Eid celebrations at Salman Khan’s residence have become a cherished tradition, with the superstar greeting fans from his balcony. This year, however, he waved at the crowd from behind bulletproof glass, a security measure installed after recent death threats.
Dressed in a sharp white Pathani kurta, Salman was accompanied by his beloved niece, Ayat (daughter of Arpita Khan and Ayush Sharma), with whom he shares a close bond and even a birthday. The two were seen sharing a sweet moment as they interacted with fans.
His nephew, Ahil Sharma, was also present during the heartfelt gesture, which left the gathered fans thrilled. While Salman usually steps onto the balcony every Eid, the heightened security follows an alarming incident in April 2024 when gunshots were fired outside his home.
The actor recently addressed the threats, stating, "Everything is in God’s hands. Whatever lifespan is written, will be. The only challenge is moving around with heavy security."
Meanwhile, his latest film, Sikandar, released on March 30, earned ₹26 crore on its opening day in India, with expectations of a surge in collections on Eid.
