Mothers' Day Special! When Salman Khan called his mom’s lap ‘Jannat’

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, we revisit a beautiful and emotional moment that captured Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in his most vulnerable and loving avatar, as a doting son. It was on February 8, 2022, when the actor melted hearts on social media by sharing a deeply personal selfie with his beloved mother, Salma Khan. In the picture, Salman was seen lying in his mother's lap, a blissful smile on his face, while Salma looked radiant in a white and blue kurta, exuding maternal warmth. Along with the picture, Salman wrote a simple yet soul-stirring caption: “Maa ki godh… Jannat.” Fans instantly showered love on the image, calling it one of Salman’s most heartwarming posts to date.


The photograph wasn’t just another celebrity post, it captured the kind of pure, irreplaceable bond that often goes unseen in the glare of stardom. For someone as larger-than-life as Salman Khan, this rare moment of raw affection stood out. The term ‘Jannat’ (heaven) used by Salman resonated with millions who consider their mother’s presence as the most divine comfort.

One from Salma Khan’s 83rd Birthday Bash
In another memorable family moment, Salman Khan celebrated his mother Salma’s 83rd birthday with much fanfare in 2023. Sharing a delightful clip of Salma dancing with her son Sohail Khan, Salman penned, “Mummmmmyyyyy happy birthday… Mother India, our world.” The video showed Salma and Sohail swaying to the music before sharing a warm hug. The intimate party was hosted at Arpita Khan’s new restaurant in Mumbai and attended by the entire Khan clan — Arbaaz, Alvira, Arpita, and close friends of the family.

Work front

On the work front, Salman Khan was last seen in AR Murugadoss’s directorial ‘Sikandar’, which unfortunately didn’t perform well at the box office and received mixed reviews.
