Salman Khan Reveals Maternal Grandfather Opposed Parents' Marriage for Five Years
Salman Khan shared on Bigg Boss 20 that his maternal grandfather opposed his parents' marriage, refusing to speak to his father, Salim Khan, for five years. The objection was not religious but stemmed from concerns about Salim's uncertain career as an aspiring actor in the film industry. The family rift ended after the birth of Salman’s brother Sohail, when his grandfather reconciled and expressed regret for missing his grandchildren's early years. Salman also recently apologised to his father for any past shortcomings.
