Fans Speculate: Is **Salman Khan** Ready for Marriage?
Actor’s birthday message to brother-in-law sparks rumors about settling down
A recent Instagram post by **Salman Khan** wishing his brother-in-law, **Atul Agnihotri**, a happy birthday has ignited a flurry of speculation among fans. Is the Bollywood superstar finally ready to embrace married life and possibly fatherhood?
Birthday Message Creates Buzz
**Khan** posted a candid and humorous photo of **Atul**, asleep on his wife **Alvira Khan**’s shoulder. The caption read, “Happy birthday Atul my bil means brother-in-law. Thank u for taking care of my sister. I love u man. Best husband n father. Now can u plz be u—the man I knew. 1 day I vil be the man u r. Wake up brother,”
fueling speculation about **Salman**’s future plans.
The line, “One day I vil be the man u r,”
prompted many fans to question whether **Khan**, known for dodging questions about marriage, was hinting at a change of heart. Comments like “So 1 day salman will also be married,”
and “Matlab bhai shadi karna chahte hai,”
flooded the comments section.
While **Salman Khan** has long been questioned about marriage, this particular message has fans wondering if it was a casual comment or a subtle confession that he might be ready to start a family. According to a recent study, the median age for first marriage in India has been steadily increasing, reaching 22.7 years for women and 26.3 years for men in 2022 (PIB India 2023). This could mean fans will be waiting a while.
Other Reactions
Alongside the marriage speculation, some fans playfully roasted **Salman**, with comments such as, “Sojao Bhaijaan…”
and “Loving the old school captions.”
Upcoming Projects
On the professional front, **Salman Khan** is set to appear as a man in uniform in the film ‘Battle of Galwan’. Recent reports suggest that filming will commence in August, with the initial schedule taking place in Ladakh, followed by shoots in Mumbai and Kashmir.
