Salman Khan delighted two young fans amid a crowded Ganpati darshan exit in Mumbai, asking security to bring them closer before shaking hands with the children. The Bollywood superstar’s warm gesture brought smiles during the festive gathering.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan shared a heartwarming moment with two young fans while leaving Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar’s residence in Mumbai on Thursday night after attending Ganpati darshan. Despite being surrounded by a large crowd of fans, photographers and security personnel, the actor made time to acknowledge the children who had been waiting eagerly to meet him.
Videos captured by IANS showed Salman making his way through the packed gathering after the festive visit. As fans and photographers crowded around him, the actor was seen asking people to make way and give him some space. He also folded his hands while requesting those around him to allow him to move through the crowd.
Amid the commotion, Salman noticed two young boys standing among the people waiting for a glimpse of the actor. Rather than simply continuing toward his vehicle, he asked his security personnel to bring the children closer to him.
Once the children reached him, Salman stopped briefly and shook hands with them. The interaction visibly delighted the young fans, who were seen smiling broadly after meeting the Bollywood star. The brief exchange was captured on camera and quickly highlighted the actor’s effort to acknowledge his younger admirers despite the heavy crowd surrounding him.
Salman attended the Ganpati darshan in a casual yet festive appearance. He was dressed in an all-black outfit and completed his look with a beanie and scarf. A tilak was also visible on his forehead after he offered prayers during the religious visit.
The actor’s appearance comes amid a week of Ganpati celebrations with members of the Khan family. Earlier, Salman was seen participating in Ganpati visarjan at his brother Sohail Khan’s residence. He joined family members for the aarti before the idol immersion ceremony.
During the visarjan rituals, Salman was seen performing the aarti in the wrong direction. His sister Arpita Khan Sharma noticed the mistake and immediately guided him, after which the actor followed her instructions and continued participating in the ceremony.
The family gathering brought together several members of the Khan family, including Arpita Khan Sharma, Alvira Khan Agnihotri and Sohail Khan, along with younger members of the family. Arhaan Khan was also seen assisting with the immersion proceedings.
Salman’s latest interaction with the two children came against the backdrop of intense public attention surrounding his appearances. The actor frequently attracts large crowds whenever he steps out, with fans and photographers gathering to catch a glimpse or capture pictures and videos.
At the Mumbai Ganpati darshan, the crowd made it difficult for Salman to move freely. However, his decision to stop and personally greet the two young fans provided a brief and memorable moment during the otherwise chaotic exit.

For the two children, the brief handshake with Salman became a memorable part of the occasion as they finally got an opportunity to meet the superstar they had been waiting to see.
