Salman Khan's stylish appearance amid tight security at wedding in Mumbai goes VIRAL following recent breach at Galaxy Apartments
Bollywood megastar Salman Khan caught everyone's attention at a wedding event this past Saturday night, sparking excitement and widespread buzz across social media. Famous for his magnetic charm and iconic presence, the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam star made a stylish entrance wearing a sleek grey suit complemented by a blue shirt and his trademark bracelet.

Fans and attendees erupted with cheers and waves, with many holding their phones to record the moment. The frenzy briefly escalated into a near-stampede as everyone rushed to get closer to the superstar.

Multiple layers of protection, including his personal bodyguards and officers from the Mumbai Police, were deployed around the venue to safeguard the actor. Still, the crowd's excitement remained uncontrollable despite the heavy security presence. On the professional front, Salman Khan was last seen in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar, which also starred Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal. Unfortunately, the film did not fare well at the box office.
