Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan and his wife, Salma Khan, celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on November 17, 2025, in Mumbai. The intimate gathering included close friends and family, highlighting the enduring bond of the couple.
Videos shared online captured Salim and Salma arriving at their son Sohail Khan’s residence, where the celebration took place. Notably, Salim’s second wife, actress Helen, was also present, interacting with the media before joining the festivities.
Salman Khan made a stylish entrance, opting for an all-black outfit while acknowledging the paparazzi. He did not pause for photos, similar to fellow guests Zaheer Iqbal and Sonakshi Sinha, who also maintained a low profile.
Salim and Salma’s marriage began in 1964, a time long before Salim gained fame with iconic films such as “Sholay” and “Zanjeer.” The couple welcomed four children: Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail, and Alvira. Salim once shared that he had secret meetings with Salma before officially approaching her family, navigating initial religious objections from her father.
Reflecting on their wedding, Salim has recounted how Salma cherished the traditional saat phere ceremony, prompting him to arrange for a local priest. Their union included both a nikaah and the saat phere, symbolizing their commitment free of pressure. In 1981, Salim married Helen but maintained his marriage to Salma.
Recently, a touching video surfaced showing Salim tenderly feeding Salma, which quickly captured the hearts of viewers online, demonstrating the affection that remains between them after decades of marriage.
