Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is truly the most successful superstar in the industry. His immense fame speaks for itself and needs no further explanation. Today, December 27, 2024, Salman Khan celebrates his 59th birthday. In honor of this special day, let's take a moment to reflect on the period when the superstar faced a career slump after Bhagyashree decided to get married, despite the success of Maine Pyar Kiya. I did not get the offer for five months. On Rajat Sharma's show Aap Ki Adalat, Salman Khan admitted that he didn't get any offers for four to five months after Maine Pyar Kiya. At that time, he felt that he would not get any work because his co-star Bhagyashree decided to get married after the release of the film and the industry ignored him. He said, "And she went and got married and ran away with all the credit, whatever credit is due for the film. It seemed to the industry that I was that and he was nothing." Father had to come forward That's when Salman's father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, had to intervene. He requested filmmaker-producer GP Sippy, with whom he had worked on several projects, to announce that he had signed Salman for a project. When this announcement appeared in a trade magazine, filmmakers and producers became confident of Salman's banking potential and started offering him films. During the conversation, Salman also revealed that he was paid Rs 31,000 for Maine Pyar Kiya, and his payment increased to Rs 75,000 for his second film. Since then, the superstar has never looked back. Over the years, the birthday boy has made a special place in the hearts of his fans. He will next be seen in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The cast also includes Prateik Babbar, Sathyaraj and Sharman Joshi in pivotal roles.
