Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment sees snake scare; officials safely rescue reptile

A snake was rescued from the premises of Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai on Monday. A snake wrangler was called to the spot, and officials also arrived to assist with the rescue operation.

Here's what happened at Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments

According to the Hindustan Times, the snake was discovered below the residential building where Salman Khan lives with his family. Visuals from the scene show the wrangler calmly pursuing the reptile, catching it by its tail, coiling it around his hand, and eventually placing it in a bag before handing it over to the authorities. Given the manner in which the snake was handled without protective gear, it is believed to be non-poisonous. Officials were also present on the ground to support the wrangler's efforts.

It is not yet known who alerted the snake catcher or whether the snake had entered the building before being caught downstairs.

Salman Khan's projects

After 'Tiger 3' (2023), his 2025 release 'Sikandar', directed by AR Murugadoss, failed to meet box office expectations. More recently, he appeared in a cameo as Jiva Mahala in Riteish Deshmukh's Marathi-Hindi film 'Raja Shivaji', which has gone on to become the highest-grossing Marathi film ever, surpassing the long-standing record held by 'Sairat'.



Salman is set for a major release on August 14, 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace', directed by Apoorva Lakhia. Previously titled 'Battle of Galwan', the film was renamed to avoid diplomatic sensitivities with China, and its narrative was also broadened accordingly. Salman plays the real-life Colonel B. Santosh Babu and has undergone a physical transformation for the role. The film also stars Chitrangada Singh.

He is additionally set to appear in a cameo alongside Sanjay Dutt in the Arabic production '7 Dogs'.

Salman is also currently filming an untitled project opposite Nayanthara. Directed by Telugu filmmaker Vamshi Paidipally and produced by Dil Raju, the film recently went on floors in Mumbai following a pooja ceremony. Reports described it as an ambitious, large-scale action entertainer with powerful roles crafted for both lead actors, with high-intensity action sequences being shot on specially erected sets.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
