Salman Khan asks 'Aap logonki tabiyat kaisi hai' amid social media chatter about his health & ageing
Mumbai, July 20
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has responded to the social media chatter surrounding his health and appearance in his trademark style and wit.
Instead of directly addressing the criticism, the superstar shared latest pictures of himself on his social media account and turned the question back on everyone.
Salman dropped a series of black-and-white portraits of himself sporting a dark outfit and cowboy cap.
Accompanying the post was pointed caption, "Aap logon ki tabiyat kaisi hai?" (How is everyone's health?)
The post comes shortly after the actor's latest appearance at the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) office went viral on social media.
Videos from the event prompted a flood of reactions online, with a lot many netizens expressing concern over the 60-year-old actor's health. Others also mocked his appearance and suggested that age had caught up with him.
One user wrote, "Salman Khan has aged. He is 60. Time never stops for anyone. No matter how iconic someone is, time eventually catches up."
Another commented, "Seeing this actually hurts. You can literally see how exhausted and unwell he looks in his eyes."
A third user questioned, "Guys what's wrong with Salman Khan? Just look at his face."
Another netizen commented, "Salman Khan has aged the worst among all the 90s actors. This is what happens when you take shortcuts and steroids. Kids, just stay lean, eat healthy food and build a natural body. The biggest fraud this guy is going to pull on his fans in his upcoming movies is hiding his bloated, ubli hui body with heavy VFX again and will make those fools believe its all real."
The superstar also found support from his fans, many of whom called out the age-shaming. One user wrote, "There is nothing wrong with Salman Khan. This is just a 60+ year old citizen without any make-up."
On the work front, Salman is gearing up for the release of 'Maatrubhoomi', directed by Apoorva Lakhia.

Honestly, I get that he's 60, but the comments about his looks are too harsh. The man has done so much for the industry and charity. We should respect his privacy and not age-shame anyone. The black and white photos look cool though! 👍
I'm a fan, but I do think he needs to rest more. The SRA office videos showed he looked tired. But age-shaming is not cool. The criticism about steroids is also unfair—many factors affect health. Hope he takes care and comes back stronger in Maatrubhoomi!
Social media trolls are ruthless. Salman's response was classic—turning the question back on them. He's a legend for a reason. Time catches everyone, but his charisma remains intact. The photos are artistic. People need to stop comparing him to his younger days.
The steroid comments are just nasty. Many actors use supplements, but that's no one's business. Salman has given us decades of entertainment. Let him age gracefully. The caption was pure gold—"Aap logon ki tabiyat kaisi hai?"—bhai ne toh sabka jawab de diya! 😂
I understand the concern, but the mockery is unnecessary. He's a human being, not a machine. The SRA footage showed a busy star. His wit in handling trolls is admirable. Focus on his work; Maatrubhoomi might surprise us. Age is just a number, bhai!
