Bollywood megastar Salman Khan ushered in his 60th birthday with a grand, star-studded celebration at his sprawling farmhouse in Panvel. The intimate yet lavish gathering brought together his immediate family, closest friends, and a select group of industry insiders to mark this significant milestone.
Star-Studded Guest List and a Cricketing Legend
The high-profile guest list was a testament to Salman Khan's wide-reaching influence, featuring none other than former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni arrived at the festivities with his wife, Sakshi, and daughter, Ziva, adding a touch of sporting royalty to the Bollywood affair. Viral photos and videos captured the cricketer's arrival, where he smiled warmly at the fan frenzy his presence generated.
Inside the venue, Dhoni, dressed in a sharp all-black ensemble accented with a yellow jacket, was seen sharing a cheerful moment with the birthday boy. Pictures of their reunion quickly made their way online, showing both icons smiling for the cameras alongside other attendees.
An Emotional Family Affair
At the heart of the celebration was Salman Khan's family. The actor marked his special day surrounded by his parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces. A particularly touching moment was captured on video when Salman, showing deep respect, placed the cake-cutting knife in his father Salim Khan's hand. With his mother, Salma Khan, looking on with a proud smile, and his brother Sohail assisting their father, the family collectively cut a large white chocolate and strawberry cake as guests sang 'Happy Birthday'.
Heartfelt Wishes Pour In From Bollywood
Throughout the day, numerous Bollywood celebrities took to social media to extend their wishes to the superstar. New mother Katrina Kaif shared a special post, calling him "Tiger" and writing, "Happiest 60th birthday to the superhuman that you are. May every day be full of love and light."
His long-time bodyguard, Shera, penned an emotional note, stating, "I've walked beside you through countless ups and downs... That's why you're not just a star, you're the biggest superstar." Actor Anil Kapoor welcomed his friend to the "60s club," reminiscing about their enduring friendship that remains strong whether they are working together or not.
In a fitting tribute to the actor's patriotic image, the makers of the upcoming film 'Battle of Galwan' chose his birthday to unveil the film's teaser. The movie is based on the deadly hand-to-hand combat between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley on June 15, 2020, a clash that claimed the lives of 20 Indian soldiers.
