We’re proud to have a father who’s fighting it out,” he said. Speaking about his own disciplined lifestyle, Salman mentioned that he eats everything in moderation. His meals typically include just a spoonful or so of rice, some vegetables, and a portion of chicken, mutton, or fish—carefully avoiding overeating.In the same conversation, he reflected on his influence in shaping fitness culture within the Indian film industry. He shared that he was among the first actors to bring gym culture into the mainstream and takes pride in seeing veteran stars like Dharmendra still committed to their health routines.While his last release, Sikandar, underperformed at the box office, Salman shows no signs of slowing down. He is now gearing up for his next film, reportedly a war drama inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict, to be directed by Apoorva Lakhia. Additionally, buzz suggests he is in talks with Kabir Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, potentially marking the return of one of his most beloved roles.
