Salman Khan at 60: Six Decades, One Superstar, and a Legacy That Still Rules Bollywood

Today, December 27, 2025, Salman Khan turns 60, but his stardom remains as vibrant as ever. Having ruled Bollywood for over three decades, Salman is not just an actor, but a name that has become synonymous with an era.

From his debut as a romantic hero in Maine Pyar Kiya, Salman has left his mark in every genre, from Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Karan Arjun, and Biwi No. 1 to Dabangg, Ek Tha Tiger, Sultan, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Whether it was the innocent character of Prem or the desi Dabangg avatar of Chulbul Pandey, Salman has consistently captivated audiences.

Salman's legacy extends beyond his films. He has mentored and guided the careers of many artists. From helping Katrina Kaif establish a strong foothold in the industry to launching Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg, Salman has played a significant role in promoting new talent. He is considered a star in the industry who opens doors for others.

Through Bigg Boss on television, Salman has made Bigg Boss a household name. His style, dialogues, and outspokenness make him just as popular on the small screen as he is on the big screen. Salman is perhaps one of the few Bollywood stars who is both loved and judged the most. He has always been in the media spotlight, sometimes for praise, sometimes for controversies. But this very paradox makes him even more interesting. He is a superstar with whom people connect, debate, but cannot ignore.

Even at 60, Salman Khan remains a face that Bollywood will find difficult to replace. His impact, his craze, and his presence still prove that Bhaijaan's legacy is still going strong. Many happy returns of the day, Salman Khan.
