Salman Khan made his entry in the television industry in a grand way with Sony Entertainment Television's 10 Ka Dum. According to many reports, the show helped Sony regain its position in third place in the Indian television ratings. The show was unique in that contestants just had to go through 5 questions to win a grand prize of 10 crore rupees! Salman's unique hosting style and the abundance of celebrities made the show a big success. After 2 seasons, though, it was wrapped up as Salman moved onto another channel with another show.
In 2010, Salman forayed into the realm of Bigg Boss with Season 4. Bigg Boss became synonymous with Salman Khan from that season itself. It has reached a point where if Salman isn't hosting, then the show isn't considered worthwhile watching by much of the audience. In Season 5, when Sanjay Dutt was originally chosen to replace Salman Khan, the show faired badly in TRPs and thus Salman had to be brought in to co-host the show instead of just being a guest appearance. Today, people turn to Salman whenever they wish for him to take up an issue of contention in the show. It would not be wrong to say there is NO big boss without Salman Khan
Salman Khan made his first movie appearance with the 1988 film Biwi Ho To Aisi, but many consider Maine Pyaar Kiya, released in 1989, his true debut as in Biwi Ho To Aisi, his voice was dubbed by someone else.
Maine Pyar Kiya became an overnight success, becoming one of India's highest-grossing films. The movie earned him his first award, Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut, and a nomination, Filmfare Award for Best Actor. The movie was such a big success that it was dubbed in English as When Love Calls, in Spanish as Te Amo, in Telugu as Prema Paavuraalu, in Tamil as Kaadhal Oru Kavithai, and in Malayalam as Ina Praavukal. Its famous Friends cap became a rage at that time and many of its dialogues have been immortalized in Salman's top 50 dialogues.
For the next few years, Salman starred in several films, but the only other success to his name was the 1991 film Saajan starring Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit along with him. The film was a critical and financial success, but the film did not earn him any nominations or awards.
In 1994, Salman had 2 hit movies: Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Andaz Apna Apna. It took a while for Andaz Apna Apna to be recognized for the quality piece that it was, but today it is considered a cult film. On the other hand, Hum Aapke Hain Koun swept everyone off its feet and is considered one of the biggest Bollywood hits ever, while also being the most popular film of that year. While it didn't win Salman any awards or nominations, it won 3 Filmfare Awards and a National Award.
In 1995, he went on to star in Karan Arjun with Shahrukh Khan. The film became the second biggest hit of that year and got Salman another nomination in Filmfare Award for Best Actor. His other film, Veergati, failed to impress at the box office.

Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya was also one of the biggest commercial successes of that year. Recently, Karan Johar revealed that Salman had wanted to appear in torn jeans and a t-shirt in the very popular song "Sajanji Ghar Aaye" from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He had to get down on his knees and beg Salman to appear in the black suit that later went on to steal many female's hearts as they wished their own sajans would appear in that same suit.

Hum Saath Saath Hain and Biwi No. 1 were the highest-grossing films and Biwi No. 1 got him a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Comic Role. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was a critical and commercial success, along with its music, and earned him another nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega was considered ahead of its time and made critics take note of Salman Khan as well.

1. Sultan: It has to be the toughest role for any actor to perform esp at the age of 49. He went through a very rigorous and tough training to do this film. He constantly put on and lost weight to define the years of his character Sultan Ali Khan. It was not only emotionally trolling but also physically.

3. Tere Naam: It was a remake to already popular movie hence expectations were high. However, Salman stepped into a rugged, intense, passionate Radhe and made him iconic. Radhe was a person who everyone would love to hate. Salman portrayed each and every emotion of Radhe in a very apt way. Radhe obsession turned love for Neerija, his mental condition, his struggle to reach to his love before the marriage happens, and then the remorse to not save her. JUST OUTSTANDING SALMAN!
