The city of Mumbai erupted in celebration as Bollywood icon Salman Khan marked his 60th birthday, proving that for “Bhaijaan,” age is truly just a number. In a rare and spectacular tribute, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link was illuminated with a glowing message that read, “Happy 60th Birthday, Salman Khan,” turning the iconic bridge into a massive public billboard that dominated the city’s skyline at midnight.
While the city lights signaled his stardom, the superstar himself retreated to his Panvel farmhouse for a high-profile yet intimate celebration. Surrounded by his inner circle, Salman was seen cutting multiple cakes with his family, including parents Salim and Salma Khan, and siblings Arbaaz, Arpita, and Alvira.
The guest list was a testament to his three-decade legacy, featuring a mix of film legends and sports icons:
- The Industry: Sanjay Dutt, Tabu, Randeep Hooda, Tabu, and Genelia Deshmukh.
- The Sporting World: Cricket legend MS Dhoni was spotted celebrating alongside the actor.
- The Next Gen: Nephews Nirvaan and Arhaan Khan were in attendance, along with Salman’s former partner, Sangeeta Bijlani.
In a characteristic move, the actor stepped outside the farmhouse gates just after midnight to celebrate with the media and paparazzi, sharing slices of cake and posing for photographs.
The “Battle of Galwan” Gift
Beyond the celebrations, the day marked a significant professional milestone. Rumors of a “return gift” for fans were confirmed as buzz intensified around his upcoming patriotic drama, “Battle Of Galwan.” Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film sees Salman portraying a military officer inspired by real-life heroes.
Sources indicate that the first-look teaser for the film is slated for release on December 27 between 2 PM and 4 PM, designed to showcase the scale and intensity of what is being called a major comeback for the superstar.
Legacy in Motion
Turning 60 puts Salman in elite company, following fellow “Khans” Aamir and Shah Rukh who hit the milestone earlier this year. With his recent cameo in Aryan Khan’s The Ba**ds of Bollywood and the success of Sikandar earlier in the year, Salman’s career continues to show unprecedented longevity.
“He kept saying he can’t believe he is 60,” a guest at the party revealed.”But looking at his recent fitness photos and his energy tonight, it’s clear he’s ready for the next decade of action.”
