Salman Khan, one of Bollywood’s most eligible bachelors, has often been in the spotlight for his personal life, particularly when it comes to marriage. Despite being a superstar for decades, the actor remains single, leaving fans and the media to speculate about when he might tie the knot.
However, there was a time when his mother, Salma Khan, had someone in mind for him, and it wasn’t a Bollywood A-lister like Aishwarya Rai or Katrina Kaif. Instead, it was a popular television actress 17 years younger than him who stole her heart.
The revelation came during an episode of Bigg Boss 7, where Salman Khan was hosting the show. During this particular episode, television actors Sanaya Irani and Ashish Sharma were present to promote their show Rangrasiya.
While chatting with the duo, Salman shared a surprising and playful detail about his mother’s fondness for Sanaya Irani. He revealed that his mother, Salma Khan, was such a big fan of the talented television actress that she had even thought about her as a potential daughter-in-law!
Salman’s lighthearted confession caught everyone off guard, especially Sanaya Irani. The actress was left in complete shock but couldn’t help but laugh at the unexpected revelation. Salman, as always, added his signature charm and wit to the moment, making it clear that his mother adored Sanaya for her on-screen presence and personality.
This story sparked a lot of buzz among fans and media outlets at the time. Many found it sweet and endearing that Salma Khan, like any doting mother, had her own ideas about who her son should marry. Sanaya Irani, known for her bubbly personality and stellar performances in shows like Miley Jab Hum Tum and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?, had clearly won over Salman’s mother with her charm.
While Salman Khan has remained elusive about his plans for marriage, this delightful episode remains one of the lighter and more memorable moments from his hosting tenure on Bigg Boss. Whether or not the superstar eventually decides to settle down, one thing is certain – his mother’s choice for him once brought a big smile to everyone’s faces.
For now, Salman continues to focus on his career and remains one of the most beloved figures in the entertainment industry.
