Bollywood Actor Salman Khan, legal name Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan, is the firstborn of the celebrated screenwriter of the 1970s Salim Khan (Seeta Aur Geeta, Zanjeer, Sholay, Deewar, Don) and his first wife Salma Khan. Born on December 27, 1965, in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, he is the eldest of the Khan pack - two brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, and two sisters Alvira and Arpita (she was adopted by his family). SalmanKhan spent the first few years of schooling at the illustrious Scindia School in Gwalior, followed by St Stanislaus High School in Mumbai. Being part of a  Bollywood film family, movies were an intrinsic part of Salman’s childhood existence. So naturally, during his growing-up years, he wanted to be a writer/director. But coz of his good looks Salman Khan got into modeling which propelled a career in acting. Bhai, as he is fondly acknowledged by beloveds, made his first Bollywood Hindi film appearance with a brief role in Rekha’s Biwi Ho Toh Aisi (1988), but it was the lead part in Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) that marked his arrival in Bollywood. He went on to do a series of Bollywood movies that retained his position of a hot star in the early 90s, but once again Sooraj Barjatya’s film Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994) pushed his star status to the next level. Another turning point of his career happened with Prabhu Deva’s Wanted, followed by Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard which established him as the blockbuster actor in the early 2000s. Despite the weak storylines of these Bollywood films, they turned to be the biggest grosser in the respective years.
