Actor, producer, and legendary screenwriter, Salim Khan celebrates his birthday on November 24. He was recently featured in the docu-series ‘Angry Young Men’ which offered an insight into his life as a person in showbiz, a husband to Salma Khan, and a father to superstar Salman Khan and his siblings Arbaaz, Sohail, Alvira, and Arpita. On his special day, we look at his and Salma’s love story.
In the first episode of ‘Angry Young Men’, Salim Khan recalls his early days of romance with Salma. He reminisced, “I could see her from my balcony. It started with us exchanging glances. She was about 17 years old in 1959 and I was 24. We used to meet in the evenings in the nearby lanes. Then her family pressurised Salma to either marry me or someone of their choice. Under those circumstances, I got married in 1964. In 1965, Salman was born. We didn't have much money and I was worried about work. So how would we manage? Since I needed money, I accepted anything. I did cigarette ads, clothing, shirts, I did everything.”
