Salman Khan, born Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan on December 27, 1965, is an Indian actor, film producer, and television personality. His illustrious career spans over three decades, during which he has garnered numerous accolades.

Khan’s journey began with a supporting role in the film Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988). However, it was his breakthrough as the lead actor in Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), directed by Sooraj Barjatya, that catapulted him to stardom. Throughout the 1990s, Khan delivered a string of commercially successful films, including family dramas like Hum Aapke Hain Koun…! (1994) and Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999), as well as action-packed ventures like Karan Arjun (1995) and the comedy Biwi No.1 (1999).

The 2010s marked a resurgence for Khan, with blockbuster hits such as Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), Kick (2014), and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017). His portrayal of Bajrangi in Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Sultan in Sultan (2016) further solidified his status as a box office magnet.

Beyond acting, Khan wears multiple hats. He hosts the reality show Bigg Boss since 2010 and is a prominent television presenter. His philanthropic endeavors include the Being Human Foundation, which supports various humanitarian causes.

However, Khan’s off-screen life has been marred by controversies and legal troubles. In 2015, he faced conviction for a negligent driving case, but the verdict was later set aside on appeal. Despite the ups and downs, Salman Khan remains an iconic figure in Indian cinema, celebrated for his charisma, versatility, and enduring popularity.
