Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has recently opened up about his past relationships and the desire to have children some day.
In an appearance on the newly-launched talk show Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle, Salman reflected on why his past relationships didn’t work out. “When a partner grows more than the other partner, that is when differences start coming in. That’s when the insecurity starts setting in and so they both need to grow together,” he explained.
“Both need to get off each other’s backs. I believe in that.”
Aamir Khan, who was also a guest, interrupted to ask more directly about Salman’s romantic history. To this, the Tiger 3 actor responded with a touch of his trademark, “Yaar, nahi jama toh nahi jama [If it didn’t work, it didn’t work]. If there is anyone to blame, I am the one to blame.”
The highlight of the conversation, however, came when Salman expressed his heartfelt desire to become a father. “Children, I will have, one day, soon,” he said, offering a rare glimpse into his personal aspirations. When host Twinkle Khanna asked, “Really? When?” Salman replied casually, “Whenever,” leaving the door wide open for speculation.
Despite years of media speculation around his marriage and personal life, Salman has maintained that fatherhood remains a dream he still wishes to fulfill, even if it happens without marriage. He dismissed the idea of adoption when asked, saying, “Na, never.”
Kajol asked if he wanted to pass on the Khan name to future generations. Salman said, “What legacy? What have we done? It’s not like we’ve delivered rocket science.”
Kajol also recalled meeting Salman when she was just 12 years old, jokingly calling him “uncle”. Aamir spoke about how his bond with Salman deepened after his divorce, with the two spending long evenings together in quiet companionship. They also discussed parenting, with Salman commenting on how kids tend to stay closer to their mothers.
“Kids get closer to their mom’s side… ghar bhi chalana parta hai bhai [You also have to run the house, brother],” he added with a laugh.
Salman Khan has reportedly been in multiple relationships over the years, including with several leading ladies from Bollywood. He has often faced questions about his plans to get married, but has consistently dodged the topic or responded indirectly.
