Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been linked to several actors over the years, yet he remains unmarried. Back in 2018, during an appearance at the TiE Global Summit, the actor finally addressed the long-standing question—and his response was as witty as fans would expect.
Salman spoke about his family’s quiet involvement in charitable work over the years, explaining that the efforts he and his siblings now engage in are simply an extension of that legacy, packaged under the banner Being Human. He also noted that people would often approach him asking for ₹2 lakh to help marry off their daughters, but he wouldn’t respond to such requests.
In a light-hearted moment, Salman recalled how his father’s wedding cost just ₹180. He jokingly blamed filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya for turning weddings into extravagant affairs through films like Maine Pyaar Kiya and Hum Saath Saath Hain.
“Marriage has become such a big thing,” he said. “You spend lakhs and lakhs—and even crores—on getting somebody married. I can’t afford that. That’s the reason I’m a single man.”
