Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, in a resurfaced interview from 2019 with Komal Nahta, has shed light on why his son, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, remains unmarried at the age of 58. Known for his high-profile relationships with actresses like Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif, Salman’s personal life has often been a topic of speculation and intrigue.
Salim Khan candidly discussed Salman’s reluctance to tie the knot, attributing it to his son’s hesitance rather than a lack of relationships. “He easily enters into relationships, but he lacks the courage to get married,” Salim Khan remarked in Hindi. He further elaborated on Salman’s expectations from a life partner, stating, “He wants the woman he marries to be dedicated to her husband and children, just like his mother was. She should cook meals for the children, help them get ready, and ensure their homework is done. However, this is not easy in today’s times.”
Salman Khan, a prominent figure in Bollywood known for his roles in blockbuster films, has been romantically linked with several actresses over the years. His relationships with Aishwarya Rai and Katrina Kaif garnered immense media attention, while his bond with Sangeeta Bijlani, whom he nearly married, remains notable in Bollywood circles. Pakistani actress Somy Ali was also a significant part of Salman’s life early on, although their relationship reportedly ended due to Salman’s drinking habits and possessive behavior.
Currently, speculation surrounds Salman’s relationship with Romanian actor and model Iulia Vantur, rumored to be his current girlfriend. Despite these relationships, Salman has not taken the plunge into marriage, a decision Salim Khan attributes to his son’s desire for a traditional family structure similar to the one he experienced growing up.
The resurfaced interview has sparked varied reactions on social media, with some users questioning traditional gender roles and others expressing skepticism towards Salman’s stated preferences for a life partner.
Salman Khan continues to be a prominent figure in Bollywood, known for his philanthropy as well as his contributions to Indian cinema. His personal life, often under scrutiny, remains a topic of fascination for fans and media alike.
