Salman briefly stepped outside the farmhouse to greet waiting photographers. In a simple black T-shirt and jeans, clean-shaven and relaxed, he cut a cake, shared slices, and posed for photos.

As a special treat for fans, Salman released the teaser of his upcoming film Battle of Galwan, a war drama inspired by the 2020 India-China clash in Ladakh.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film features Salman as Colonel Santosh Babu, alongside Chitrangda Singh. The intense teaser received strong reactions, with many praising his powerful screen presence even at 60.
Salman Khan has kept his birthdays private for years, often choosing Panvel or his Bandra home over flashy parties. This 60th celebration felt extra special, especially moments of him standing beside his father, which fans widely shared online.
As he enters a new decade, Salman continues to balance films, charity work, and a loyal fan base that shows no signs of slowing down. For many, the day perfectly captured who he is, calm in private, celebrated in public.
