Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan better known as Salman Khan or Sallu bhai was born on December 27, 1965. He is the eldest son of celebrated screenwriter Salim Khan and his first wife Salma Khan (maiden name Sushila Charak). His stepmother is Helen, a famous yesteryear Bollywood actress, who has co-starred with him in Khamoshi: The Musical (1996) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999).

Salman Khan was romantically linked with several actresses in the past. He had relationships with Aishwarya Rai, Somy Ali and Sangeeta Bijlani. The superstar is frequently featured as Bollywood's most eligible bachelor. Till sometime back he was allegedly dating model-turned-actress Katrina Kaif.
-
At the time when Aishwarya was seeing actor Vivek Oberoi, Salman apparently called up Vivek and threatened him. Later Vivek called a press conference to confirm that Salman had abused him and threatened to kill him. In 2005, an illicit copy of a mobile phone call recorded in 2001 by the Mumbai police was released. It appeared to be a call in which he threatened ex-girlfriend, Aishwarya Rai, in an effort to force her to appear at social events held by Mumbai underworld. However, the alleged tape was tested in a Forensic lab in Chandigarh, which concluded that it was fake.
-
In 2010, the two called off their relationship. During the promotions of his home production Dabangg Salman admitted to 'being single'. And Katrina in an interview to a news daily said she had broken off with Salman but they were still friends.
When news came around about Salman's cameo in Kat's film Tees Maar Khan, we almost believed it. But her appearance on Bigg Boss, hosted by him, saw a shade of hostility between the two. -
His first leading role in a Bollywood movie was in Sooraj R. Barjatya's romance Maine Pyar Kiya (1989). The film went on to become one of India's highest grossing films. It also won him a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award, and a nomination for Filmfare Best Actor Award. Maine Pyar Kiya was the biggest hit of 1989 in India, and it established Salman Khan's status in the industry.
-
Salman clawed back his previous success in 1994 with his second collaboration with director Sooraj Barjatya in the romance Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, co-starring Madhuri Dixit. This film was the biggest hit of that year, and turned out to be one of Bollywood's highest grossing films ever, becoming the fourth highest earner of all time. Apart from being a commercial success, the film was widely acclaimed and Salman was praised for his performance, earning his second nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare.
-
Three more films released that year featured Khan, none of which making a significant impact on the box-office. He did however win praise for his performance in Andaz Apna Apna, alongside co-star Aamir Khan, which has gained a cult status since its release.
-
In 1995 he cemented his success with Rakesh Roshan's blockbuster Karan Arjun, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan. The film was the second biggest hit of the year, and his role of Karan once again put his name among the nominees for the Best Actor award at the Filmfare, which was eventually won by his co-star Shah Rukh Khan.
-
1996 was followed by two successes. The first one being Sanjay Leela Bhansali's directional debut Khamoshi: The Musical, co-starring Manisha Koirala, Nana Patekar and Seema Biswas. Though a box office failure, the film was critically acclaimed. He next starred alongside Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor in Raj Kanwar's action hit Jeet.
-
He had only two releases in 1997: Judwaa and Auzaar. The former was a comedy directed by David Dhawan co-starring Karisma Kapoor, where he played a dual role of twins separated at birth. The film was a box office hit. The latter, co-starring Shilpa Shetty, failed to do well.
-
Salman worked in five different films in 1998, his first release being the comedy Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya opposite Kajol, one of the biggest commercial successes of that year. This was followed by the moderately successful drama Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai. He rounded of the year with Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Co-starring alongside Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, he had only an extended cameo playing the role of Aman. However, it eventually turned out beneficial to him, as his performance earned him his second Filmfare Award under the Best Supporting Actor category.
-
In 2000, Sallu acted in six films, most of which failed critically and commercially, except for the two moderately successful films, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, both of which co-starred Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta. His performance in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, the release of which was delayed until 2001, was received well. The film was one of the first Bollywood movies to handle the issue of surrogate childbirth. Critics noted his turn towards a more serious role, which reportedly had more substance in comparison to his previous roles.
