Salman Khan’s heartfelt post for Sanjay Dutt sparks nostalgia among fans; says 'I love you Baba'

<p>Film producer Shailendra Singh, who is known to be friends with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, has recently shared an unusual anecdote about the actor. Singh recalled an incident when Khan underwent a hair treatment while casually eating biryani and chatting with him at Khan’s home in Galaxy apartments.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Singh appeared on Cyrus Broacha’s podcast and said that the incident took place years ago at Salman’s home in Galaxy apartments during a get-together on a Monday night.&nbsp;</p><h2>Salman’s unusual hair treatment</h2><p>According to Shailendra, Salman had a peculiar habit of eating while facing a mirror, often carrying on conversations through his reflection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“I went to Salman for a meeting at his place in Galaxy Apartments. In those days, we used to have Monday night parties. He was sitting at the dining table, eating, and looking at himself in the mirror. He likes to eat while looking in the mirror. There’s a small table in the kitchen with a mirror in front, so you’re sitting next to him, but you’re actually talking through the mirror.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Singh recalled that this became surreal when a man walked in carrying medical equipment.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“He’s sitting there eating biryani—you know Salman, he enjoys his food, especially after a few drinks. Suddenly, this strange-looking guy walks in, puts on gloves, takes out a needle and starts injecting his scalp. I’m watching all of this in the mirror and thinking, ‘What the f* is going on here?'”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When the producer asked Salman what was happening, the actor nonchalantly replied, “There’s a price to pay to be a star, bro.”&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/the-alliance-salman-khan-steps-in-to-support-his-brother-sohail-after-seema-sajdeh-s-exit-1785389511851">The Alliance: Salman Khan steps in to support Sohail after Seema's exit</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“He kept eating while the treatment continued,” Singh recalled.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The producer explained that he learnt later that Salman was undergoing a PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, a procedure that uses a person’s own plasma to stimulate hair growth.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“At that time, I didn’t know what it was. I think everyone does it now—Hrithik does it, everybody does it. As you grow older and your hair starts thinning, you have to do these things.”</p><h2>Shailendra Singh on his long friendship with Salman</h2><p>Singh and Khan have been known to be old friends. Earlier in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the producer had revealed that he had known Salman before he became a Bollywood superstar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to Shailendra Singh, their friendship dates back to his days in Cuffe Parade, where Salman would often visit to meet his then-girlfriend, Shaheen Jaffery. He described the actor as “all heart” but said the people around him had changed over the years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Salman and I go back to Cuffe Parade, where I used to live. He used to come there to meet his first girlfriend, Shaaheen Jaffery. Salman’s problem is that he is all heart. He’s an awesome guy, but the company he keeps is strange,” Shailendra remarked.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/sonam-it-s-done-bro-don-t-extend-this-salman-khan-now-urges-protesting-students-to-go-home-offers-wangchuk-home-cooked-food-to-end-fast-1784818106607">'Sonam, it’s done, bro. Don’t extend this': Salman Khan now urges protesting students to go home, offers Wangchuk home cooked food to end fast</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The producer felt that stardom changed Salman. “Salman is a tiger, but now he’s tamed. He was born a tiger in the jungle; now he’s a tiger in a zoo. Success makes you cautious, even fearful. Then people surround you, constantly telling you that you’re the boss and everyone else is wrong.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Singh, who has produced films like <i>Pyaar Mein Kabhie Kabhie, Phir Milenge, Makdee</i>, also admitted that his friendship with Salman soured in later years.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Our friendship was very strong, so I went to him and said I wanted to make this film with him—a full-fledged commercial project. But when I went to meet him, he had called several people into the meeting. That was my last meeting with Salman.

Salman Khan's old friend, producer Shailendra Singh, has recalled an unusual incident involving the actor. Singh appeared on Cyrus Broacha's podcast and recalled how Salman Khan underwent hair treatment while eating a plate of biryani. 

Film producer Shailendra Singh, who is known to be friends with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, has recently shared an unusual anecdote about the actor. Singh recalled an incident when Khan underwent a hair treatment while casually eating biryani and chatting with him at Khan’s home in Galaxy apartments. Singh appeared on Cyrus Broacha’s podcast and said that the incident took place years ago at Salman’s home in Galaxy apartments during a get-together on a Monday night. Salman’s unusual hair treatment According to Shailendra, Salman had a peculiar habit of eating while facing a mirror, often carrying on conversations through his reflection. “I went to Salman for a meeting at his place in Galaxy Apartments. In those days, we used to have Monday night parties. He was sitting at the dining table, eating, and looking at himself in the mirror. He likes to eat while looking in the mirror. There’s a small table in the kitchen with a mirror in front, so you’re sitting next to him, but you’re actually talking through the mirror.” Singh recalled that this became surreal when a man walked in carrying medical equipment. “He’s sitting there eating biryani—you know Salman, he enjoys his food, especially after a few drinks. Suddenly, this strange-looking guy walks in, puts on gloves, takes out a needle and starts injecting his scalp. I’m watching all of this in the mirror and thinking, ‘What the f* is going on here?'” When the producer asked Salman what was happening, the actor nonchalantly replied, “There’s a price to pay to be a star, bro.” Also read: The Alliance: Salman Khan steps in to support Sohail after Seema's exit “He kept eating while the treatment continued,” Singh recalled. The producer explained that he learnt later that Salman was undergoing a PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, a procedure that uses a person’s own plasma to stimulate hair growth. “At that time, I didn’t know what it was. I think everyone does it now—Hrithik does it, everybody does it. As you grow older and your hair starts thinning, you have to do these things.” Shailendra Singh on his long friendship with Salman Singh and Khan have been known to be old friends. Earlier in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the producer had revealed that he had known Salman before he became a Bollywood superstar. According to Shailendra Singh, their friendship dates back to his days in Cuffe Parade, where Salman would often visit to meet his then-girlfriend, Shaheen Jaffery. He described the actor as “all heart” but said the people around him had changed over the years. “Salman and I go back to Cuffe Parade, where I used to live. He used to come there to meet his first girlfriend, Shaaheen Jaffery. Salman’s problem is that he is all heart. He’s an awesome guy, but the company he keeps is strange,” Shailendra remarked.

He was born a tiger in the jungle; now he’s a tiger in a zoo. Success makes you cautious, even fearful. Then people surround you, constantly telling you that you’re the boss and everyone else is wrong.” Singh, who has produced films like Pyaar Mein Kabhie Kabhie, Phir Milenge, Makdee, also admitted that his friendship with Salman soured in later years. “Our friendship was very strong, so I went to him and said I wanted to make this film with him—a full-fledged commercial project. But when I went to meet him, he had called several people into the meeting. That was my last meeting with Salman. I felt deeply insulted,” Shailendra Singh said. He claimed he had wanted to discuss the project with Salman privately, but the actor insisted the conversation happen in front of everyone. Singh felt Salman had treated their friendship too casually, and that meeting turned out to be the last time they saw each other.

The new building will come up in Bandra's Chimbai area, a short distance from Salman’s present residence, Galaxy Apartments, where he has lived since 1974. Media reports state that the plot on which the building will be constructed is registered in the name of Salman's mother, Salma Khan. Earlier, the plot had a two-storey house, which was constructed in 1956. However, the building was demolished a few years back when it became structurally unsafe.

The proposed building will have a total built-up area of around 1,014 square metres and will be developed by Sach Developers. The project had earlier received the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's Intimation of Disapproval (IOD), a preliminary approval, in October 2025. With the MCZMA clearance now in place, the project has moved a step closer to construction. As part of the environmental conditions attached to the approval, no existing trees will be cut during the construction.

