The Salman Khan Day: The megastar turns 51

Bollywood megastar Salman Khan turns 51 today. Currently at the very peak of his career, Salman continued his extraordinary run at the box office this year with Sultan – currently the year’s highest grosser. No other film through the entire year, until the release of Aamir Khan’s Dangal, had been able to collect even half of what Sultan did.

The actor who began his career with a supporting role in ‘Biwi Ho To Aisi’ went on to deliver the biggest blockbuster of the 80s in Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. Salman followed it up with yet another terrific decade, topping the 90s with ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ along with other hugely successful films like ’Karan Arjun’, ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’ and ‘Biwi No 1’.

While the 2000s was a lean patch, Salman did what very few actors have achieved. He came back stronger with films like ‘Wanted’, ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ready’, ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Kick’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ and ‘Sultan’. All films were blockbuster barring his fourth film with Sooraj Barjatya, which did well enough to cross the 200 crore mark.

2017 could well be the biggest year of his career, as Salman has two mega releases during two of the biggest weekends – Kabir Khan’s Tubelight during his favourite weekend Eid and Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai during the biggest weekend of the year Christmas. Both potential 300 crore plus grossers.

When it comes to sheer fan-following and the kind of craze that his films generate – from the biggest of cities to the smallest of villages – Salman is the benchmark of super-stardom. A man whose presence is bigger than the director, co-stars, script and the film itself.

Here’s wishing Salman Khan a very happy 51st birthday. We pray for his success and good health.

    Jab se Prem ki Maine Pyaar Kiya Dekhi tabse Sangdil Sanaam ko bhi is Saajan se Love hogaya. Yeh Kabhi Baaghi bana toh Kabhi Suryaavanshi Kabhi Veer toh Kabhi Veergati. Iss ke Garv ne humein Hum Saath Saath rehne ko sikhaya to kabhi Hum Aapke Hain ke Bandhan mein bandh diya. Woh Ek Tiger bhi hai Ek Bodyguard bhi Ek Dabangg bhi hai aur Sultan bhi. Aur kya kahoon iss Yuvraaj ko jisne humein Pyaar kiya Toh Darna kiya sikhlaya aur Tere Naam zindagi karna bataya. He is always Wanted by audience Kyon Ki he is the Karan of Jab Pyaar kisi se Hota Hai and Jeet. Chache Phir Milenge ya naa Milenge bus ek hi baat kehni God Tussi Great Ho ke tumne aisa Megastar banaya jiski kabhi failure mein No Entry ho naa koi kahe Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya ? Hum yahin chahe ke is Bhaijaan ki hamesha Jai Ho …. Jai Ho…. Jai Ho !!!!!!!!!

    Happy 50th Birthday Salman Bhaijaan, my inspiration, my hero, my idol …. Lots of blessings and love.

    May he celebrate his 100th Birthday as well. :-)

  • Hello Team Indicine,
    Not sure why you have not posted my earlier comment. I think my msg was clear and simple.
    Anyways its ur site.

  • Haddd ho gyi hai yr..indicine ap ne raees & kaabil k trailer review par to agly din article likh dia tha..mgr jolly llb 2 par abi tak kuch b ni likha..kamaal ho gya hai..shame up0n U…

  • @indicine

    Extremely disappointed with your very very late article. Last year the same article had been published midnight.

  • Many many happy returns of the day to our dear Bhaijaan , The Megastar, The people’s superstar , The Darling of the masses , the icon , the legend, sallu bhai, the dabaang Khan , the tiger of Bollywood , the sultan of Bollywood and so on.

    Salman Khan will go down in the history books as one of the greatest iconic superstars the Indian cinema has ever seen and would ever possibly see, people may or may not remember his movies but he would forever be remembered for his super stardom , the craze he commanded, the mass hysteria he created , the enigma that he would always be, the controversial bad boy image and the man with the golden heart imprint !

    A man with above average acting skills, constantly battling a highly controversial personal & professional life with a poor public image, a spoilt brat with bad attitude towards professional & personal life who had once seen the highest of highs (giving the highest grossers of the decade two times in a row) and then going through a career-threatening low and then rising like a iconic Phoenix from nowhere on his own and that too without any major help from anyone to become unarguably the greatest of the superstars the Bollywood has ever seen is a stuff of inspiring legend , life his larger -than-life movies if one were to make his biographical, it  would be larger than life too , the king size !

