Personal life

He lives in Galaxy Apartments, Bandra, Mumbai.[1] He also has a 150 acre plot in Panvel, which has 3 bungalows, swimming pool and gym.[1] Khan is a dedicated bodybuilder. He has a 42 inch chest, 17 inch biceps and a 30 inch waist.[1]

Khan has never married. In 1999, he began dating Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai; their relationship was often reported in the media until the couple separated in 2001. Khan started dating actress Katrina Kaif but after years of speculations, Kaif admitted in an interview in 2011 that she was in a serious relationship with Salman Khan for several years, which ended in 2010.[80]

In August 2011 he admitted he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder commonly known as the suicide disease. In an interview he said that he has been quietly suffering it for the past seven years, but now the pain’s become unbearable. It has even affected his voice, making it much harsher.[81]

Controversies

Khan has been the subject of several controversies, including certain legal troubles. On 28 September 2002, Khan was arrested for rash and negligent driving. His car had run into a bakery in Mumbai; one person who was sleeping on the pavement outside the bakery died and three others were injured in the mishap.[82] Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped.[83]

His relationship with actress Aishwarya Rai was a well publicised topic in the Indian media.[84] After their break-up in March 2002, Rai accused him of harassing her. She claimed that Khan had not been able to come to terms with their break-up and was hounding her; her parents lodged a complaint against him.[85] In 2005, news outlets released what was said to be an illicit copy of a mobile phone call recorded in 2001 by the Mumbai police. It appeared to be a call in which he threatened Rai, in an effort to force her to appear at social events held by Mumbai crime figures. The call featured boasts of connections to organised crime and derogatory comments about other actors. However, the alleged tape was tested in the government's Forensic lab in Chandigarh, which concluded that it was fake.[86][87]

On 17 February 2006, Khan was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting the Chinkara, an endangered species. The sentence was stayed by a higher court during appeal.[88] On 10 April 2006, he was handed a five year jail term and remanded to Jodhpur jail until 13 April when he was granted bail.[89] On 24 July 2012, Rajasthan High Court finalised charges against Salman Khan and his other colleagues in the endangered black buck killing case, paving way for start of the trial.[90]

On 16 July 2008 Khan was involved in a heated verbal altercation with actor Shahrukh Khan. Eyewitnesses reveal that the verbal duel between the duo got so heated up that they almost became physical and on the verge of punching each other. Salman had thrown a lavish birthday party for girlfriend Katrina at Olive Bar and Kitchen, Bandra, in which all the bigwigs of filmdom were invited. According to a newspaper, “Salman was already high when Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan walked in. After downing a few more drinks, Salman started picking on Shahrukh.” Shahrukh Khan had reportedly turned down Salman’s request to do a guest appearance in Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is being produced by Salman and Sohail. This did not go well with Salman, who had gone out of his way to do favors for Shahrukh. Salman had made a special appearance in Shahrukh Khan’s home production ‘Om Shanti Om’ and also appeared on KBC with girlfriend Katrina. Salman was miffed by Shahrukh’s attitude and chose to express his resentment at the wrong time. The two Khans were sitting close, surrounded by a few close friends, when Salman started passing sarcastic remarks at Shahrukh. Initially, Shahrukh tried to laugh it off but when the remarks became too abusive, he began trading insult for insult. Salman adversely commented at Shahrukh’s show Paanchvi Paas, calling it a big flop. The star added that Shahrukh is trying to sabotage his show – Dus ka Dum. “You are a matlabi insaan. You only call people when you need them, and then don’t keep in touch,” Salman added. Shahrukh reacted strongly saying that no one wants to watch Salman’s show. At this, Salman asked him to keep quiet or he would beat him up. This made Shahrukh Khan very aggressive and he said that he would beat Salman in his party, in front of his friends. The two glared at each other and things would have turned ugly had Shahrukh’s wife Gauri Khan not intervened. She expressed her wish to leave immediately. Shahrukh Khan allowed his wife to take his arm and they left the party. To this date Salman and Shahrukh, although holding each other in high regard and respect, have not come to terms. This incident has led to one of Bollywood's most famous feuds.[91]

On September 2010, Khan was reported to have claimed during an interview to a Pakistani channel that the 26/11 attacks got a lot of attention because the "elite" were targeted.[92][93] During the interview the actor had said – "It was the elite that was targeted this time. Five star hotels and stuff. So they panicked. Then they got up and spoke about it. My question is why not before. Attacks have happened in trains and small towns too, but no one talked about it so much."[92][93] Khan also said that Pakistan was not to be blamed for it, and that the Indian security forces had failed.[94] Khan's comments had drawn strong reactions from Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Chagan Bhujbal, Shiv Sena, BJP and other political parties.[95] The comments were also condemned by Ujwal Nikam, Special Prosecutor in the 26/11 trial.[95] Khan later apologised for his comments.[92]
