Salman Khan Spotted at Mumbai Airport

Mumbai: Renowned Bollywood actor Salman Khan was recently seen with a clean-shaven appearance as he concluded filming for his latest war movie, Galwan. The star was spotted at Kalina airport in Mumbai on Saturday, accompanied by a significant security detail. He took a moment to acknowledge the media present before proceeding through security.

Previously, Salman had sported a moustache for his role in Galwan, maintaining that look for several months while filming the reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ and during his Dabangg Tour.

After a rigorous schedule, the actor appears to be enjoying a well-deserved break. The current season of ‘Bigg Boss’ is set to conclude with its finale on Sunday, just ahead of his 60th birthday celebration on December 27, 2025.

In Galwan, Salman showcases a new look, reminiscent of his iconic character Chulbul Pandey from the ‘Dabangg’ series, known for his moustache.

Dressed in combat fatigues adorned with insignia, Salman’s outfit reflects the historical context of the Galwan stand-off, which occurred between India and China in June 2020 during the initial wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The character's attire includes the old Personal Camouflage Disruptive Pattern Material (PC DPM), which has since been updated to the New Battle Dress Uniform (NBDU) introduced on January 15, 2022, during the Army Day Parade in New Delhi.

A notable detail in the image is a wound depicted on the actor's face, which he captioned with “#BattleOfGalwan.”

The film narrates the events surrounding the Galwan stand-off, highlighting the tensions between India and its neighboring country.
