MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has delighted fans by sharing heartwarming moments with his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, on social media.

The photographs, featuring the father and son wearing matching cowboy hats, drew widespread attention, while Salman’s accompanying message reflected his admiration for his father, his influence and the importance of appreciating life.

The 60-year-old actor posted the pictures on Instagram on Thursday. In one image, Salman is seen embracing his 91-year-old father from behind, while another shows the two sitting together as Salman holds his father’s hand.

Alongside the photographs, Salman shared a playful and affectionate message, writing: “Howdy, partner. Still rocking at 91. Father is father. He is the real monster. Our fathers have strength. Vande Mataram.”

By calling his father the “real monster,” Salman appeared to highlight Salim Khan’s strong personality and lasting influence on the family.

Fans responded warmly to the post, with many describing the pair as an exceptional father-son duo. Others praised the presence of two legends in the same frame and highlighted Salman’s close bond with his father.

Salman Still Seeks His Father’s Advice

Salman said he listens to his father’s advice and follows it rather than making a different decision based on his own preferences. He added that he continues to discuss difficult decisions with his father and acts according to his guidance.

Salim Khan is one of Hindi cinema’s most celebrated screenwriters, having co-written several films that hold a prominent place in Indian film history. The close relationship between the father and son has long attracted public interest, with glimpses of their bond appearing at public events and on social media.
