As Bollywood superstar Salman Khan approaches his landmark 60th birthday on December 27, a nostalgic and playful photograph has set social media ablaze. The viral picture, shared by his brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri, offers a rare glimpse of the actor enjoying a carefree moment with two other Indian icons.
Farmhouse Fun: A Mud-Splashed Trio of Legends
The snapshot, captured at Salman Khan's sprawling farmhouse in Panvel, features the actor alongside cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Punjabi music sensation AP Dhillon. Stripped of their usual celebrity aura, the trio is seen covered in mud, sharing hearty smiles and relaxed camaraderie. Dhoni stands on the left, AP Dhillon is in the centre, and Salman Khan is on the right, all with their arms casually draped around each other's shoulders. The image perfectly captures the essence of a fun, easy-going afternoon among friends, transcending their famed domains of cinema, sports, and music.
Family Spills the Beans on Birthday Bash Plans
With the big day drawing near, Salman Khan's family members have started revealing what his ideal birthday celebration looks like. In a clip from Being Human, his niece Alizeh Agnihotri emphasised that for Salman, it's all about "family, farm and very less people." Adding to the details, Arhaan Khan mentioned "family, biryani at the end of the night but from Galaxy, has to be from Galaxy, and Ayat", noting that Ayat now shares the same birthday. Nirvan Khan chimed in with a humorous wish list: "the whole family," "Great music and too many controversies."
Salman himself joined the pre-birthday chatter through a gym selfie, captioning it, "I wish i could look like this when i am 60! 6 days from now.." His friends quickly piled on with compliments, with Ashmit Patel writing, "You’ll be looking like this even when you’re 70," and Farah Khan simply commenting, "Kookingggg."
Fan Frenzy and Upcoming Project
The throwback picture triggered a massive wave of reactions from fans across platforms. One fan exclaimed, "The legends Salman Khan and Mahendra Singh Dhoni in one frame", while another aptly noted, "Bhai log mud mein bhi unbeatable lag rahe! Salman bhai, Mahi, AP – yeh bond legendary hai."
On the professional front, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next cinematic venture. The actor will be seen in the film 'Battle of Galwan', which is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia. This project is already generating significant buzz among his massive fanbase, who are eager to see him back on the big screen in a powerful role.
