Salman Khan celebrates 60th birthday with stars

Salman Khan is one of the biggest superstars in Indian cinema and has enjoyed strong popularity in the Telugu states since the days of “Maine Pyar Kiya” (1989), which was dubbed into Telugu as “Prema Paavuralu” and went on to become a massive success. Over the decades, he has built an unmatched fan base that cuts across regions and generations.

The mass star turned 60 today and marked the milestone with a cozy celebration at his farmhouse near Mumbai.

The party saw close friends in attendance, with cricket icon MS Dhoni posing alongside Salman and Sanjay Dutt adding a touch of old-school charm. Adding to the festive mood, the Bandra–Worli Sea Link was illuminated with giant “Happy Birthday Salman Khan” projections, while fans thronged theatres for special screenings of his popular films like “Bajrangi Bhaijaan.”

From his early romantic blockbuster “Maine Pyar Kiya” to mass action hits such as “Wanted” and “Dabangg”, Salman Khan has delivered several record-breaking successes at the box office. Despite his recent films not living up to expectations, his star power remains intact. He continues to be the highest-paid host on television with Bigg Boss and commands enormous reach among audiences.

Beyond films and television, Salman is known for his charitable initiatives through the Being Human foundation. He has also made his presence felt in Telugu cinema by playing a key role in Megastar Chiranjeevi’s “Godfather.”

As birthday wishes poured in from peers and fans alike, the buzz around his upcoming war drama “Battle of Galwan” once again highlighted Salman Khan’s enduring appeal.
