supporting role. He went on to play the leading role in Sooraj R. Barjatya's romantic family
drama Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), which become one of the highest-grossing Indian films at the
time.[36][37] It earned him his first nomination for a Best Actor at Filmfare along with a

Maine Pyar Kiya was dubbed in English as When Love Calls, in Spanish as Te Amo, and in
Telugu as Prema Paavuraalu.[39]

followed by three moderately successful films in 1991, Patthar Ke Phool, Sanam Bewafa,
and Kurbaan. The same year, Khan went on to co-star with Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit
for the romantic drama Saajan. [41]

In 1994, Khan appeared in Rajkumar Santoshi's Andaz Apna Apna, co-starring Aamir Khan.
At the time of its release, the film failed at the box office but has gained a cult status over the
years.[42] Later in the year he collaborated with director Sooraj Barjatya in the romance Hum
Aapke Hain Koun..! co-starring Madhuri Dixit. During the 1995 awards season, the film won
3 Filmfare Awards for Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress. It also won the National
Award for being the most popular film of the year.[43] Earning over ₹1.35 billion
(US$20 million) worldwide, the film became the biggest Bollywood hit of the year. It is one
of the films on Box Office India's list of "Biggest Blockbusters Ever in Hindi Cinema".[44] In
2006, it was still the fourth-highest ever grossing Bollywood film, according to Box Office
India.[45] In 1995 he starred in Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The
two played brothers who are reincarnated after being killed by family enemies. His role of
Karan earned him a nomination for the 1995 Filmfare Best Actor Award.[46]
In 1996, Khan performed in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's directional debut Khamoshi: The
Musical.[47] He also appeared in and Raj Kanwar's action hit Jeet.[48] He had two releases in
1997: Judwaa and Auzaar. The former was a comedy directed by David Dhawan where he
played a dual role of twins separated at birth.[citation needed]
Khan worked in five different films in 1998, his first release being the romantic comedy film
Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya opposite Kajol, one of the biggest commercial successes of that
year.[49] This was followed by the moderately successful drama Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai [50]
where Khan played a young man who has to take a child who claims to be his son, under his
custody. Khan's performance in the film earned favourable critical review.[51] He also had an
extended cameo in Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, for which he earned
a second Filmfare Award under the Best Supporting Actor category.[52]
In 1999, Khan starred in three films: Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United, Biwi No.1,[53]
and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam alongside Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan, which earned him
another Best Actor nomination at the Filmfare awards.[54] His performance in the film was
reviewed favourably, with Sharmila Telikum of Reddit noting, "Salman is endearing. He does
tend to ham in the dramatic scenes but looks very comfortable doing comedy and those
romantic scenes."[55]
In 2000, Khan appeared in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, which addressed the issue of
surrogate childbirth. In it, Khan played the role of a rich industrialist who hires a surrogate
mother after his wife becomes infertile.[56] Sukanya Verma of Reddit wrote that the film had
an absurd storyline, but also spontaneous performances from the cast, helping to minimise its
other flaws.[56] In 2002 he starred in the release Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam.[citation needed]
For Tere Naam, (2003) Taran Adarsh said of him, "Salman Khan is exceptional in a role that
fits him to the T. He breathes fire in sequences that demand uneasiness. But beneath the
tough exterior lies a vulnerable person and this facet in particular comes to the fore in the
latter reels. His emotional outbursts are splendid..."[57] Director Satish Kaushik considered
Khan's work in the film to be strong, saying of it, "Salman has given a great performance in
the film. He''s given an intense, unconventional performance. I believe this is the best
performance of Salman''s career so far."[58] He continued his career with comedies like
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) and No Entry (2005).[50][better source needed]
Khan started 2007 with the ensemble film Salaam E Ishq. He appeared in the Hollywood
movie, Marigold: An Adventure in India opposite American actress Ali Larter. The film told
the love story of an Indian man and an American woman.[59]
Khan hosted the second season of the game show 10 Ka Dum during 2009. According to a
2008 report from BizAsia UK, the show earned enough target ratings points (TRPs) for Sony
Entertainment Television to regain its third position in the Indian television ratings.[60]
He appeared in Wanted, directed by choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva. The film
received mixed reviews. Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama rated it 4 of 5 stars noting,
"WANTED rides on Salman Khan's star power. He may not be the best actor in town, but in a
film like WANTED, in a role that seems like an extension of his personality, you can't think
of anyone else enacting this role with flourish."[61] Raja Sen from Rediff gave a rating of 2/5
and said "The writing is both amateurish and crass, while the songs are plain hideous...Khan
might be having fun, but the fact a film like Wanted underscores is how badly Bollywood
needs a breed of younger leading men. And how the existing lot need roles that fit."[62]
He appeared in two other films that year, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and London Dreams.[citation

