with the contestants. Salman and Bigg Boss has been having a long association and wish to continue as well.

Salman and Controversies, Friends and Foes

When you have a superstar in the industry, it is almost impossible that you have no controversies that are surrounding the fame and popularity that the star had earned so far. And when it is the Bhai of Bollywood, we sure can expect firecrackers. Salman and controversies have never been far away. He has time and again been surrounded by various squabbles in his career. Let us glance through them once!

Legal Cases

Hit and Run Case

This infamous incident happened in the year of 2002 when Salman’s SUV rammed on to the people on the footpath in Bandra. One person was killed and others were gravely injured. He was then arrested by Mumbai Police and his blood samples were taken. However, he was granted bail.

Later that year, Mumbai Court charged him with a homicide. He was arrested again and was granted the bail again. In 2003, he then challenged the application of charges against him. The sessions court rejected his plea and asked Magistrate court to frame charges. After several pleas and rejection, the process continued for several years and Salman was made to circle the court steps various times.

In 2014, the Sessions court started the re-trial of Salman. His family driver then owned up the whole accident and the case was rested. However, Mumbai’s Session Court sentenced Salman to five years of imprisonment but eventually after his plea, he was acquitted of all charges and the whole country rejoiced. However, he earned lot flak for not getting punished even after evidence proved he was driving the car. It is still a mystery to who was driving the car and what exactly happened that night. A few people also went ahead to tell that he started the organization of Being Human only to save himself from the hit and run case.

Blackbuck Poaching Case

Yet another legal case that haunted Salman was the poaching of endangered species in 1998. Salman was accused of poaching three chinkaras and one black buck in Jodhpur around September-October 1998 during the shoot of his film ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’. The Forest Department then registered a case under the illegal use of his arms for hunting the animals. However, Khan said that he applied for a renewal of his weapons and hence wasn’t using them illegally.

The possession of illegal arms is no longer a problem to Khan. But, the poaching case is still being tried in the court. He was also sentenced a jail term for a year but eventually got a bail.

The Shahrukh-Salman Brawl

One of the most infamous fights in the history of Bollywood has been the Shah Rukh Khan and Salman’s fight in Katrina Kaif’s birthday party back in the year 2008. Salman and Shahrukh has always been one of the thickest friends in the film industry and have time and again proved that they have immense respect for each other right from the year of their release “Karan Arjun”.

The rumor mill has it that the whole incident started off from a long time ago. It is said that when Salman lost his cool on the sets of Chalthe Chalthe which was starring Aishwarya Rai and Shahrukh initially. Salman did not like the way Shahrukh was enjoying success with Aishwarya in tow and their pairing was gaining popularity. This irked Salman at a time when Salman’s career was going low. It is said that when Salman disrupted the sets of ChaltheChalthe and wanted Aishwarya to come with him leaving the sets, Shahrukh intervened and this angered Salman even more. Since then, there was some tension brewing between these two superstars.

But, the two superstars are known for maintaining camaraderie and were also seen in several movies doing guest appearances for each other. Having given the hit movie “Karan Arjun” together, they seemed to share a very good bond. It is said that even after the ugly incident on the sets of that movie, Salman and Shahrukh stayed thick. In the year 2007, Salman and his family also appeared as guests in Shah Rukh’s song in Om Shanthi Om. However, it was also said that Salman was pissed with SRK as he declined to do a special appearance in Salman’s movie given how many times Salman made a guest appearance on SRK’s movies.

While they had immense respect for each other time and again, then came this ugly night in 2008 which happened to be Katrina’s birthday bash and everyone was having a gala time. Before things went different directions between the two Khans, it is said that both of them were already high in the party. Salman started making nasty comments at how Shahrukh’s reality show ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain’ was doing terrible even with the start stature that SRK had. Shahrukh didn’t pay heed to his comments earlier but when it got beyond a point, he didn’t stay calm. This led to a verbal war of words among the two Khans which shocked the entire film fraternity that was there. It is said that Shahrukh retortedby commenting about Salman’s ex, Aishwarya Rai, as a joke, time and again that highly angered Salman. It is said that Gauri Khan and Aamir Khan that stopped the fight. After that tiff, both the Khans became rivals and were not in talking terms with each other.

