Today marks a huge milestone for one of India’s biggest superstars, as Salman Khan completes an incredible 37 years in the film industry. From the day he first appeared on screen to now, his journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, filled with blockbuster films, unforgettable characters, and the unwavering love of millions of fans across the globe.
For over three decades, Salman Khan has not just been an actor but a phenomenon. His unique style, charisma, and connection with the audience have made him a true icon of Indian cinema.
The Birth Of A Romantic Hero
While Salman’s first role was a small part in the 1988 film Biwi Ho To Aisi, it was his lead debut in Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) that made him a star overnight. As the charming and innocent ‘Prem,’ he won the hearts of audiences everywhere and became the nation’s heartthrob. This was followed by more family-friendly blockbusters like Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, which cemented his position as the ultimate romantic and family hero of the 90s.

The Rise Of The Action Superstar
In the late 2000s, Salman Khan reinvented his on-screen image with the action-thriller Wanted. The film was a massive success and marked the beginning of his era as an action superstar. He followed this with Dabangg, where his portrayal of the fearless cop Chulbul Pandey became legendary. This phase also saw the start of a new tradition in Bollywood: Salman’s Eid releases, which became a festival for his fans and almost always guaranteed a box office storm.

Beyond The Blockbusters
While he is known for his larger-than-life action roles, Salman has also delivered powerful performances in more emotional films. His role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was praised by critics and audiences alike, proving that he could carry a film with heart and emotion just as easily as he could with action. Beyond the screen, he is also known for his big heart, mentoring many newcomers in the industry and running his charitable organization, the Being Human Foundation.

What’s Next? The Battle Of Galwan
Looking ahead, Salman Khan is preparing for one of his most ambitious projects yet, Battle of Galwan. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film is a war drama based on the real-life 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him in the serious and patriotic role of a soldier. With a powerful story and Salman in the lead, expectations are at an all-time high.
