Bollywood’s “Bhaijaan,” Salman Khan, officially turned 60 today, Saturday, December 27, 2025. Staying true to his decades-old tradition, the superstar swapped the glitz of Mumbai for the serenity of his Arpita Farms in Panvel, hosting an intimate gathering for family, close friends, and his favorite collaborators.
Midnight Moment: Cake, Hugs, and a New Look
As the clock struck midnight, Salman stepped outside his farmhouse gates to a chorus of “Happy Birthday” from a massive gathering of photographers and fans.
- The Look: Dressed casually in a black T-shirt and blue denims, Salman debuted a sharp, clean-shaven look, which insiders say is for his upcoming film, Battle of Galwan.
- Heartwarming Gesture: In a video that has since gone viral, Salman was seen cutting a large red-and-white cake. He personally fed a slice to the photographers and, in a particularly emotional moment, gave a warm hug and a forehead kiss to a senior woman journalist who has covered his journey for years.
- Security Check: Despite the celebratory mood, security remained at an all-time high, with Mumbai Police and private detail maintaining a strict perimeter.
The “Battle of Galwan” Gift
To mark the big 6-0, the makers of Salman’s next film, Battle of Galwan, released the first official teaser at 2:00 PM today.
- The Premise: Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film recreates the 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops. Salman portrays a high-ranking Indian Army officer leading his men in hand-to-hand combat.
- Star Power: The teaser confirms Chitrangda Singh as the female lead and features a high-octane score that has already trended to #1 on YouTube within an hour of its release.
A Star-Studded Guest List
While the bash was private, several high-profile guests were spotted entering the Panvel estate on Friday evening:
