When Salman Khan called marriage ‘a funny thing'; joked about father Salim Khan marrying twice: ‘He's really happy with two wives'
Even though he is set to turn 60 this year, Salman Khan remains unmarried. Although he has been linked to various female celebrities over the years, with the most recent rumour being Romanian actor, singer and television presenter Iulia Vantur, Salman remains 'officially single'. He has, nonetheless, shared his thoughts on marriage multiple times; sometimes seriously, sometimes in jest. Interestingly, he once said that marriage is inherently 'a funny thing', making it a fertile theme for films to explore comedy, especially around the events that unfold in a couple's journey. 'I think marriage is a funny thing. Movies like Biwi No 1 (1999) and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) basically focused on that. There's a lot of (scope for) comedy, even in fights that happen among couples. 'Aapke maa ne yeh kyu bola? Khane pe kyun bola? (Why did your mom say this? Why did you invite me for food?)' There's also the saas-bahu stories, and Ekta Kapoor is making money out of just that,' he shared during a chat with Lehren. Watch | Navjot Singh Sidhu confirms return to The Great Indian Kapil Show, shocked Archana Puran Singh responds: 'Patti wapas baandh de' Mentioning that although people say getting married is the best thing, Salman Khan pointed out that he has seen quite a few who aren't as happy in married life as they appear. He even joked about his father, legendary screenwriter Salim Khan, who married twice, mentioning that Salim might be the only person he knows who's actually happy with two wives. 'My dad is really happy because he has two wives. And they're both happy too. They get along with each other fine,' he said. While Salim Khan tied the knot with Salma Khan (née Sushila Charak) in 1964, he married actor Helen Richardson in 1981. Salman is currently going through a rough patch in his career, with his movies not working at the box office. After the underperformance of Tiger 3, his most recent Sikandar, where he shared the screen with Rashmika Mandanna, had also bombed. Sikandar was helmed by AR Murugadoss.
