Superstar Salman Khan returned to Mumbai on Friday just ahead of Diwali, bringing festive cheer to the city with a warm public appearance at Kalina Airport. Dressed in a relaxed yet sharp airport look, the actor was greeted by an enthusiastic group of paparazzi and fans, all eager to catch a glimpse of the Bollywood icon during the festive season.
Salman, known for his effortless charisma and down-to-earth nature, didn’t disappoint. As cameras flashed and voices called out “Bhai! Happy Diwali,” the actor paused, waved to the crowd, and folded his hands in a traditional greeting. He smiled, responded with a heartfelt “Happy Diwali,” and even took a moment to pose for the media before heading to his car—proving once again why he continues to be one of the most adored stars in the industry.
The actor’s return comes on the heels of a widely discussed appearance at the Joy Forum 2025, where he reunited with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, and also met global YouTube sensation MrBeast. The rare joint presence of the three Khans sparked excitement across social media, with fans praising their mutual respect and long-standing camaraderie. At the event, Salman candidly reflected on their shared journey in cinema, saying, “Aamir Khan comes from a film background, and so do I. But this man, Shah Rukh Khan, doesn’t,” drawing a warm, brotherly response from Shah Rukh.
On the work front, Salman is gearing up for a powerful new role in ‘Battle of Galwan’, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The film, based on the real-life 2020 clashes between Indian and Chinese forces in Galwan Valley, will see Salman donning the Indian Army uniform for the first time in years—a role that is already generating buzz.
Meanwhile, he continues to dominate the small screen as the host of ‘Bigg Boss 19’, where his wit, authority, and occasional soft-spoken wisdom remain a highlight of the long-running reality series.
As the festival of lights approaches, Salman’s return and brief yet warm interaction with the media adds a personal sparkle to Diwali in B-town. Whether it’s at glitzy international forums or at a Mumbai airport, the superstar’s ability to connect—without theatrics—remains his true signature.
