Salman Khan, one of Bollywood’s most adored superstars, is once again making waves on social media—this time for a heartwarming moment that quickly went viral. A video of the actor warmly acknowledging a female fan during a public appearance has captured the internet’s attention, earning him widespread praise from fans.
The clip, shared by Instant Bollywood, shows Salman Khan arriving casually dressed at an event when he suddenly notices a female fan loudly calling out his name. In a spontaneous and kind gesture, Salman calls her closer and shakes her hand, leaving the fan visibly thrilled. The brief yet touching interaction instantly resonated online, with netizens applauding the actor for his humility and genuine connection with his admirers.
As Salman trended for his latest viral moment, memories of his past relationships also resurfaced—particularly his much-discussed romance with Katrina Kaif. Adding a fresh layer to that nostalgia, AD Singh, founder of Olive Bar and Kitchen, recently shared a charming anecdote about the former couple in a conversation with Outlook Traveller.
Recalling an incident from the early days of Olive, AD Singh said that Salman and Katrina’s romance often unfolded at the restaurant. One evening, Katrina had arrived with her own group and occupied the main outdoor table, while Salman was at the bar with his brothers. “We realised they were obviously fighting,” Singh recalled.
What followed, however, was straight out of a movie. As the night progressed, Salman placed a rose in his mouth and danced past Katrina’s table with a playful smile—once on his way to the restroom and again while returning. “It was actually adorable,” Singh said, adding that no one could resist the gesture. Katrina eventually started smiling and laughing, and the disagreement seemingly melted away. “It was a very charming, memorable moment with Salman and Katrina,” he shared.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif reportedly grew close during the filming of Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? in 2005. At the time, Katrina was still establishing herself in the Hindi film industry, while Salman was already a massive star. Their frequent public appearances, multiple film collaborations, and candid off-screen moments made them one of the most talked-about couples of the era.
On the professional front, Salman is widely credited with supporting Katrina during the early phase of her career, guiding her through the industry and helping her land significant roles. Their collaborations went on to become commercially successful, further strengthening their on-screen chemistry and fan following.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is currently focused on his upcoming film Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films. The movie, based on real-life events, features Salman in the role of an Indian Army officer and stars Chitrangada Singh in a pivotal role. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 17.
Recently, the makers unveiled Maatrubhoomi, the first song from the film’s album. The music video showcases Salman and Chitrangada as a married couple with two young children, transitioning from warm domestic moments to powerful visuals of the Galwan battlefield. Their on-screen pairing has been praised for its natural chemistry and emotional depth.
According to a source quoted by Bollywood Hungama, the team is currently completing the film’s patchwork. “Salman Khan, director Apoorva Lakhia, and the team are finishing patchwork while also adding a few new scenes, including action sequences. It’s a 15-day schedule,” the source revealed.
With viral fan moments, nostalgic stories, and a highly anticipated patriotic film on the way, Salman Khan continues to remain firmly in the spotlight.
