Happy Birthday, Salman Khan! This year belonged to Sallu Bhai and we were all his minions. Alright, every year belongs to bhaijaan and the rest of the world just sits and watches, but this year is super-special and we’ll tell you why! Before anything else, have a look at the cake the super-star cut and graciously shared a picture of on Twitter:
Now that you’re drooling, have a look at the 10 ways Salman was the stud of 2014!
1) He starred in 2014’s biggest guilty pleasure: Kick
I mean if we didn’t have Jumme Ki Raat and Yaar Na Mile what would we do at a New Year’s Eve party? Doesn’t hurt that it made like 200+ crores only because of Bhai.
2) He sang!
Chaandi Ke Daal Par Sone Ka Mor has been erased from our memory (actually your memory, not mine, I always remember shit like this) because Salman crooned to Hangoverrrr teri yaadon kaaaa. However funny the whole ‘Hangoverrr’ aalap (you know the end of the song where Salman and Shreya Ghoshal keep singing Hanogverrr) sounded, you have to admit the song was catchy as hell.
3) He gave his darling sister Arpita the wedding of her dreams!
Every girl dreams of a perfect wedding and Salman, being the doting brother, made sure everything turned out to be perfect for his little sister’s big day. Bhai ho toh aisa.
4) He patched up with Shah Rukh Khan!
There were celebrations all over the country. People reacted like their own warring families had buried their differences; such was the effect of the SRK-Salman patch up. Also bro, Arpita should be in the UN.
5) He cracked a joke on his ex-girlfriend’s current relationship on a stage, with thousands of people watching him!
Salman just showed what a good sport he is when he called Katrina on stage by adding Katrina Kapoor to her name. He also went on to say that he has given her the chance to be a Khan but she chose to be a Kapoor – now only a very confident man can admit this in public and he did exactly that.
6) Bigg Boss
The only reason a sane person will watch this show is because of Salman Khan’s hosting skills. That man does such a wonderful job, it’ll be difficult to see anyone else but him host a complicated show like Bigg Boss!
7) Sale on Being Human
His clothing brand that already has such a huge following worldwide is getting a flat 27% discount today because it’s his birthday! Not only is he one of the most charitable man in Bollywood, he also makes it easier for us to help him with his cause.
8) Appreciation for other movies and actors
Everyone knows that a tweet from Salman Khan recommending or praising a movie or an actor carries a lot of weightage. He saw to it that he tweets about them, even when he wasn’t involved in the movie at all.
9) Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
He had no qualms in picking up a broomstick and cleaning up a huge a part of Karjat to show his support for the Prime Minister’s Clean India campaign.
10) His fans
Salman’s fans are one of the most passionate lots you’ll ever see – they love, encourage and support their favourite actor in all platforms (the Internet, theatres and also in general day to day discussions). Speaks a lot about the man if he can garner the love of so many people, no?
Happy Birthday, Salman Khan! Hope all your dreams come true!
