Superstar Salman Khan seems to be winning hearts after videos of him showing affection towards little young fans on social media went viral on Thursday.

The videos of him from the recent IIFA event, saw the superstar taking time out of his busy schedule to interact with his young fans, sign autographs and shower them with affection.

In one of the videos, Salman is seen dressed in a blue blazer paired with a black T-shirt, distressed jeans and sunglasses as he makes his way towards his car, surrounded by security personnel and many people waiting to catch a glimpse of him.

Despite the crowd around him, the actor was seen pausing to interact with a little girl who approached him with a wall portrait of the superstar, for him to sign. Salman was seen bending down to speak to her, and signed an autograph. He also was seen gently holding her face and kissed her affectionately on the forehead.

In another clip, the actor was seen writing what appears to be a lengthy autograph for a young fan. The little fan who watched the superstar with a twinkle in her eyes, couldn’t believe her luck.

Another video shows Salman interacting with a little girl in a pink outfit, leaning down to speak to her as she holds a notebook.

The videos have yet again drawn attention to the actor’s affectionate interactions with children, highlighting his love for children.

Recently during his appearance on filmmaker Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’ Season 9, Salman spoke about his deep desire of wanting to have children of his own and stated that he will soon plan to have children.

Wife of actor and ‘Bigg Boss 20’ contestant Aasif Khan penned a heartfelt note shedding light on his health condition after co-contestant Qazi Touqeer mimicked a heart attack in the middle of an argument during a recent episode of the reality show.

She penned on social media on Thursday, “Yes, Aasif had a heart attack. A massive one. At just 34. It breaks my heart that I now have to share his medical reports just to prove what he went through was real. I never imagined something so personal would have to be made public for people to believe him. (sic)”

She clarified that when Aasif initially said it was GERD and not a heart attack, it was out of fear, as he was worried that a serious health condition would cost him work.

“In an industry where opportunities are uncertain, especially without backing, that fear was real”, she further wrote.

Recalling the challenging time when Aasif was in the ICU, she shared, “I will never forget being told his main coronary artery was completely blocked, the ICU, the stent, or holding my husband as he cried, afraid of losing the future he had dreamed of. Aasif had already lost his father to a heart attack as a child. Surviving one himself brought back that heartbreak and the fear of leaving his own family behind.”

Expressing disappointment that Aasif’s health was turned into a joke, she added, “This has gone beyond criticism. We have faced vile abuse, death threats against Aasif and rape threats against our family. Nothing can justify this.”

“Bigg Boss is an entertainment reality show. When did entertainment become an excuse for cruelty? When did disagreements become a reason to threaten someone’s life or target their family?”, concluded the post.

For those who do not know, after Qazi performed his signature step, Aasif called it boring and asked him to act like a monkey. The argument got serious after Qazi pretended to have a heart attack, upsetting Aasif.

Singer Mika Singh recently recalled his attempt to enter megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s famous Diwali party without an invitation on the quiz-based reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati.

Sharing the anecdote, Mika said he would often pass by the Bachchan residence during Diwali, hoping to receive an invitation to the star-studded celebration someday.

Recalling those days, Mika said, “Main inke ghar ke aage se jaata tha… Toh jab bhi hoti thi, inki Diwali party bahut mashhoor hoti thi. Bahut se superstar hote the, sabse bade toh khud hi itne bade superstar hain… Toh Diwali party jab bhi hoti thi, main inke gate ke aage se jaata tha, toh meri badi ichha thi ki bhai, kab main inke ghar pe jaaunga, kab waisa bulawa aayega..”

(I used to pass by his house. His Diwali party was very famous, with so many superstars in attendance. And, of course, the biggest superstar of them all is Mr Bachchan himself. Whenever he hosted the Diwali party, I would pass by his gate, wishing that one day I would get to visit his house and receive an invitation)

He then narrated how he once used his large car to make the security personnel believe that a superstar was arriving at the party.

“Maine ghar bada nahi liya, meri gaadi bahut badi thi, toh sabko lagta tha ki koi superstar ghoom raha hai us gaadi ke andar. Bahut badi gaadi thi, inki Diwali party chal rahi hai aur poora media aur security wahan hai… Toh maine sirf aise jaake inke gate ke aage horn bajaya ‘paa…’ Unhone poora security ne darwaza khol diya ki woh bahut bada koi superstar aaya hai. Main bhi chashma pehan ke aise… kale sheeshe the, aise-aise karke andar ghus gaya..”

(I hadn’t bought a bigger house, but I had a very big car, so everyone thought a superstar was travelling inside it. The car was huge, and his Diwali party was underway, with the entire media and security present there. So, I simply drove up to his gate and honked, ‘Paa…’ The security team opened the gate, thinking that some big superstar had arrived. I was wearing sunglasses, and the car had tinted windows, so I managed to sneak inside, pretending to be someone important)

Mika, however, soon realised that he did not have an invitation and decided to reverse his car and leave. He said Bachchan later sent him a message, inviting him to meet him directly whenever he visited next.

“Phir mujhe realize hua ki main uninvited hoon, toh phir maine gaadi back kar li. Phir paaji ka message aaya ki ‘Aage toh jaddon bhi aana Punjabi vich, tussi meenu sidha milne aana’. So yeh inki greatness hai..”

(Then I realised that I was there without an invitation, so I reversed the car and left. Later, I received a message from paaji (Amitabh Bachchan) saying in Punjabi, ‘Whenever you come next time, come and meet me directly.’ That is what makes him so gracious)

Responding to Mika’s story, Amitabh Bachchan spoke about the welcoming atmosphere at his home during festivals, crediting his wife, actor-politician Jaya Bachchan, for her approach to guests.

“Aur humara jo nyota jaata hai… Diwali ka tyohar ho, Holi ka tyohar ho, koi bhi tyohar ho… Jaya ji kehti hain yeh khula ghar hai, jiske aana chahe woh aa sakta hai..”

(And as for our invitations, whether it is Diwali, Holi or any other festival, Jaya ji always says that this is an open house, and anyone who wishes to come is welcome)
