Inside Sangeeta Bijlani’s glam bash: Salman’s entry, the cute ex-factor & viral pictures

Sangeeta Bijlani turned 65 recently, and her birthday celebration in Mumbai's Bandra has become the talk of the town. While the evening was a star-studded affair, what truly caught fans' attention were the inside pictures that are now taking over the internet. From warm hugs to candid smiles, the bash gave fans a peek into Sangeeta's close-knit circle and the highlight, without doubt, was superstar Salman Khan's appearance.

Salman, who shares a long and well-documented past with Sangeeta, arrived at the venue dressed in a classic black T-shirt and denim jeans. His new hair colour and visibly fitter look sent the internet into a frenzy. Initially seen with a serious expression as he exited the venue, the actor's mood brightened up in an instant upon seeing a young fan. A viral video shows Salman warmly interacting with the child and even posing for a photo, a moment fans are calling "pure gold."

Adding to the buzz, actor Arjun Bijlani shared a heartfelt post featuring some candid moments from the party. The carousel included a sweet picture of Arjun posing with his wife, the birthday girl Sangeeta, and Salman. "Happiest birthday @sangeetabijlani9… Such a sweet soul. I think Bijlanis are special… day just got better with @beingsalmankhan… lots of love bhai!!! Wifey u look stunning as always," he wrote.

Fans were quick to flood social media with praises for Salman's respectful and affectionate behavior toward his former flame. The two were once one of Bollywood's most talked-about couples and nearly got married in the '90s. While life took them on different paths, they've always maintained a dignified, warm friendship, a rarity in the entertainment world.

On the professional front, Salman is gearing up for his much-anticipated action drama Battle of Galwaan, which has already sparked excitement after he teased the film's poster recently. The film is expected to mark a new chapter in his career, showcasing him in an intense, patriotic avatar.
