Superstar Salman Khan has shared a photograph of his mother Salma with his newborn nephew Ahil.

The "Dabangg" star took to Twitter on Monday night to share the image, where his mother Salma is seen putting baby Ahil to sleep on her lap.

"Salma Nani and Nanha Ahil," Salman captioned the photograph. Ahil is the first son of Salman's youngest sister Arpita, who married Aayush Sharma in November 2014. She gave birth to her son on March 30.

On the work front, Salman is gearing up for his next film "Sultan", where he will be seen essaying the role of a wrestler, for which he has gained some weight.
