There are many other cases. We want to reveal those apart from many known and unknown facts about this superstar. Salman was born to noted screenwriter Salim Khan and wife Salma Khan, but he never used their influence to make his place in tinsel town. The actor always approached filmmakers on his own for auditions.Salman Khan always believed in giving a chance to newcomers as initially he went through the same period of struggle. Whenever he gets a break after giving his shots, he goes through their scripts. Known as a fitness freak, Salman considers the day as incomplete without a proper workout. He even influenced Anil Kapoor to join him in his club and also trained Hrithik Roshan to gain a muscular body which has millions of admirers. Even at the age of 47, the actor leaves the younger generation in shame with his attractive body, as could be seen in last week's release “Dabangg 2”. Salman has also managed to find a place in Maddame Tussaud's museum as his wax statue there resembles him well. Salman's famous love affair was with Aishwariya Rai soon after the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. The flick was declared a Box Office hit but their jodi went flop in 2002, when Aishwarya accused Salman of harassing her.There were stories of Salman being too possessive and becoming uncomfortable when Ash shared screen with other superstars. Vivek Oberoi was one of his targets when he kissed the actress on screen. In 2003, Vivek even lodged a complaint against Salman for threatening him with 41 telephone calls but he soon apologised for this a number of times in public. Katrina Kaif was Salman's another love interest. They dated for many years but this relationship came to a ful stop in 2011. The duo gave many hits including this year “Ek Tha Tiger” which turned out to be the highest grosser of the year. Spectators loved both together and also voted Katrina as the most ideal wife for Salman. Including the hit-and-run case for which the actor needs to be present in the Mumbai Court today, there are other litigations as well for which Salman has been in trouble. In 1998, during the filming of ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain' in Jodhpur, he was arrested by the local police for killing black bucks, a protected species, and spent about a week behind the bars of Jodhpur jail.During the 26/11 attacks, the actor again got himself in controversy when he said that Pakistan was not to be blamed for it, and that the Indian security forces had failed. The comment drew a strong reaction from all over. But above all Salman has a heart of gold and no one can deny this fact. For his sincerity, helping nature and a charitable trust of his own named ‘Being Human', the actor has the most number of friends in Bollywood. Sushmita Sen and Sanjay Dutt are amongst his best pals in town. The actor is consistent in his social activities like visiting poor kids in hospital and donating blood.We wish Salman Khan a happy birthday alongwith the hope that he gets rid of all the controversies and may he rule millions of hearts forever.
