Early Life and Education

Despite his massive success as an actor and the family's legacy in Bollywood; Success came much later on for Salman Khan. He had an overall rough childhood as the family was going through hardships and financial difficulties. They were  still free-spirited as individuals finding small ways to enjoy themselves.

Salman, largely hesitant and shy about his past, once shared a piece of personal memory where he talked about the times when his father bought them a 3000rs cycle when his salary itself was 1000rs at the time.

His humble early life beginnings taught him the value of hard work and dedication that he later used in his acting career.

Education has never been his strong quality as he's always been a person who's more into physical and artistic activities like cycling, football, painting, and acting. Don't let his lack of education prowess fool you, as he has an impeccable command of the English language.

Career

He has acted in more than 100 roles for more than three decades in every genre, whether comedy, action, romance, or family drama; he's managed to make a considerable mark in the film industry. In return for their love, Khan has made the festival of Eid shine brighter for his fans by giving them eidi by ensuring that at least one of his movies release at this auspicious date.

Sallu has been part of some of the most iconic Bollywood movies like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Hum Dil de Chuke hai Sanam, and Karan Arjun. However, Dabangg (2010) gained even more of a loyal fan following as the 2010s have been nothing but a smashing commercial success, with every movie earning 100 crore opening weekends.

He gained commercial success, but he also garnered critical acclaim for acting and producing movies.
