Salman Khan Mobbed, Urges Crowd Protect Children

Salman Khan arrived at Ashish Shelar’s pandal wearing a black T-shirt and black pants; another report described him as wearing a beanie and having a tilak on his forehead.
Before visiting Ashish Shelar’s residence, Khan had also attended the Ambanis’ Ganesh Chaturthi celebration, making the pandal appearance part of a broader series of festival visits.
During the family aarti at Sohail Khan’s residence, Salman performed the ritual anti-clockwise and was corrected by his sister Arpita Khan Sharma; the moment later drew attention online.
The family gathering at Sohail Khan’s house included Arpita Khan Sharma, Aayush Sharma and other Bollywood guests, including Varun Sharma and members of Sohail Khan’s Alliance project such as Vanshaj, Kushal Tandon and Delbar Arya; guests were seen dancing before the visarjan.
Khan’s upcoming film with Nayanthara, tentatively titled SVC63, is backed by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations and is scheduled for a theatrical release on Eid 2027; he is also set to appear in Maatrubhumi.
Salman Khan was mobbed by fans and paparazzi after visiting politician Ashish Shelar's Ganpati pandal in Mumbai on Thursday, forcing the actor to plead with the crowd for space. ABP Live reported that Khan made repeated requests with folded hands, asking people to clear a path so he could reach his car. The Bollywood star also instructed his security team to be careful around children, briefly stopping to interact with young fans caught in the chaos.
Khan arrived at the pandal wearing a black T-shirt and black pants to offer prayers during the Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. Aaj Tak News reported that hundreds of fans and photographers surrounded him as he tried to leave, blocking his path to his vehicle. Videos showed the actor repeatedly asking the crowd to step back. His heavy security struggled to manage the throng despite their presence.
The situation became so intense that Khan had to use hand gestures and verbal appeals to gain access to his car. Awaz the Voice noted that during the commotion, the actor stopped his security personnel from pushing a child in the crowd. He took time to acknowledge the young fan despite the mounting pressure to leave the scene.
The Ashish Shelar pandal visit was part of a larger Ganesh Chaturthi tour for Khan. Earlier in the day, he had attended the Ambanis' celebration, making multiple festival appearances across the city. Later, Khan headed to his brother Sohail Khan's residence for a family aarti ceremony. Zoom TV Entertainment reported that the actor performed the ritual anti-clockwise, which drew family attention.
At Sohail Khan's house, Khan's sister Arpita Khan Sharma corrected his ritual technique during the aarti. The family gathering included Arpita, her husband Aayush Sharma, and Bollywood guests like Varun Sharma. After prayers, family members and guests danced during the visarjan procession, turning the event into a full evening of celebrations.
Khan continues hosting Bigg Boss 20, keeping him in the public eye during the festival season. Zoom TV Entertainment noted that his busy schedule includes multiple appearances and professional commitments. The actor is juggling his television work with film projects, managing both fame and the demands of celebrity appearances across the city.
Khan's next major film project pairs him with South Indian star Nayanthara in an action thriller directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Zoom TV Entertainment reported that the untitled film, backed by producer Dil Raju, is scheduled for a theatrical release on Eid 2027. Khan is also set to appear in another project called Maatrubhumi, expanding his film slate significantly.
