Salman Khan greets fans on Eidul Fitr behind bulletproof glass amid security threats

Bollywood megastar Salman Khan upheld his cherished Eid tradition, stepping out to greet thousands of fans gathered outside his iconic residence, Galaxy Apartments.

This year, however, the celebration came with unprecedented security measures.

Facing ongoing death threats, the Sikandar star made his appearance behind a bulletproof glass enclosure, ensuring his safety while maintaining his connection with fans.

Despite the added security, the Eid spirit remained intact, with fans cheering as Khan, known for his strong bond with admirers, waved to the crowd.

Adding to the joyous occasion, Salman Khan was joined on the balcony by his adorable niece, Ayat, whose presence delighted both the crowd and social media. T

he heartwarming sight of Khan interacting with fans alongside Ayat turned a tense situation into a moment of celebration.

This Eid also marked Salman Khan’s grand return to the silver screen after a two-year hiatus with Sikandar, directed by A.R. Murugadoss and co-starring Rashmika Mandanna.

While the film carried high expectations, it lacked the overwhelming buzz of some of Khan’s previous Eid blockbusters.

According to early box office reports from Sacnilk.com, Sikandar collected ₹26 crore on its opening day. The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 21.60% on March 30, 2025, starting at 13.76% in the morning and peaking at over 25% in the evening shows.