Salman and Shahrukh had been at loggerheads with each other after that incident. Happy times for the two Khans came back again in the year 2011. Shahrukh had wished Salman a speedy recovery for Eid 2011 when he underwent a nerve surgery. Later in the year 2013, they hugged each other and gave warm wishes at an Iftaar party hosted by Siddique. This marked the fact that they buried their hatchet. Since then we can see how Shahrukh and Salman have regained their thick friendship and made aconstant effort to hang on with each other. They have promoted each other’s films at social platforms and have been good friends since then. Shahrukh also released Bhajrangi Bhaijaan’s poster and Salman promoted Dilwale. Happy times are back again!

Aamir-Salman

After Shahrukh and Salman had major fallout, it was Aamir who backed Salman and got close to him. Salman and Aamir have been inseparable ever since. Also, Aamir and Shahrukh weren’t in good terms either at that time which made Salman and Aamir even closer. We have seen how these two Khans were there for each other time and again and there is no denying that they share one of the truest and unified relationships with each other.

It is said that things took an ugly turn even here. It is speculated that Salman and Aamir might also have a major fall out. Reports claim that it all started when Aamir was insecure about Salman’s friendship with Shahrukh. It was also said that Aamir was insecure about Dangal with Salman’s Sultan which has a similar storyline. He also asked the makers to shift the release dates but they didn’t pay heed to it. So it was said that from then, Aamir wasn’t too happy with Salman. When Salman offered a special screening of Bhajrangi Bhaijaan, Aamir was found crying and was immensely moved by the movie. However, rumors have it that Aamir told that he was initially offered the role instead of Salman which irked Salman. Another rumor has it that Aamir criticized Salman for his selection of films and the choices he made in life which didn’t go too well with Salman. It is said that Salman left the party in a fury and Aamir was left teary eyed. We are not sure of any of these as the actors did not confirm to any of these.

What we know for sure is that Salman said in a recent interview that all the news about the tiff between him and his friend Aamir is not true at all and that nobody can fight with Aamir, ever. He also went ahead and told the media that Sultan and Dangal are two different things and you should not compare the two films at all. It was also known that Aamir Salman and Shahrukh had a facetime call right after they buried the hatchet. Well, we hear some good times ahead with the three Khans.

Salman-Vivek Oberoi Brawl

One ugly side of the industry has been the Vivek and Salman brawl. Vivek is less known as a Bollywood actor and more famous for being the third wheel between Aishwarya and Salman. It is said that Vivek and Aishwarya were dating back then, they didn’t confirm it,though after Aishwarya and Salman had an ugly spat and a breakup. Salman was already in a bad time with his break up and the hit and run case that was charged against him. He was in a bad shape back then, in 2003.

At this extremely sensitive time for Salman, what worsened the situation was the press conference that Vivek Oberoi called for. He claimed that he was getting threatening calls from Salman, This lead to his doom in the industry which followed a major setback for Vivek. It is said that Salman was the reason that one of the most promising actors failed to take off as no one was offering him movies even though he was talented.

It is also said that Vivek happened to apologize to the Dabangg Khan a number of times but he wouldn’t budge. Salman is known to give a cold shoulder to Vivek even now.

Salman- Sanjay

Salman Khan, on his way to stardom, has found one great and lovely friend in fellow Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt. Their friendship has been one of the purest of all. Time and again, it is said that Salman and Sanjay have been inseparable and love each other immensely. Together, they have given hit films like Chal Mere Bhai and others. They also had a great chemistry hosting the reality show Bigg Boss 5.

Their camaraderie is one example of strong solidarity. They have been friends for a long time and have had no qualms about showing mutual love and affection for each other. Sanju Baba is always protective of Salman Khan and also told in an interview that he wanted Salman to learn from his good side and not repeat the mistakes that Sanjay did. Salman also revealed that Sanju Baba almost convinced him to get married. One can understand how amicable and close they are to each other by this. They have always been there during each other’s thick and thin and never left each other’s side.

Salman was recently found saying that he is just waiting for Sanjay Bhai to complete his term in jail and come out soon so that they can party. Kudos to their friendship and the strong ties that they have made in this industry with each other!

With so many highs and lows in life and a number of friends and foes in the industry, we wish Salman Khan only the best!
