The man, the myth, the legend—Salman Khan—officially entered the "Senior Citizen Club" on December 27th, but if you think he is slowing down, think again. From the Bandra-Worli Sea Link lighting up in his honor to a star-studded bash at Panvel that went on till sunrise, Bhai’s 60th was nothing short of a festival!
The "Sea Link" Tribute: Mumbai Turns into Galaxy Apartments
We have seen crowds outside Galaxy Apartments, but this year, the city went a step further. In a first-of-its-kind tribute, the iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link was illuminated with the message "Happy Birthday Bhai," turning the Mumbai skyline into a glowing greeting card. Salman, visibly touched by the gesture, took to social media to thank his millions of fans, writing: "Thank u for all your love n good wishes means a lot god bless u all vit health n happiness."
Inside the Panvel Bash: Chef Salman & Captain Cool!
While the city celebrated, the real party was at Salman’s Panvel farmhouse. The guest list was a mix of family, Bollywood A-listers, and cricket royalty.
Captain Cool in the House: Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni (with wife Sakshi) was spotted chilling with the birthday boy, proving that legends attract legends.
Chef Bhai: The highlight of the night? Salman turning chef! A viral video shared by Genelia Deshmukh shows Salman personally making his "special bhel" for her and Riteish Deshmukh. Genelia captioned it "BhaauuNcii bhel," and honestly, we need the recipe ASAP!
The Gang: Tabu, Randeep Hooda, and the entire "Khan-daan" (Arbaaz, Sohail, Arpita) were present to cut the massive 4-tier cake.
The Return Gift: 'Battle of Galwan' Breaks the Internet
Of course, it wouldn't be a Salman Khan birthday without a return gift for the fans. The teaser for his upcoming war drama, Battle of Galwan, dropped on his birthday, and it has already sparked a massive debate. The shot of a lone Salman facing a sea of enemies has netizens comparing him to Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. While trolls are calling it a "copy," fans are calling it "Bhai’s Aura." Either way, with a release date set for April 17, 2026, the hype is real!
Verdict: Shah Rukh and Aamir turned 60 before him, but Salman Khan has proven once again that when the "Tiger" roars, the entire jungle stops to listen. Happy 60th, Bhai!
