The Khan family of Bollywood witnessed a remarkable double celebration on November 18, 2025, as veteran screenwriter Salim Khan and his first wife Salma Khan commemorated their 61st wedding anniversary, while their daughter Arpita Khan Sharma and son-in-law Aayush Sharma marked their 11th marriage milestone.
A Night of Double Celebrations
Family members and close friends gathered for an intimate yet grand celebration that brought together multiple generations of the famous Khan-daan. The event was particularly significant as it showcased the family's unique dynamics and strong bonds despite complex relationships.
Salim Khan's second wife, veteran actress Helen, graced the occasion with her presence, demonstrating the family's remarkable unity and acceptance. Her attendance at the celebration alongside Salma Khan highlighted the extraordinary harmony within the household.
Star-Studded Family Gathering
The celebration saw attendance from virtually every member of the prominent Bollywood family. Salman Khan looked dapper in a casual black t-shirt and jeans as he posed for numerous family photographs. His brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan were also present with their families.
Arbaaz Khan's wife Sshura Khan, who recently became a mother, was spotted at the party, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Sohail Khan's son Nirvan Khan shared a cherished family photo on his social media accounts, giving fans a glimpse into the private celebration.
Sweet Celebrations and Heartwarming Moments
The anniversary party featured exquisite desserts that perfectly captured the dual nature of the celebration. A magnificent macaroon tower and two elegantly decorated white cakes with blue piping and floral detailing served as the centerpiece of the sweet celebrations.
One cake bore the initials 'A A' for Arpita and Aayush, while the other featured 'S S' for Salim and Salma. The cakes were adorned with appropriate anniversary markers - number 61 for Salim and Salma Khan, and number 11 for Arpita and Aayush Sharma.
Heartwarming videos from the event showed family members surrounding Salma Khan as she cut the cake with her husband Salim Khan. In another sweet moment, Arpita Khan was seen feeding cake to her husband Aayush Sharma, symbolizing their eleven years of togetherness.
Notable Absence and Social Media Presence
While most family members were present, Salman Khan's rumored girlfriend, Romanian singer and model Iulia Vantur, missed the celebrations. However, she expressed her warm wishes through social media, posting: "Happy anniversary to our dear Salma & Salim Uncle ❤️❤️ @arpitakhansharma & @aaysharma ❤️❤️ May u always be guided by love and compassion, may your unity be blessed with endless happiness I wish I was there but I'll celebrate u v soon ❤️❤️."
Arpita Khan Sharma actively shared and reposted numerous glimpses from the celebration on her social media handles, allowing fans to participate in the family's joyous occasion virtually.
The celebration not only marked significant marital milestones but also showcased the Khan family's ability to maintain strong, loving relationships despite the complexities of modern family dynamics. The presence of both Salma Khan and Helen at the same event, along with all the children, demonstrated a remarkable example of family unity in the often-turbulent world of Bollywood.
