How did Salman Khan navigate personal controversies to sustain his Bollywood career?

Salman Khan, often hailed as the “Bhai” of Bollywood, has had a tumultuous journey marked by both professional highs and personal lows. Despite being born into a filmi family, with his father being veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, Salman faced his fair share of struggles on his path to stardom. His initial foray into Bollywood with films like “Biwi Ho To Aisi” and “Maine Pyar Kiya” earned him praise for his performances but failed to establish him as a bankable star. However, it was his portrayal of the quintessential romantic hero in films like “Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!” and “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” that catapulted him to overnight fame, earning him the title of “Prem” from his legions of fans. Despite subsequent setbacks in his career, including a string of box office flops and personal controversies, Salman’s charisma and star power have remained undiminished. His ability to connect with the masses through his larger-than-life characters and his philanthropic efforts outside of the film industry have endeared him to audiences worldwide, making him one of Bollywood’s most enduring and beloved stars.
