Salman Khan Spills the Beans on His Parents’ Marriage: Turns Out Religion Wasn’t the Issue—Dad’s Drama Was

Gather around, my fellow Bollywood buffs, as I, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, unravel the latest tidbits from the bustling lanes of Tinseltown! 🎬 Lights, camera, and a whole lot of action coming your way!

So, what has our dear Salman Khan been up to lately? Besides charming the socks off his fans, he’s been neck-deep in promoting his upcoming flick, "Sikandar." But what’s really making the headlines is not his film, but a little family tale he shared about his parents, Salim and Salma Khan. And no, folks, the drama wasn’t about religion, as you might have guessed. The real issue? Salim Khan’s profession in the film industry! 🎥

According to Salman, back in the day, the family of his mother, Salma (née Sushila Charak), had their doubts about Salim’s career choice. You see, the film industry wasn’t always seen as the glittering goldmine it is today. But as time would tell, Salim Khan’s immense success silenced all the skeptics. Talk about a plot twist worthy of a Bollywood script! 😉

A Flashback to 1964
Let’s set our time machines to 1964, shall we? This was the year when scriptwriter Salim Khan tied the knot with Sushila Charak, a Marathi Hindu, who embraced Islam and became Salma Khan. It didn’t stop there; Salim also married actress Helen, a Christian, making the Khan family a beautiful mosaic of faiths. And the interfaith union theme runs strong in the Khan household, with Salman’s siblings following suit. Ah, Bollywood, where love knows no bounds—or faiths!

Spotlight on Sikandar
But enough about family tales, let’s talk movies! "Sikandar" is set to hit the screens on March 30, with A.R. Murugadoss, the magician behind "Ghajini," at the helm. With Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna leading the charge, and talents like Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar in the mix, you’d better book your tickets fast before they’re all gone! 🎟️

Nisha’s Nutshell
Bollywood Lesson #101: In the end, it doesn’t matter if you’re Hindu, Muslim, or Martian. If Bollywood beckons, you answer. And if success follows, well, all those family squabbles? Poof, gone with the wind!
