Salman Khan has long been one of the most discussed bachelors in the country, and the question of marriage has followed him through every phase of his career. Over the years, he has answered it with humour, logic, honesty, and sometimes quiet reflection, with each response revealing a different layer of his personality.

At times, he has addressed the topic playfully, pointing out that marriage first requires the right partner. At other moments, he has been practical, admitting that his demanding work schedule leaves little room for the time and patience a relationship deserves. He has openly said that even when he is home, he can be difficult to live with, a statement that reflects rare self-awareness.

There have also been occasions when his tone turned philosophical. He shared that while he would welcome marriage if it happened, he had also made peace with the idea that it might not. In one particularly introspective moment, he spoke about a relationship that once mattered deeply but eventually faded. He chose to let the person go, believing that holding on would only bring unhappiness and guilt. This acceptance marked a mature understanding of love and freedom.

When conversations shifted toward the idea of having children, Salman remained non-committal, responding with his trademark calm that such things happen when the time is right. His humour often softened these moments, turning potentially intrusive questions into laughter-filled exchanges.

Despite remaining unmarried, Salman Khan is known for his caring nature, especially toward those close to him. Colleagues and co-stars have often spoken about his support during difficult times. From being just a phone call away during the pandemic to offering comfort even after long gaps in contact, his presence has been steady and reassuring.

What truly sets him apart is his bond with children. Around kids, his tough exterior melts away. He becomes playful, patient, and deeply affectionate. Instances of him dancing with differently abled children or quietly comforting a restless child during an interview reveal a side rarely associated with his larger-than-life image. He remains unruffled by chaos, smiling through pulled hair, interruptions, and spontaneous affection.

Those who have observed him closely often say that his ease with children comes from the fact that he still carries a childlike spirit himself. Mischievous, curious, and impulsive, he navigates life with a blend of innocence and experience. This quality perhaps explains why many around him feel protected and at ease despite his intimidating stardom.

Salman Khan has also faced serious health challenges, living for years with severe pain caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia. Yet, even in the face of life-threatening surgery, he maintained his humour and resilience, emerging stronger and returning to the screen with renewed energy.

At sixty, Salman Khan continues to surprise. He remains single, yet emotionally rich, guarded yet generous, intense yet gentle. Whether marriage eventually finds him or not, his life reflects connection, compassion, and a deep understanding of human relationships, proving that commitment can exist in many forms beyond tradition.

Salman Khan became a household name after Maine Pyaar Kiya but his entry into films happened a year earlier with the 1988 release Biwi Ho Toh Aisi. The film marked the directorial debut of J K Bihari who unknowingly launched a future superstar purely on instinct and belief.

A Scene from the movie Biwi Ho To Aisi

Bihari, who had earlier assisted legendary filmmaker K Asif on Love And God and later worked closely with producer K C Bokadia, says Salman’s innocence and natural way of speaking stood out instantly. According to him, Sooraj Barjatya only needed to see that sincerity to take a leap of faith which eventually reshaped Hindi cinema.

Biwi Ho Toh Aisi starred Rekha in the lead role, a casting that many believed was impossible for a first time director. Bihari recalls approaching Rekha directly with the subject and explaining that it was the title role. Despite her usual reluctance to work with debut directors, Rekha agreed after learning about his association with K Asif. The film was completed and released within six months, defying industry doubts.

Salman Khan was cast without an audition. Bihari remembers seeing a young man walking near his office with a file in hand and deciding instantly that he was right for the role of Rekha’s brother in law. At that time, he did not even know that Salman was Salim Khan’s son. There were no auditions or vanity vans in those days, and even senior actors worked with minimal comforts.

During the shoot, Salman was inexperienced but eager to learn. Rekha and Farooque Shaikh supported him on set, helping him grow into the role. While working on the film, Salman signed a three film contract with Bihari. When he was later offered Maine Pyaar Kiya, the makers asked him to obtain a no objection certificate. Recognising the opportunity, Bihari tore up the contract himself, encouraging Salman to move ahead.

