As Bollywood superstar Salman Khan gears up to celebrate his landmark 60th birthday on December 27, excitement is building among his family and legion of fans. The celebrations have kicked off early with a nostalgic throwback picture and a fun revelation about the actor's birthday essentials straight from his closest kin.
Mud-Splattered Throwback Features Star-Studded Trio
Adding to the pre-birthday buzz, Salman's brother-in-law and filmmaker, Atul Agnihotri, recently shared a memorable throwback picture on Instagram. The photo, taken at Salman's farmhouse, captures a joyous moment following an adventurous ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) ride. The image shows Salman Khan beaming alongside former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni and popular singer AP Dhillon, with all three celebrities covered in mud. An ATV is visible in the background, confirming the source of their muddy fun.
Agniotri captioned the post simply with "#throwback" and tagged the three stars. Fans were quick to flood the comments with love. One user wrote that the trio looked "unbeatable" even in the mud, calling their bond "legendary," while another remarked that this combination "wins hearts every time."
Family Members Reveal Salman's Birthday Must-Haves
In a new video posted on the official Instagram handle of Salman's clothing brand, Being Human, three family members disclosed what they believe are the non-negotiable elements for the actor's big day. The clip features his niece, actress Alizeh Agnihotri, and his nephews, Arhaan Khan and Nirvan Khan.
Alizeh listed the top three must-haves as "family, farm, and very less people," hinting at Salman's preference for an intimate, countryside celebration. Arhaan Khan echoed the importance of family but added two specific items: "biryani at the end of the night but from Galaxy" restaurant, and "Ayat"—a reference to Salman's niece who now shares the same birthday. Nirvan Khan's list also started with "the whole family," followed by "great music and too many controversies," perhaps a playful nod to the actor's eventful public life.
Fitness Goals and Upcoming Film Buzz
Not one to slow down, Salman Khan himself recently took to social media to share a couple of gym photos where he is seen flexing his muscles. In a caption that has since gone viral, the actor mused, "I wish i could look like this when i am 60! 6 days from now.." The post garnered reactions from several Bollywood colleagues, including Ashmit Patel, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Preity Zinta, and Farah Khan, who all praised his incredible physique.
On the professional front, all eyes are on the announcement of his next major project, the war epic "Battle of Galwan." Industry speculation is rife that the film's release date might be unveiled on his birthday. A source indicated that if plans align, the teaser could include the much-awaited release date, amplifying excitement for what is already one of Salman Khan's most anticipated films.
As the countdown to December 27 begins, the blend of nostalgic throwbacks, family insights, and future project teasers has set the perfect stage for Salman Khan's diamond jubilee celebration.
