Among others, Salim Khan’s daughter Alvira Agnihotri also attended the anniversary dinner along with her husband, filmmaker Atul Agnihotri and their daughter Alizeh Agnihotri. Sonakshi Sinha, Zaheer Iqbal, Ishita Dutta and Vatsal Sheth also attended the celebration. Salman’s brother-in-law, Ayush Sharma was also seen arriving at the venue.

Salim Khan is known for writing for some of the Bollywood’s biggest hits – Sholay, Zanjeer and Deewar. He married Salma Khan (formerly Sushila Charak) in 1964. The couple share five children — Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail, Alvira and Arpita. In 1981, Salim Khan also married the dancer-actress Helen.

When Salman Khan Spoke About Salim Khan’s Marriage to Helen

Back in 1990, in an interview to Filmfare Magazine, Salman Khan had opened up about the phase of his life when his father, Salim Khan, married Helen. He shared that as he was a mumma’s boy, he could not bear that his mother was unhappy. The superstar said he hated when his mother used to wait for his father to come home, post the second marriage.

“My mom’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I can’t say why, I don’t think explanations are needed. We get along very well because basically, I’m a mama’s boy. I can’t bear to see her unhappy. She was very hurt when my father married again, I’d hate it when she’d wait up for him to come home,” he had said.

However, Salman revealed that his father had put in a lot of effort to make the four kids understand that he loved their mother. Salma took her time but gradually started to accept Helen and with time they became family.
