Biography: Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor, Salman is known for many reasons. Friends swear by his good heartedness, while others like the media have him as their whipping boy. Whatever it is, one just cannot ignore Salman Khan in Bollywood.

Born on December 27, 1965 to legendary scriptwriter Salim Khan, Salman started his acting carrier in 1988 with "Biwi Ho To Aisi". His next film Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) was to define his status in Bollywood— it was one of the highest grossing Bollywood movies ever. Over the next decade Salman delivered terrific versatile performances while his films did consistenly at the box office. Saajan (1991), Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Hum Aapke Hain Koun...! (1994), Karan Arjun (1995), Khamoshi: The Musical (1996), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) and Hum Dil De Chuki Sanaam (1999) were notable films during this period.

However, Salman has also been troubled by personal problems. His relationships with his girlfriends have made news headlines, while on the other he has been on the receiving end of the strong arm of the law.

In 1998 he was arrested in Jodhpur for killing protected wild animals and spent about a week behind the bars. In September 2002, he crashed his Land Cruiser near the American Express bakery in Bandra, killing one man and injuring others. He came back strongly at the box office with “Tere Naam” in 2003 and has since seemed to have regained his focus.
