Dad's 1st bike

Trailer launch of 'Angry Young Men'
At the trailer launch of Prime Video's web series 'Angry Young Men' about the legendary writer duo Salim and Javed, Salman was present at the launch and shared a priceless moment with his dad. He also called his dad, "DadLee Man-My Father God" in a post. Interestingly, Salman kept standing during the whole event because he believed that it was disrespectful to sit when his father was around. The actor further said that he has learned to stand when his father is in the room.
Salman's fitness 'role model'
While fans look up to the 'Dabangg' actor because of his fit and muscular body, the actor, in a 2019 interview, shared that his inspiration for aging gracefully is his father. He further spoke about his father's very disciplined approach to his fitness routine, which includes walking three rounds of Bandra Bandstand, doing Pilates, Yoga, and sometimes weight training too.
Coolest Dad
Salman Khan has also mentioned that his father is full of youthful spirit, connects with people of all ages, and seamlessly blends with youngsters. He mentioned that Salim Khan matches the wavelength of his nephews and converses with them as if he is one of them.
Father's Day
In 2020, when the actor was away from his father at his Panvel farmhouse, he wished him with a video of memories collected over time. The actor poured his heart out in the caption. He captioned the post, "Happy Father's Day, the best gift your father would want from you is for you to live happily. Kids khush, fathers khush...."
Dad's scolding
In the 2019 episode, Salman shared an anecdote about when he once wore his dad's slippers by mistake and had stepped out. But, when he returned home, he got an earful from his dad.
Professional-personal difference
Salman also shared that his father has never trusted his scripts, which is why he didn't like sharing them with him. He would just say, 'pitegi' (will be a flop).
