Salman Khan (Urdu:
سلمان
خان,
DevanÄ�garÄ«|Devanāgarī:
सलमान
ख़ान), born December 27, 1965, is
a Bollywood movie star. He rose to fame with the
hit film Maine Pyar Kiya and followed up with
megahits Andaz Apna Apna, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, and
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

Salman was born in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, into a
family with strong ties to the film industry.  His
father Salim Khan is a successful screenplay
writer. One of Salim Khan's wives (he has two) is 
the famous dancer Helen. Salman's brothers Sohail
Khan and Arbaaz Khan are also actors, if not as
successful as Salman.  Salman has has two younger
sisters, one married to actor Atul Agnihotri.

Salman has been in the news for some controversial
reasons: 

* He was charged with hunting an endangered
species, the Blackbuck. 
* He was arrested for drunk driving and vehicular
homicide. He lost control of his car and killed
three people who had been sleeping on a Mumbai
sidewalk. 
* The media had a field day with his romantic
misadventures (a rocky romance with actress
Aishwarya Rai, now ended). 
* The latest flap is the release of transcript of
what is claimed to be a taped mobile phone
conversation between Salman and Aishwarya. Khan
was allegedly trying to force Aishwarya to appear
at several events sponsored by the Mumbai
underworld, threatening her and boasting of his
connections to organized crime. 

Despite being considered as Bollywood's "badboy",
many people swear by his friendship and benevolent
nature. He is often involved in charitable causes
and is said to be a frequent visitor to old-age
homes and cancer hospitals. He is also very
strongly devoted to his friends and family. 

None of Salman's latest films has been as
successful as his earlier hits, but he is still
considered one of the top actors in Bollywood.
People still say that the industry is ruled by the
so-called "three Khans" (Shahrukh Khan, Aamir
Khan, and Salman Khan).

==Awards==

* Salman was given the Best Supporting Actor award
for his role in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, at the 1998
FilmFare Awards.
* He won the Best Sensational Actor award for his
role in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke at the 2002
Z-Gold Bollywood Awards.
* He was voted as the world's seventh-most
handsome man by the readers  of People's Magazine.

==Trivia==

He always appears in films wearing a bracelet with
a turquoise stone; his father wears a similar
"lucky" bracelet. He frequently appears in films
sans shirt -- he is a dedicated bodybuilder and
directors rarely miss a chance to show off the
results. His measurements are said to be: 

* Arms - 17 inches; 43.18 cm
* Chest - 42 inches; 106.68 cm
* Waist - 29 inches; 73.66 cm
* Hips - 40 inches; 101.6 cm
* Thighs - 23 inches; 58.42 cm
