The Dabangg star further stated that his father (Salim Khan) got married in Rs 180. The reason why he was able to rear five children (Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail, Alvira and Arpita). That's Bhai's humour - irreverent, but funny. But the Khandaan will not allow him to have a simple wedding as their joy will know no bounds the day he says, "I do."