Khan's first release of 2010 was Anil Sharma's film Veer.[citation needed]
Khan in 2009
In his next film, Dabangg, Khan played the role of a fearless cop with comic effect in the
film.[citation needed] The film was noted by the Economic Times as being remarkable for its
commercial success, despite having an "accent on inanity..." and "...complete incoherence in
terms of plot and credibility."[63] The Times also noted industry experts attributed the
popularity of the film to Khan's presence, stating that they "ascribe its allure to the star
charisma of Salman Khan, who has managed to carry off the over-the-top articulation of
Chulbul Pandey with unbridled enthusiasm and zeal."[63]
Dabangg went on to win several awards, including the National Film Award for Best Popular
Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.[citation needed] It was later remade in Tamil and
Telugu.[citation needed] The film was produced by his brother Arbaaz Khan.[citation needed] It was
reported by the Hindustan Times that the film opened to full houses across the country.[64][65]
Khan received a Star Screen Award for Best Actor and a Stardust Award for Star of the
Year – Male for his performance.[citation needed] He was also nominated for his sixth Filmfare
Award for Best Actor.[citation needed] Anupama Chopra from NDTV wrote about his
performance: "It's the role of a lifetime and Salman Khan bites into it like a starving man
devours a feast. He inhabits it fully, strutting and swaggering and even, spoofing himself."[66]
Khan's first release of 2011 was Ready. Ready held a record for being the second highest
grossing Bollywood film of 2011.[67][68] He next appeared in Bodyguard, a remake of the
2010 Malayalam film of the same name. The film was not well received by critics, though it
became India's highest-earning film of the year.[69]

After a one-year gap, Khan's first release of 2014 was Jai Ho which he starred in opposite
Daisy Shah. His second release, Kick, a remake of a Telugu film has entered the Rs. 2 billion
club in India on Eid. He also sang the "Hangover" song from the movie.[74]
Khan's first film of 2015, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which was released on Eid, received positive
reviews from critics and the public and broke several box office records upon release. The
film, grossing ₹1.84 billion (US$27 million) on its first week beat the previous record of
PK.[75] This was Khan's first and the second Bollywood film after PK to enter the 300 club.[76]
The film is currently the second highest-grossing Bollywood film in India and worldwide
with a collection of over 6 billion.[77] Bajrangi Bhaijaan crossed 300 crore within 20 days of
its release and became the second highest grosser to date in India,[78][79] while his second film,
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, a Diwali release received mixed reviews from critics and the public
and broke several box office records upon release. The film became the ninth consecutive
film of Salman Khan to gross over 1 billion. The film grossed ₹1.73 billion (US$27 million)
on its first week. As of 25 November, the film collected ₹2.01 billion. With this, khan

billion (US$72 million) domestic net in a single year in India.[81][82][83][84]
Khan's first film of 2016, yet again another Eid release, Sultan, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar
for Yash Raj Films received positive reviews from both critics and the public breaking
several box office records. The film opened on an average of 70% audience occupancy[85] and
grossed approximately ₹365 million (US$5.3 million) on its opening day.[86] The film also
collected another ₹74.86 (US$1.10) on its first weekend, bringing its total first week
collections to an approximate of ₹2.08 billion (US$30 million).[87] By the end of its second
week, the film had grossed an estimated ₹2.78 billion (US$40 million)[88] and later became
the second film of Khan to net over 300 crores.[89] As of 9 August, the film grossed ₹5.83
billion (US$84 million) worldwide.[90]
In June 2017, Khan appeared in Tubelight, his third collaboration with Kabir Khan after Ek
Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. This film also starred Khan's real-life brother Sohail Khan.
Despite its high expectations, the film failed to maintain a strong run at the box office. Khan's
second release of 2017 Tiger Zinda Hai, a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger[91] grossed ₹190 crore
worldwide in its opening weekend.[92] As of 23 January 2018, the film has grossed ₹5.52

Mentor
Khan has mentored a number of aspiring Bollywood actors.[130] He has also been an
inspiration for some Bollywood actors like Hrithik Roshan and Arjun Kapoor to get into
perfect shape. Saawan Kumar Tak, the director of Sanam Bewafa, was helped by Khan as he
worked Saawan... The Love Season for free.[131]
Khan has recommended composers like Himesh Reshammiya and Sajid–Wajid. He supported
Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make Khamoshi: The Musical and then Hum Dil De Chuke
Sanam.[132][133] Actor Govinda' s career was rescued by Khan as he was offered a parallel role
in Partner. Similarly it was Khan who suggested Mohnish Bahl to Sooraj Barjatya for Maine
Pyar Kiya and later in Baaghi: A Rebel for Love after his stint as hero failed.[134] Bahl has
also done important roles in Salman's Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Hum Saath-Saath Hain and
recently Jai Ho.[citation needed] Similarly he was instrumental in getting Ravi Kishan the role in
Tere Naam.[citation needed]
Salman is now reportedly[according to whom?] mentoring Rinzing, son of Danny Denzongpa: Ali,
son of Raza Murad and Vaibhav Anand, the son of late Vijay Anand for their Bollywood
launches. Similarly Aditya Pancholi’ s son Sooraj Pancholi and Suneil Shetty’ s daughter
Athiya Shetty were launched by Salman in his production Hero.[135] He has also decided to

Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho since he lost many offers due to an injury that happened in the
CCL while playing. Salman has decided to mentor his longtime loyal bodyguard Shera's son

Khan has been involved in several charities during his career.[138] He has started an NGO
called Being Human which sells T-shirts and other products online and in stores. A portion of
the revenues go to a worthy cause supporting the underprivileged.[139] Being Human
Foundation is a registered charitable trust set up by Khan to help the underprivileged. In its
early days, Khan set up and funded the Foundation using his own money. The Foundation has
two focus areas: education and healthcare. To increase the reach and corpus of the
Foundation, Salman Khan has undertaken initiatives such as Being Human Art, Being Human
merchandise and Being Human Gitanjali Gold Coins.[140]
In 2011, he launched his own production company called SKBH Productions (Salman Khan

