Salman Khan’s deep bond with his father, Salim Khan, was once again highlighted during the recent trailer launch of the documentary Angry Young Men in Mumbai. The father-son duo attended the event with other family members, and Salman took the opportunity to express his admiration and love for his father through a heartfelt post on his social media accounts. Sharing a picture where he stands behind his seated father, Salman captioned it, “DadLee Man – My Father God,” showcasing the respect and affection he holds for Salim Khan.
In the picture, Salman Khan is seen wearing a full-sleeved black T-shirt with faded jeans, while Salim Khan is dressed in a light shirt, white trousers, and a puffer jacket. The post quickly garnered attention, with celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Dia Mirza, and Aditya Roy Kapur liking it, while fans poured in comments praising them as the “greatest father-son duo of Bollywood.”
Salman Khan, when asked to recall his favorite dialogue, famously said, “Mere paas maa hain” (I have my mother), and then humorously added, “Aur voh bhi do” (And I have two of them). This playful addition to the iconic line brought smiles all around, with Salim Khan beaming and Javed Akhtar laughing heartily. Farhan Akhtar, on the other hand, mentioned his favorite dialogue, “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai” (Catching Don is not just difficult, it’s impossible).
Salman also shared another photo featuring his father alongside Javed Akhtar, paying tribute to their legendary partnership as the screenwriting duo Salim-Javed. Together, they crafted some of Bollywood’s most iconic films, including Zanjeer, Sholay, and Deewar.
