Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has recently taken to social media to commend the exceptional talent of 15-year-old singer Jonas Conner, while also urging the public to support young artists and avoid exploiting them. Khan, who is currently filming "Battle of Galwan" in Ladakh, expressed his admiration for Conner's ability to transform his struggles into remarkable music.

On September 14, 2025, Khan shared a picture of Jonas Conner on his Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts, highlighting three of the singer's songs: "Father in a Bible," "Peace with Pain," and "Oh Appalachia". In his post, Salman stated he had never witnessed a 15-year-old transform his struggles into something so remarkable and blessed Jonas Conner. He also mentioned that he was listening to Conner's songs on repeat.

Khan further emphasized the importance of supporting such young talents, stating that if we don't support such children, then what is the point. He also acknowledged that while Jonas Conner sings in English, there are many such talented children in India as well. This statement underscores Khan's broader message about nurturing and encouraging young talent, regardless of their background or language.

Salman Khan's shoutout to Jonas Conner is particularly noteworthy because the Bollywood icon doesn't often celebrate musicians. The actor, currently filming "Battle of Galwan," seems to be enjoying the scenic landscapes of Ladakh while listening to various music.

In "Battle of Galwan," Salman Khan will portray Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, a real-life hero who sacrificed his life during the 2020 Galwan Valley confrontation. Photos have surfaced of the actor meeting with Lt Governor of Ladakh Ravinder Gupta. The official X account of the Office of the Lt Governor of Ladakh shared images from Salman's meeting with Ravinder Gupta.

To prepare for the role of Colonel B. Santosh Babu, Salman Khan underwent rigorous physical and mental training. According to a source close to the production, filming in the thin air of Leh poses challenges, but Khan is dedicated to honoring the gravity of the story. The source also revealed that the AK-47 he wields is merely a symbol, and the true challenge lies in authentically and respectfully embodying a national hero.