    The Superstar who overall owns more significant records to his name than some of the biggest ever names in Hindi cinema (on a lighter note , he also holds the record of giving the second highest number of flops and doing the maximum number of ‘A critic’s worst nightmare ‘ type of movies among his contemporaries ) , may you continue to entertain & enthrall us like you have been doing for years and in the process have as many records as possible to your name , once again wishing you a very happy B-Day , long live the legend, the icon , the megastar !

  • It’s your birthday.so share my true feelings about you salman.

    When I was a child 1st I watched your movie mpk.and then after that I watched some other movies,I marked just one thing who gave you chance to enter this industry.still AT 1ST LOOK OF KING KHAN,I became HIS FAN.

    But kudos to you,90% of actors failed to survive with the talent that you carries.because you’re the one who survived even doing non acting in movies after movies with out changing any expression.

    Truly hats off to you.you already becomes a big headache for real cine lovers.and the irony is how can a classic writer can give birth to you talentless non actor like you.

    And 90% of your movie is torture.let the movie stay awake,you alone is enough to become a toture.so we hope soon you’ll retire and will spare us from your mega tortures.and another irony thing is you’re a MEGASTAR even though you don’t know what is ACTING!!!!!

    Not only to you but also a grand salute your fans who is still left on this earth to near your torture.to them a grand salute.and interesting thing is they found your innocense only in every of your film which is actually you’re not in your real life.

    And happy birth day to you.please retire with out ruining BOLLYWOOD more and spare the peoples from your torture,thanks.

    Sorry salman fans,this is what some of your mate like @hrithik expected from WE SRKIANS and that’s why they bashed KING KHAN on HIS BIRTHDAY.

  • There are stars
    There are superstars
    There are two megastars

    Then

    There is THE GOD OF BOLLYWOOD

    The 1 and the only SALMAN KHAN

    The biggest star Bollywood has ever seen

    Happy wala Birthday SULTAN
    LOVE YOU BHAI

  • Oye Birthday , happy Salman Khan to you!

    @saif sheikh , 1:43 p.m , aaj bhai ka bday hei , seems like u are suffering from a severe brain ailment since your birth, don’t worry kid just contact any one of salman’s fans , u need not pay a single rupee for any medications or towards hospital bills, illaj ka saara karcha would be taken care of by us , jaake jaldi check up karwale bhai ke naam par and get treated , wish you the best of mental & physical healths.

    Before that just go get a burnol cream from a medical store and apply to the part that has burnt smelly black , all the best kiddy.

  • Happy birthday Salman Khan . He is above all actors ek changla actor peksha ek changla manus bana its suit him .

  • It’s already been 22 years and still you are recordless Khan in the industry and most important is you’re chasing KING KHAN’S BIGGEST OPENING during your prime MEGASTARDOM period.

    Still you spared for 8th time to be kicked your ass from the hands of KING KHAN in a clash due to YRF.

    So now nothing is bigger shame other than this.so it’s not too late,retire before your own fan will say you recordless and will slap your face with chappals like a beggar.my kind advise for you.

    and I don’t think so no other man in India could be a bigger sinner that you.

    Because the story involving your crime is not enough to describe.still some of them are

    Your fans are feeling proud that you crossed your cruzer over innocent men and killed them by becoming a murderer and then you put all of those charges on the head of your innocent driver when he was just not present at that accident place.

    and then you forced your costars when they knew that you’re not a real man,you beated and torture them.hence still you’re a virgin at the age of 51 and remain so forever.though you sometime feel like raped woman when go near to your bodyguards,rofl.

    And you also killed innocent black bucks and no shame to your fans they’ll feel any shame.a nd becomes a infamous endangered species killer.

    And then you cried like a widow of dangerous deshdrohi terrorist yakub Menon when he was going to be hanged and proved yourself a the no.1 criminal cum terrorist of India.

    Still your sins are uncountable.no doubt you’ll laid for this soon by Supreme Court after cheating with high Court by paying them.otherwise you’ll burn in hell forever.because deshdrohi,crimjnak,murderer,woman beater,endangered species killer like you should be eliminated for the sake of humanity and should be hanged.and before that your insane crazy fanbase should be eliminated so that this could try will be free from criminals,deshdrohis forever.
