Salman Khan marked Salim Khan’s 91st birthday with a post that felt both playful and deeply affectionate, giving fans a rare glimpse into one of Bollywood’s most enduring father-son bonds. Early on Thursday, October 15, the actor shared a set of warm pictures with his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, and paired them with a caption that instantly grabbed attention for its wit and warmth.
In the photos, Salman and Salim are seen posing in cowboy hats, with the younger Khan hugging his father from behind in one frame and sitting beside him, holding his hand, in another. The visual mood was intimate and relaxed, but it was Salman’s caption that turned the birthday post into a talking point.

The line quickly stood out for the way it mixed humour, pride and gratitude in Salman’s signature style. More than a celebrity birthday post, it read like a personal tribute to the man Salman has often credited for shaping his values and outlook.