-
His next release Partner did very well at the box office, receiving a blockbuster verdict. He next appeared in his first Hollywood movie, Marigold: An Adventure in India opposite American actress Ali Larter. Telling the love story of an Indian man and an American woman, the film was a major failure, both commercially and critically. He also did cameos in Om Shanti Om and Saawariya.
-
Salman's first film of 2009, Wanted directed by choreographer turned director Prabhu Deva was declared a smash hit in its first weekend of release itself. The action film turned out to be a huge success. The movie got more recognition for its slick action sequences performed by the actor himself. His home production Main Aurr Mrs Khanna starring Kareena Kapoor and London Dreams failed miserably at the box office.
-
Salman's life has been a journey full of ups and downs. On 28 September 2002, Salman was arrested for rash and negligent driving. His car had collided into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the mishap. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped, and he was found not guilty. However, he will still have to stand trial for a series of lesser charges pertaining to the incident.
-
On 17 February 2006, Salman was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting an endangered species, the Chinkara. The sentence was stayed by a higher court during appeal. On 10 April 2006, Salman was handed a five year jail term for hunting the endangered Chinkara. He was remanded to Jodhpur jail, and remained there until 13 April when he was granted bail.
-
On 24 August 2007, the Jodhpur sessions court, upheld the 5 year jail term for Khan in the Chinkara poaching case by turning down his appeal against the 2006 judgement. At the time of the hearing, he was busy with a shooting elsewhere, while his sister attended the proceedings. Day after, he was placed under police arrest in Jodhpur after a Rajasthan court upheld a prison sentence passed upon him for poaching. On 31 August 2007, Khan was released on bail from the Jodhpur Central jail where he had spent six days.
-
If that was not enough, in September 2007, a Muslim organisation issued a fatwa against Khan for attending a Ganesh puja. Stating that Islam prohibits idol worship, the organisation stated that unless Khan reads the kalmas - the declaration of faith, all over again, he will not be considered a Muslim. In addition to that, Khan celebrated the Ganesh Mahostav with his family in Bandra; they brought a Ganesh idol for one day for the sake of his stepmother, Helen. Khan was among the group who danced in the procession. His father responded by criticising the fatwa, and stated that Salman had done nothing wrong.
-
His life-size wax figure was finally installed in Madame Tussauds in London on 15 January 2008, making him the fourth Indian actor to have been replicated as a wax statue in the museum. Another fatwa was raised against Khan by a Muslim cleric in India, mufti Salim Ahmad Qasmi, for allowing Madame Tussauds to make a wax model of himself. The mufti said the statue is illegal and the Sharia forbids depictions of all living creatures. This created speculation in the press, as no fatwa was released against fellow Muslim, Shahrukh Khan who also has a wax model in the museum. Salman responded by saying, "These fatwas are becoming a joke".

Salman who is often termed by his friends as a man with the golden heart, was caught in an ugly brawl with his friend Shah Rukh Khan last year at his girlfriend Katrina Kaif's birthday party. The war of words between the two Khan almost resulted into a physical fight.
As per reports, Salman was inebriated when Shah Rukh entered the party with wife Gauri Khan and then the two got engaged in a war of words, which turned ugly. It was almost a physical fight but Gauri interrupted just in time.
The fight almost divided Bollywood into two camps. According to reports, Salman, who is known for his loyalty towards friends, got supportive calls from old time friends like Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Khanna.
The star-studded birthday party of Katrina Kaif was attended by Bollywood bigwigs like Aamir, Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Karan Johar, Rajkumar Santoshi, Kunal Kohli, Salim Khan, Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Nikhil Advani, Prakash Jha, David Dhawan, Anees Bazmee, and Manmohan Shetty, among others. -
At the 2010 Indian Couture Week, a number of Bollywood's leading ladies took to the ramp in support of Being Human, a non-profit, charitable organisation started by Salman.
In a prior show, carrying mega-star power Aamir Khan, Govinda, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan walked for the charitable cause. -
Soon after, Salman's next big venture Bodyguard will see him with Kareena Kapoor once again.
Another remake, the film is slated for an August release.
But that isn't it for this bad boy of Bollywood. Another film with Lara Dutta is on the cards this year - Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai.
We hope 2011 proves to be a great year for Salman.
