Did Salman Khan flaunt new hair colour for former girlfriend Sangeeta Bijlani's birthday bash?

At Sangeeta Bijlani’s recent birthday celebration, Salman Khan made a low-key yet striking appearance, sparking curiosity with his visibly stern expression. While he posed for paparazzi, it was hard to miss his unusually serious face—an image quickly picked up by social media users and photographers.

But the mood didn’t stay tense for long. A heartwarming moment unfolded when a young fan approached the actor. The encounter seemed to instantly soften Salman’s demeanour, revealing a gentler side that fans often admire. This candid moment quickly became the talk of the town, stealing some spotlight from the birthday bash itself.

Sangeeta Bijlani and Salman Khan share a well-known history that dates back to their early years in the industry. The two met while working on a TV commercial and went on to have a relationship that lasted nearly a decade. At one point, they were reportedly on the verge of getting married, but the relationship ended before they could tie the knot. Sangeeta later married cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin in 1996, though the couple eventually divorced in 2019.

Despite their past, Sangeeta and Salman have remained on cordial terms. She is often seen attending parties and events hosted by Salman and his family, and her birthday celebration this year was no different.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next film, Battle of Galwan, a patriotic drama based on the real-life 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. Earlier this month, the actor unveiled the poster, where he appears in an army uniform with a blood-smeared face. The motion teaser features the tagline: “Over 15,000 feet above sea level, India fought its most brutal battle without firing a single bullet.”

Salman was last seen in Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film featured Rashmika Mandanna as the lead actress, along with Kajal Aggarwal and others in supporting roles. Despite the star-studded cast, the movie did not fare well with critics and struggled at the box office.

As fans continue to speculate about his next moves, Salman’s composed yet emotional appearance at Sangeeta’s party added a layer of curiosity to his otherwise guarded public persona.
