Salman Khan is, arguably, among one of the most celebrated superstars that Bollywood has ever produced. Other than housefull theatres during his film releases, fans make it a point to shower a lot of love by gathering in a huge number outside his Galaxy Apartments in Bandra. This year, however, things are going to be different in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic but that hasn't stopped all the Bhiajaan fans from celebrating his big day on social media. On Salman's 55th birthday, here's presenting a list of unknown facts in regards to his personal and professional lives.
1. Every year Salman Khan’s birthday is brought in at his family farm in Panvel. Salman hates cutting cakes on his birthday. Since the family insists on the cake-cutting ceremony he makes one of his nephews do the needful. There is a clamour among Salman’s nephews as to who will cut the cake for ‘Chachu’.
2. Salman’s brother Sohail’s sons Nirvaan and Arhaan are very close to Salman. In fact, they’re as attached to their ‘Chachu’ Salman as they are to their own father. Nirvaan already has plans of becoming an actor. He seeks his Chachu’s advice and guidance regularly.
3. Salman Khan hates any kind of physical contact with anyone except his two Moms Salma and Helen. Even friends get a very tentative hug. Brothers Arbaaz, Sohail and Salman never cuddle up or snuggle together. Salman is plainly and simply shy of physical intimacy.
4. Makes friends for life but also makes enemies for a lifetime….Or so he says. Doesn’t suffer backstabbers easily. However, most of the other ‘lifelong enemies’ gradually turn into friends and are known to wriggle their way back into Salman’s favour. Himesh Reshammiya and Subhash Ghai are prime examples.
5. Best friends are (producer) Sajid Nadiadwala, (London-based singer) Kamaal Khan and currently, director Ali Abbas Zafar the director of Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
6. Favourite current heroines: Katrina Kaif and Jacqueline Fernandez.
7. Is currently off-alcohol. Doesn’t touch a drop. Preparing to play Chulbul Pandey in Dabangg 4 which his brother Arbaaz will produce. But Prabhudheva won't direct.
8. In spite of being the most successful star of Indian cinema Salman lives in a 3-bedroom apartment in Bandra Mumbai with his parents. He won’t move out because he can’t live without his parents.
9. Also, he won’t kiss his heroines and won’t do villainous roles.
10. Here is what Salman WILL do in 2021: another film with Katrina Kaif. He has promised her that. And as we know Bhai ek baar commitment kar leta hai toh woh khud ki bhi nahi sunta. Amen .
