Salman Khan celebrated his 60th birthday on December 27, 2025, with a private bash at his Panvel farmhouse, surrounded by family, close friends, and colleagues from the film industry. The celebrations began with the actor stepping out to cut a cake with the paparazzi and members of the media.

Khan sported a clean-shaven look. He was seen dressed in black, interacting with the media, and even sharing a hug with a veteran journalist. The clean-shaven look is reportedly for his upcoming film, "Battle of Galwan".

Staying true to tradition, the Panvel farmhouse was the center of the celebrations. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Mumbai was lit up in his honor. Inside, the celebrations remained a close-knit affair. A source revealed that the guest list prioritized long-standing personal and professional relationships. A special video tribute featuring messages from directors he has worked with throughout his career was prepared for the actor.

Salman's parents, Salim Khan and Salma Khan, arrived early, followed by his sister Arpita Khan Sharma, her husband Aayush Sharma, and their children, Ahil and Ayat. Arbaaz Khan, along with his wife Sshura Khan and their newborn daughter Sipaara, were also present. Sohail Khan's elder son Nirvaan and Arbaaz Khan's son Arhaan were also spotted at the venue.

Among the friends from the industry were Randeep Hooda with his pregnant wife Lin Laishram, Genelia Deshmukh with her sons Riaan and Rahyl, MS Dhoni and Sakshi, Tabu, Karisma Kapoor, Ramesh Taurani, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Sangeeta Bijlani.

While the celebrations were private, the makers of "Battle of Galwan" unveiled the film's first look on December 27. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and also stars Chitrangda Singh. It is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and is expected to portray the bravery of Indian soldiers. Khan is reportedly playing the role of a Senior Army Officer.
