Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently took to Instagram to showcase a prized possession—his father Salim Khan's first bike.
Salim Khan, the legendary screenwriter and father of Salman Khan, is known for his passion for motorcycles, maintaining an impressive collection over the years.
Salman Khan took to Instagram to share two heartfelt pictures featuring his father, Salim Khan, and his beloved bike. In the first image, Salim Khan is seen seated on the vintage motorcycle, with Salman standing beside him. In the second picture, Salman himself takes the seat, looking ready to kickstart the nostalgic ride.
He captioned the post as, "Dad’s 1st bike, Triumph Tiger 100,1956"
The vintage bike holds a special place in the Khan family's heart, as it was gifted to Salim Khan by his son Sohail on his birthday.
Triumph Tiger 100,1956 also won the 'Best Restored Motorcycle' award at 'Vintage Car Fiesta 2013' in Mumbai (organized by the Vintage & Classic Car Club of India).
In an interview, Salim Khan reminisced about his love for motorcycles, mentioning that he wasn’t alone in being drawn to these iconic machines. He shared that Hollywood legends like Marlon Brando and James Dean also owned Triumph motorcycles, a fact he had read in international film magazines. Khan fondly recalled his first ride on his bike, a journey from Ratlam to his home in Indore, which boasted a unique registration number: Jaora 1.
On the professional front, Salman Khan is all set for his upcoming release, Sikandar, where he will star opposite Rashmika Mandanna. The Dabangg actor is currently filming in Hyderabad under tight four-tier security due to ongoing death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, a concern that has required heightened precautions.
