Salim Khan reveals why Salman Khan is still single; says, 'Woh usko convert karne ki koshish karta hai'

Salman Khan

Salman Khan has been ruling the industry for decades. However, his personal life, especially his marriage status, continues to intrigue fans as much as his films. Despite being in high-profile relationships with actresses like Katrina Kaif, Somy Ali, and Sangeeta Bijlani, the 59-year-old actor remains single.

In a resurfaced interview with Komal Nahta, Salman’s father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, shed light on why the superstar hasn’t tied the knot yet. Salim shared candid insights into Salman’s relationships and his expectations from a life partner, which have sparked a fresh wave of discussions online.

Salim Khan revealed that Salman’s reluctance to marry stems from conflicting expectations. “Salman ka pata nahi kya hai… Salman ki ek toh is wajah se bhi shaadi nahi hoti hai ki thoda sa contradiction bhi hai Salman ki thinking main,” he explained, suggesting that Salman’s thoughts about marriage are at odds with his actions.

Salim noted that Salman often falls for his co-stars, given the nature of their close working environment. “Salman ka lagao ya mohabbat… he’s attracted to the person jiske saath kaam karte hain. They are very exciting, good-looking people,” Salim said, adding that Salman is usually drawn to heroines during the course of a film.

However, Salim also pointed out that after entering a relationship, Salman starts searching for qualities reminiscent of his mother in his partner. This expectation, according to Salim, creates tension, as Salman desires a career-oriented woman to give up her ambitions and focus solely on family life.

“Why should one deprive her? Ki main shaadi karke ghar baitha doonga? Uska vahi hota hai,” Salim remarked, criticising the notion of expecting women to abandon their careers. He added, “Jab commitment ho jaata hai toh voh usko convert karne ki koshish karta hai, usme apni maa dhoondta hai. Voh toh possible nahi hai.”

The resurfaced clip of Salim Khan’s candid remarks quickly went viral, reigniting debates about Salman’s bachelorhood. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next release, Sikandar, alongside Rashmika Mandanna.
