Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been quite reserved about his personal life, especially when it comes to marriage and children. However, the actor recently opened up about his thoughts on fatherhood in an interaction with Rajat Sharma on a Media channel talk show.

During the conversation, Salman revealed that he had once planned to have a child without getting married. “Abhi kya bolu woh toh plan tha. Plan tha. Bahu ka nahi tha, baccha ke tha. Lekin ab woh law ke hisaab se woh toh Hindustan mein ho nahi sakta. Toh ab dekhenge kya kare” (What to say, that was the plan. It wasn’t for a daughter-in-law, it was for a child. But according to the Indian laws, it’s not possible. Now we’ll see what to do), he said.

Salman further added that he loves kids and has a desire to become a father. However, he also acknowledged that with the arrival of children, their mother also comes into the picture. “Maa unke liye bohut acchi hai, lekin humare ghar mein maa hi maa padi hai sir. Humare paas pura zila hai, pura gaon hai. Woh unka accha khayal rakh lengi. Lekin unki maa, jo real maa hongi, woh meri patni hogi (makes a face)” (A mother is good for them but we have a lot of mothers at home. We have the whole district, the whole village. They will take care of them. But my kid’s real mother will also be my wife), he said.

Salman Khan’s latest movie, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, was released recently but was not well-received by both critics and audiences. Despite the movie’s failure, Salman’s revelation about his desire to become a father without getting married has sparked a lot of discussions on social media.

Salman Khan’s views on marriage and parenthood have been a topic of interest for many years. With his recent statements about wanting to become a father without getting married, the actor has once again managed to grab headlines and start discussions about unconventional family planning.