In January 2012, Khan offered to pay ₹4 million (US$58,000) to release about 400 prisoners
from about 63 prisons in the state of Uttar Pradesh via his NGO. The prisoners had completed
their terms, but due to economic reasons, they were unable to pay legal fines for their
charges.[141]
In July 2015, Khan offered to donate the profits of his most successful film Bajrangi Bhaijaan
among the poor farmers all over India. The film's producers Khan and Rockline Venkatesh
both have mutually decided to donate the profits of their film to them. The film's director
Kabir Khan and Salman's sister Alvira Agnihotri met Mahrashtra's Revenue Minister Eknath
Khadse to discuss the same.[142]
Khan met with his 11-year-old fan from Pakistan, Abdul Basit who had severe jaundice at the
time of his birth; he was diagnosed to have Criggler Najjar Syndrome and was admitted to the
Apollo Hospital, Delhi. The youngster wished to meet the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" star
Khan.[143][144][145][146][147][148]
Personal life
Khan resides in the Galaxy Apartments, Bandra, Mumbai. He also has a 150-acre plot in
Panvel which has 3 bungalows, a swimming pool and a gym.[1] Khan is a dedicated and
renowned bodybuilder.[1]
Khan never got married. His relationships have been of keen interest to the media and his
fans. In 1999, he began dating Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai; their relationship was often
reported in the media until the couple separated in 2001.
Khan started dating actress Katrina Kaif. After years of speculations, Kaif admitted in an
interview in 2011 that she had been in a serious relationship with Khan for several years, but
it ended in 2010.[149] Sangeeta Bijlani and Somy Ali were also in serious relationships with
Khan.[150]
In August 2011, Khan admitted that he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, a facial nerve
disorder commonly known as the "suicide disease". In an interview, he said that he has been
quietly suffering from it for the past seven years, but now the pain has become unbearable.
He said that it has even affected his voice, making it much harsher.[151]
Khan identifies as both Hindu and Muslim, commenting that, "I’m Hindu and Muslim both.
I’m Bharatiya (an Indian)".[152] He explained, "My father is Muslim and my mother is
Hindu".[153]
In the media
Khan was ranked seventh in Forbes's first global list of highest-paid actors in the world, with
earnings of US$33.5 million, which placed him higher than such Hollywood actors as Johnny
Depp, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Dwayne The Rock Johnson.[157][158][159][160] In 2015,
he was ranked ahead of US President Barack Obama in the list of The Most Admired
Personalities of India.[161] In September 2015, the International Business Times declared him
"The Most Attractive Personality" in India.[162] He also became the only actor to collect over
₹5.00 billion (US$72 million) domestic net in a single year in India.[81][82][83][84] Khan was
ranked the second "Most Googled Indian of 2015" and first among Bollywood actors.[163][164]
On 24 April 2016 the Indian Olympic Association appointed the actor as the Indian Olympic
contingent's goodwill ambassador for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[165] In August 2017, he
was identified as the ninth highest-paid actor in the world, and the second highest-paid in
India after Shah Rukh Khan, according to Forbes.[166]
Controversies
Hit-and-run case
On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into
a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died
and three others were injured in the accident.[167] Charges of culpable homicide were laid
against him, but later dropped.[168] On 24 July 2013, he was formally charged with culpable
homicide in the case, to which he pleaded not guilty.[citation needed]
On 6 May 2015, Khan was found guilty of all charges in the case. The Bombay Sessions
Court concluded that Khan was driving the car under the influence of alcohol, causing the
death of one and serious injury to four homeless persons. Sessions Judge DW Deshpande
convicted the actor for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and sentenced him to five
years in prison. Later in the same day, Khan, being represented by Senior Counsel Amit
Desai was granted bail by the Bombay High Court till 8 May 2015,[169][170][171] on which the
court suspended his prison sentence until the final appeal hearing in July.[172][173][174] His
driver Ashok Singh, who had given the testimony that it was himself who was driving the car
at the time of accident, was charged with perjury for misguiding the Court with false
testimony and was arrested.[175] The kidnapping and eventual death of prime witness Police
Constable Ravindra Patil remains a mystery, with some suspecting the involvement of
organised crime.[176][177][178][179] In December 2015, Khan was acquitted of all charges from
this case due to lack of evidence.[180][181] The Supreme Court on Tuesday 5 July 2016
admitted a plea by the Maharashtra government that challenged the acquittal of Salman Khan
in this hit-and-run case by the Bombay High Court. The court refused to fast-track the
case.[182]
His relationship with actress Aishwarya Rai was a well publicised topic in the Indian
media.[183] After their break-up in March 2002, Rai accused him of harassing her. She
claimed that Khan had not been able to come to terms with their break-up and was hounding
her; her parents lodged a complaint against him.[184] In 2005, news outlets released what was
said to be an illicit copy of a mobile phone call recorded in 2001 by the Mumbai police. It
appeared to be a call in which he threatened Rai, in an effort to force her to appear at social
events held by Mumbai crime figures. The call featured boasts of connections to organised
crime and derogatory comments about other actors. However, the alleged tape was tested in
the government's Forensic lab in Chandigarh, which concluded that it was fake.[185][186]
The case involves the alleged killing of a deer when Khan and his co-stars – Saif Ali Khan,
Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Tabu — were filming the movie Hum Saath-Saath Hain in the
forests near Jodhpur in 1998.[187][188] In 2007, Salman spent a week in Jodhpur jail before the
court granted him bail. In addition to the accusations of poaching of endangered antelopes
under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, a case under sections 3/25 and 3/27 of the Arms Act was
filed against Khan for allegedly keeping and using firearms with an expired licence.[189]
On 17 February 2006, Khan was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting Chinkara, an
endangered species. The sentence was stayed by a higher court on appeal.[190]
On 10 April 2006, Khan was handed a five-year jail term and remanded to Jodhpur jail until
13 April when he was granted bail.[191] On 24 July 2012, Rajasthan High Court finalised
charges against Khan and his other colleagues in the endangered blackbuck killing case,
paving way for the start of the trial.[192] On 9 July 2014, the Supreme Court issued a notice to
Khan on Rajasthan government's plea challenging the High Court order suspending his
conviction.[193] Khan was acquitted in the blackbuck and chinkara poaching cases by the
Rajasthan High Court on 24 July 2016.[194]
On 18 October 2016 the Rajasthan Government decided to approach the Supreme Court to
challenge Khan's acquittal in two related cases.[195]
On 18 January 2017 Khan was acquitted by a Jodhpur court in an Arms Act case linked to the
killing of a blackbuck in Rajasthan. Khan pleaded "not guilty" to charges of violating the law
by keeping unlicensed weapons and using them. Acquitting the actor, the court said that the
prosecution failed to submit enough evidence against him.[189][196]
On 5 April 2018, Jodhpur court[197] convicted Khan in the blackbuck poaching case and
sentenced him to five years imprisonment, while acquitting Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre,
Neelam and Tabu.[19][20]
On 25 July 2015, Khan made a number of tweets from his Twitter account in support of the
1993 Bombay bombings accused Yakub Memon. Memon was scheduled to be executed,
before which Khan made his tweets.[203] Khan said that Yakub's brother, Tiger Memon should
be hanged instead. He also asked the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif to confirm
"whether the mob boss is in his country."[204] The tweets sparked protests outside his house
where police had to be deployed, and was criticised in the social media and by his father,
Salim Khan. Following these incidents, Khan withdrew his tweets and apologised.[205]
