In a glittering event in Mumbai, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan once again proved why he remains an unrivaled icon in India’s entertainment industry. The actor brought his signature ‘Bhai’ style to the stage, dancing energetically to ‘Jalwa’ from his hit film “Wanted.” The audience couldn’t help but cheer and applaud as he performed the famous hook step, fully embracing the festivity and excitement of the event.
The occasion was part of a larger celebration organized to unveil eco-friendly Ganesha idols ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi 2024. Held in association with the Divyaj Foundation, the event highlighted sustainable practices for the festival. Salman’s casual attire—a light-colored t-shirt and jeans—did nothing to downplay his larger-than-life presence. Accompanied by celebrated singers Kailash Kher and Sonu Nigam, Salman posed for photos with the eco-friendly idols, promoting both environmental responsibility and cultural celebration.
The event started with a bang as Salman took the stage, performing to his famous song ‘Jalwa.’ His energetic dance moves thrilled the crowd, and when he blew kisses to the audience, the excitement in the room was palpable. The actor’s dazzling performance added a unique spark to the event, making it a night to remember for everyone present.
Earlier in the day, other notable Bollywood figures graced the event. Salman arrived alongside his sister Alvira and actress Sonali Bendre, both of whom played significant roles in promoting the eco-friendly message. The sight of Salman and Sonali greeting each other warmly took many fans down memory lane, reminding them of their cherished roles in the film “Hum Saath-Saath Hain.” The pictures and videos capturing their friendly interaction soon went viral, giving the fans a nostalgic trip back to the beloved film where Salman (Prem) and Sonali (Preeti) played each other’s love interests.
Salman’s presence was not limited to mere dance performances at this event. Engaging fully with the occasion, he posed with several eco-friendly Ganesha idols, signaling his support for sustainable celebrations. This move resonated with many, highlighting the importance of balancing festival fervor with environmental consciousness.
But Salman’s engagement with his adoring fans didn’t end there. He shared a snippet of the event on his social media, giving a wider audience a glimpse of the festivities. This not only widened the event’s reach but also underscored Salman’s role as both an entertainer and a supporter of eco-friendly causes.
