In recent family news captivating the Bollywood circuit, esteemed screenwriter Salim Khan has made headlines by candidly expressing his support for his son Arbaaz Khan’s recent nuptials to Sshura Khan. The newlyweds exchanged their vows in a close-knit Nikkah ceremony that was witnessed by close family members and an assembly of dear friends.
Salim Khan, whose contributions to the Indian film industry span several decades, remarked on the new chapter in his son’s life with a large-hearted perspective. During an interaction with News18 Showsha, the film industry veteran shared his holistic view on the marriage, saying, “they decided to get married. Mere hisaab se, ye koi gunaah nahi hai (according to me, it is not a crime).”
The revered writer continued on to underscore his stance on personal independence within family decisions, stating, “I don’t think there was any need for a discussion. He is young, educated, and mature, and he can make his own decisions. There is no need for my permission. If he is happy, then nothing else matters.” It is evident that autonomy and individual happiness stand paramount in the Khan family values.
Discussing the moment Arbaaz shared his intentions of remarrying with his father, Salim Khan recounted his reaction as, “It’s fine,” while reinforcing his philosophy that, “It’s better not to interfere in anyone’s life as it causes problems.”
The ceremony itself was a sophisticated affair at Arpita Khan Sharma’s residence in Mumbai, that saw the gathered ‘Khan-daan,’ which included not just the brothers—Sohail Khan, and Bollywood megastar Salman Khan—but also Arbaaz’s son, Arhaan Khan, as well as mother Salma Khan, and the graceful Helen. Other notable figures in attendance were Alvira Agnihotri, Atul Agnihotri, and friends from within the industry such as Raveena Tandon, Riddhima Pandit, and the couple Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh.
Adding to the celebration, a video captured Salman Khan, known for his work in films such as ‘Tiger 3’, grooving delightfully with Arhaan Khan to the melodious renditions of singer Harshdeep Kaur. For the special occasion, Salman donned a traditional grey Pathani kurta, radiating the blend of grandeur and familial warmth present at the event.
Arbaaz Khan took to his social media platforms to share cherished moments with his bride from the ceremony. His caption conveyed the emotion of the day poignantly: “In the presence of our loved ones, me and mine begin a lifetime of love and togetherness from this day on! Need all your blessings and good wishes on our special day!” The internet reacted with an outpour of love and congratulatory messages as fans and followers reveled in the couple’s joy.
Salim Khan’s approbation towards his son’s decision to remarry is significant, as it reflects a broader societal shift towards acceptance and progressiveness within personal relationships. This event not only marks a uniting of hearts but serves as a testament to the evolving perspectives on marriage and familial expectations among public figures in India.
The undercurrents of love, celebration, and open-hearted acceptance of personal choices have been an integral part of the narrative woven around Arbaaz Khan’s journey towards a second marriage. The patriarch Salim Khan’s endorsement echoes a clear message: personal happiness and freedom punctuates the ethos of the Khan family, which many find refreshing in a world where public figures often face scrutiny for their personal decisions.
As the couple embarks on a new journey together, they carry with them not just the blessings of their families, but also the good wishes of countless well-wishers. Arbaaz and Sshura Khan stand poised to navigate their shared life with the support of their kin, united under a philosophy of love, freedom, and happiness.
