Recently turned 60-year-old Bollywood superstar Salman Khan once again proved why he has a knack for winning hearts not just on the big screens. This time, not because he acted in a blockbuster or appeared on TV, but because he displayed his cooking skills while preparing a handcrafted bowl of street food lovingly known as “Bhau chi bhel.”
One look at Instagram on Monday, and we were treated to a lovely video featuring Salman, uploaded by actress Genelia Deshmukh, where the superstar was seen looking relaxed and joyful as he effortlessly combined ingredients from the street food stall and prepared a mouth-watering ‘Bhel’. The caption written by the actress spoke volumes about the warmth and hospitality in Salman, and it reads, “There is no one like @beingsalmankhan, he absolutely goes out of his way to make you feel at home, to make you feel special. This time, he serves the absolutely delicious ‘Bhau chi bhel’. We love you.”