Biwi Ho Toh Aisi went on to become a hit, performing especially well in smaller centres and enjoying long runs in several regions. Even today, audiences continue to enjoy the film on television.

Years later, Bihari met Salman again at Mehboob Studio where Salman was shooting with Aamir Khan. On seeing his first director, Salman immediately walked up to him, hugged him warmly and introduced him to Aamir Khan as the man who launched his career. The two spent hours reminiscing and discussing future possibilities.

Bihari later faced professional setbacks and health challenges which slowed his filmmaking journey. However, he remains hopeful of collaborating again, possibly to support his son’s directorial ambitions, bringing the story full circle.

From working in a studio canteen to assisting K Asif and eventually launching one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, J K Bihari’s journey reflects the unpredictable yet magical nature of the film industry, where instinct, timing and generosity can change lives forever.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has approached the Delhi High Court seeking legal protection of his personality rights. His petition is scheduled for hearing on Thursday before Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora.

In his plea, Khan has asked the court to restrain various social media networks and e-commerce platforms from using his name, photographs, likeness or any aspect of his persona without authorisation. He argues that such misuse violates his publicity and personality rights.

Personality rights, also known as publicity rights, allow individuals—particularly public figures—to control, safeguard and commercially benefit from the use of their name, image or likeness.

Khan is the latest in a growing list of celebrities who have sought similar protections. Recently, the Delhi High Court granted interim relief to several well-known figures, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, filmmaker Karan Johar, singer Kumar Sanu, actor Akkineni Nagarjuna, ‘Art of Living’ founder Ravi Shankar, journalist Sudhir Chaudhary and podcaster Raj Shamani.

Telugu actor NTR Junior has also filed a petition before the court seeking protection of his personality rights, and an order on his plea is still pending.

The transport department seized seven luxury cars on Sunday night, including a Rolls-Royce that was registered in Amitabh Bachchan’s name in 2019. Officials from the transportation department stated they performed a special drive near UB city and seized these fancy cars for allegedly not paying taxes. According to one of the officials, other reasons for detaining the automobiles include a lack of adequate documentation and insurance.

“The person who was driving the Rolls-Royce car was one Salman Khan from Vasant Nagar,” stated Additional Transport Commissioner Narendra Holkar. He lacked the necessary vehicle documentation. He did, however, show a letter signed by Bachchan in which he stated that the vehicle had been sold to him. All seven vehicles have been parked at the RTO in Nelamangala.

Actors Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif resumed shooting for their upcoming outing Tiger 3 on Thursday. The actors are up for a physically challenging shoot that will push their bodies to the limit.

The shooting is taking place at the YRF Studios in Mumbai.

“The new schedule of Tiger 3 has started today in Yash Raj Films Studios. It is a closely guarded set and one can expect no picture to leak from here. Salman and Katrina’s fitness will be tested in this schedule as well as the extensive overseas schedule that is set to start from mid-August,” a source said.

The source added, “Salman teased his physique in Tiger 3 on his social media and it is evident that he is building the best body that he has ever showcased on screen. Katrina, on the other hand, has been keeping an extremely low profile with hardly any revelation of how good she is looking currently. There’s a reason for this also. She has worked like a beast to be her fittest best and people will have to wait to see her fittest best on-screen when Tiger 3 is set to release.”

Looks like Salman Khan and Katrina are set for some breath-taking action sequences.

“It will be intense for these two actors because director Maneesh Sharma has planned some jaw-dropping and hugely risky action sequences that will truly test their overall fitness levels when they start their overseas schedule. Of course, Salman and Katrina are game for it and ready for any challenges to be thrown at them. It will be a fun schedule,” the source further said, teasing what’s in store for the movie buffs.

For the unversed, Tiger 3 is the third film in the successful Ek Tha Tiger franchise. Actor Emraan Hashmi will play the role of a villain in the upcoming movie. A few days ago, he had also shared a picture of his chiselled physique, hinting that it’s his new look for Tiger 3.
