Salman Khan is without a doubt one of Bollywood’s biggest stars. Today, December 27, the actor known as Bollywood’s ‘Bhaijaan’ will celebrate his 57th birthday. This year, the Tiger 3 star is celebrating his birthday with family and a few close friends, as he always does. When it comes to Salman Khan’s acting career, the superstar is completely booked, with several high-profile projects in the works.
With the 1988 release of Biwi Ho to Aisi, the superstar made his acting debut. Later, in 1989, he made his acting debut in the film Maine Pyar Kiya, directed by Sooraj Bharjatya.With megahits like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun? Karan Arjun, and others, Salman Khan established himself as one of Hindi cinema’s most sought-after stars. He established himself as an actor with films such as Khamoshi: The Musical and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Salman rose to stardom with the blockbuster film Wanted, which was followed by mega-hits such as Dabangg and Bhajrangi Bhaijaan.
Salman Khan is portrayed as an aspiring, talented young man in this photograph, which was taken on the sets of Maine Pyar Kiya. With his outstanding performance, the film’s massive success gave birth to a new romantic hero in Hindi cinema. This is still one of the best performances by a newcomer in Bollywood history.
Back-to-back box office hits, along with a few flops, established the actor as one of the country’s most bankable stars. However, he was still regarded as a minor star in comparison to the film’s leading lady, Madhuri Dixit Nene, at the time.
Among the major commercial potboilers, Salman Khan appeared in significant films that became cult classics over time, such as Khamoshi: The Musical and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Both films, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, were well received by critics and audiences alike. However, it is Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam that has gained global acclaim for its excellent storytelling, stellar music score, and impeccable chemistry between Salman and leading lady Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan’s Being Human initiative, founded in 2017, has received a lot of love from the public. The NGO primarily serves the underprivileged in India through education and healthcare. The majority of the organization’s funding comes from the sale of Being Human brand merchandise, primarily clothing.
With many back-to-back box office hits, including commercial entertainers like Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, and others, the superstar successfully established his own genre of films, which are fondly called ‘Salman Khan brand of films’ by the masses. However, the much-loved Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which premiered in theatres in 2015, reintroduced the actor we had all missed for a while.
Salman Khan is now known as Bollywood’s beloved Bhaijaan, having not only established a highly successful acting career but also emerged as a television audience favourite as the face of the Bigg Boss show. He also works as a film producer through his own company, Salman Khan Films, which finances both his films and other smaller projects.
