For years, one question has continued to follow Salman Khan everywhere: “Salman Khan ki shaadi kab hogi?” The superstar remains Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor, despite being one of the biggest names in the industry and having had a few high-profile relationships in the past. Once again, he addressed the topic of love during the grand premiere of Bigg Boss Season 19 on August 24, 2025.
It happened when contestant Tanya Mittal, a social media influencer, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and Miss Asia 2018 winner, entered the house. In a candid chat, Salman asked Tanya about her favorite film. She instantly replied, “Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo.” Seizing the moment, Tanya posed a personal question to the host: “Kya saccha pyaar hamesha adhura reh jaata hai? (Does true love always remain incomplete?)”
With his trademark wit and honesty, Salman responded, “Mujhe saccha pyaar hua hi nahi hai ab tak” (I have never experienced true love till now).
This isn’t the first time Salman has spoken about matters of the heart. In an earlier episode of his nephew Arhaan Khan’s podcast, he advised him to move on quickly after a breakup. He compared it to ripping off a band-aid: “Go inside a room, have a good cry and finish the subject. Come out and just say, ‘What’s up? How’s it going?’”
Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 19 premiered on JioHotstar at 9 PM with the theme “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar.” Alongside Tanya Mittal, the contestant list includes Gaurav Khanna, Zeeshan Quadri, Payal Dhare, Kanak Waghnani, Siwet Tomar, Shafaq Naaz, Hunar Hale, Abhishek Bajaj, Baseer Ali, Nagma Mirajkar, Awaz Darbar, Ashnoor Kaur, Mridul Tiwari, and Shehbaz Badesha.
