Celebrating 61 Years of Love: Salim and Salma Khan
On Monday, veteran writer Salim Khan and his wife, Salma Khan, celebrated an impressive milestone—61 years of marriage. The intimate gathering took place at Sohail Khan’s residence, filled with warmth and love, attended by close family and friends. Among the attendees were their sons Salman, Arbaaz, and Sohail, along with actress Helen, Salim's second wife. The event showcased the strong family bonds that are cherished in Indian culture.
A video shared by a paparazzo captured the couple arriving at the celebration, with Salim and Salma stepping out of their car, radiating happiness. Helen also joined the festivities, taking a moment to pose for the cameras and wave at the paparazzi before heading inside. Salman Khan made an entrance in his signature all-black attire, acknowledging the photographers while maintaining his usual charm.
Salim and Salma’s love story is as captivating as their long-lasting marriage. They tied the knot in 1964, long before Salim became a household name with iconic films like Sholay and Deewar. Salim once shared how he would secretly meet Salma before asking for her hand in marriage. Despite initial objections from Salma's father regarding their different religions, Salim's determination and love prevailed.
In a heartfelt interview, Salim reminisced about their wedding rituals, explaining how he found a local pandit to perform the saat phere, honoring Salma’s wish to follow the tradition. He also mentioned that they had a nikaah ceremony, ensuring that their marriage was built on mutual consent and love. In 1981, Salim married actress Helen but chose to continue his relationship with Salma, highlighting a unique aspect of their family.
This celebration was not just a party but a testament to the enduring love and commitment that Salim and Salma share. A recent video of the couple, where Salim lovingly fed Salma, went viral, showcasing their affection and companionship. Their relationship embodies the values of love, respect, and family unity that resonate deeply within Indian culture. The anniversary celebration served as a reminder that true love can stand the test of time, bringing families together in joy and celebration.
