In fact, there is also talk that he wants him to settle down with none other than his current Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur. The talk was rather loose until yesterday when it suddenly gained ground amidst speculation that the lovers have had a secret engagement.

However, when we decided to get it from the horse's mouth, Salim Khan insisted that he hasn't taken any such decision. “It’s Salman's choice – whenever he wants to marry or not marry. I have never influenced my children, neither have I approved their choice. This is a family that never insults anybody, leave aside giving them orders. It’s a big responsibility – kal ko shaadi mein gadbad ho jaaye toh aake mujhe bolenge ki aap hi ne kaha tha shaadi karne (laughs)."
But doesn't he want him to marry? He is 50. Salim Khan replied, "Nahi, nahi, aisa kuch nahi. He will marry when he wants to marry. You know today’s kids – they will marry according to their choice. Now, when I go for walks, people come to me and say, “Kara do abhi Salman ki shaadi.” And I say, "Abhi toh thodi der ho gayi, koi milegi nahin."

And it's Iulia Vantur whom he wants his son to tie the knot with. "Nahin, maine kisise bhi nahi kaha ki shaadi kar lo. Salman will marry who he wants to. Arbaaz married a girl of his own choice, Sohail married a girl of his choice, I married twice out of my own choice. So he will also do that. Jisse karna chahega, karega. It’s his choice. I leave it up to him.
It’s not just me. Parents should not insist on who their kids should marry. You raise them, you educate them so that they grow up and think for themselves and plan for themselves. And when they are grown up and think for themselves and bring a girl of their choice, then you can’t say no to that and you can’t impose your decision on them. Because then you’re contradicting all that you raised him to be. I shall accept his choice."

Has he told Salman at least light-heartedly that he should marry now, we asked? Pat came the reply: "No, kabhi mazaak mein bhi nahi. When any of the kids came to me and said they want to marry, I said okay. If I had said no, would they have not married? (laughs)."