Why is Salman Khan moving out of Galaxy? While the exact reason for the new construction is not known, the move comes more than two years after a firing incident took place outside Galaxy Apartments. Security since then has been heightened for the actor. The shootout was reportedly carried out by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The actor currently has Y+ security cover. The new property is situated on a quieter lane away from the main road, a location that is expected to offer the Khan family more privacy and enhanced security. Neither the actor nor his family has so far reacted to the news of the new residence.

<p>The controversy surrounding Kala Hiran: The Battle for Legacy began as soon as it was announced. The film has sparked debate due to its apparent inspiration from Salman Khan's long-running blackbuck poaching case.</p>

<p>Nearly three decades after it first made headlines, Salman Khan's 1998 blackbuck poaching case has once again come into focus. This time, it's not because of any legal proceedings or the trial. It's because of the upcoming crime thriller <i>Kala Hiran</i>, which has sparked intense debate over its alleged similarities to the actor's long-running legal saga and his feud with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and the Bishnoi community. The film’s trailer got released a few days back. Here's a look back at the blackbuck case that has remained a talking point for years.</p><h2>What happened in 1998?</h2><p>The incident dates back to 1998, when Bollywood actor Salman Khan was shooting for one of his most successful films, Hum Saath Saath Hain, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, in Rajasthan. The actor, along with some of his co-actors, was accused of killing two blackbucks, an endangered species protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, in Bhagoda Ki Dhani in Kankani village near Jodhpur in Rajasthan on the intervening night of October 1-2 of the same year. Reportedly, the incident was witnessed by Poonamchand Bishnoi and Chhogaram Bishnoi of the Bishnoi community.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/amar-and-prem-reunion-salman-khan-and-aamir-khan-come-together-at-lagaan-s-25-year-celebration-1781410026583"><strong>Salman Khan and Aamir Khan reunite at Lagaan's 25-year celebration</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This led the members of the community, who are protectors of blackbucks, to file a case against the star.

Amid the buzz surrounding Kala Hiran, Salman Khan's alleged involvement in the blackbuck hunting case has returned to the spotlight nearly three decades after the incident.

Nearly three decades after it first made headlines, Salman Khan's 1998 blackbuck poaching case has once again come into focus. This time, it's not because of any legal proceedings or the trial. It's because of the upcoming crime thriller Kala Hiran, which has sparked intense debate over its alleged similarities to the actor's long-running legal saga and his feud with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and the Bishnoi community. The film’s trailer got released a few days back. Here's a look back at the blackbuck case that has remained a talking point for years. What happened in 1998? The incident dates back to 1998, when Bollywood actor Salman Khan was shooting for one of his most successful films, Hum Saath Saath Hain, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, in Rajasthan. The actor, along with some of his co-actors, was accused of killing two blackbucks, an endangered species protected under the Wildlife Protection Act, in Bhagoda Ki Dhani in Kankani village near Jodhpur in Rajasthan on the intervening night of October 1-2 of the same year. Reportedly, the incident was witnessed by Poonamchand Bishnoi and Chhogaram Bishnoi of the Bishnoi community.

Following the complaint, Khan was arrested in connection with the alleged case but was later granted bail. 2006: Salman Khan was found guilty In 2006, a trial court found Khan guilty and sentenced him to five years' imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 25,000. After spending a few days in Jodhpur Central Jail, the actor was granted bail, and the case underwent various legal challenges and developments.

Khan subsequently moved to the Rajasthan High Court, which intervened and suspended the sentence, allowing the actor to remain out of prison. The court also directed him to seek permission before undertaking any foreign travel. 2012: The court action Spawning multiple legal cases, in December 2012, the Rajasthan High Court revised and finalised the charges against Salman Khan and his co-stars under Section 9/51 of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Another case was simultaneously run under Sections 3/25 and 3/27 of the Arms Act for allegedly keeping and using firearms with an expired licence in the poaching of blackbucks.
