It was a night of double celebrations and family togetherness as veteran screenwriter Salim Khan and his wife Salma Khan marked their remarkable 61st wedding anniversary on Monday. The joyful occasion coincided perfectly with the wedding anniversary of their daughter, Arpita Khan, and son-in-law, Aayush Sharma, making the evening an extra special affair for the entire Khan khandaan.
The celebrations saw the Khan family and a host of close friends gather to honour the enduring love of Salim and Salma Khan. The legendary couple, whose family roots are a testament to acceptance and unity, were surrounded by their loved ones, with pictures and videos of the star-studded event quickly becoming viral sensations on social media.
Superstar Salman Khan led the arrivals, pausing to greet the paparazzi before entering the venue. He was joined by his father's second wife, the celebrated actress Helen, who graced the event with her trademark elegance and a warm smile for the cameras.
The family was out in full strength: daughter Alvira Agnihotri, her husband Atul Agnihotri, and their daughter Alizeh were all present. The couple celebrating their own anniversary, Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma, were spotted radiating happiness. Also among the attendees were Salman Khan's longtime bodyguard Shera, and close family friends Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, who arrived together to join the festivity.

Salim Khan, the man behind classics like Sholay and Zanjeer, married Salma Khan (Sushila Charak) in 1964. They have four children—Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail, and Alvira—and an adopted daughter, Arpita. Salim Khan’s later marriage to Helen in 1981 is a well-known story of unconventional love that ultimately fostered a truly united family, a bond he has previously spoken of as an "emotional accident" that he chose to face with honesty.
The anniversary party was not just a celebration of 61 years of marriage, but a vibrant testament to the strong, inclusive family unit built by Salim Khan—a beautiful evening of shared happiness for both the evergreen couple and the younger Arpita and Aayush.
