Salman Khan has given fans a rare and heartwarming glimpse into his bond with his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan. The Bollywood superstar recently shared a series of pictures on social media showing the father-son duo spending quality time together, hugging and sporting matching cowboy hats. Along with the pictures, Salman penned an emotional yet humorous note that reflected his admiration for his father and offered a reminder about the value of time.
The post quickly caught fans’ attention, with many praising the bond between Salman and Salim Khan. While the actor is often seen making headlines for his films and public appearances, this latest post offered a more personal look at the man he continues to turn to for guidance.
Salman Khan and Salim Khan Twin in Cowboy Hats
On Thursday, Salman took to Instagram to share several pictures with his 91-year-old father. In some of the photographs, Salman can be seen sitting beside Salim Khan and hugging him from behind as the two relax on chairs. Both wore matching cowboy hats, making their father-son moment even more memorable.
Salman appeared delighted by their matching look, while the pictures captured the warmth and affection they share. In the final photograph, the actor is seen sitting beside his father and holding his hand, creating a particularly touching moment.
Sharing the pictures, Salman began his caption with a playful greeting: “Howdy partner hee haw at 91 at 1 having one, baap baap hota hai, he is the real monster, hum sab ke baap mein hai dum Vande Mataram.”
The actor’s message mixed humour with pride, describing his father as the “real monster” and celebrating his strength. The caption also reflected Salman’s familiar way of expressing affection through playful language rather than a long, sentimental message.
Salman’s Emotional Message About the Value of Time
Along with the playful lines, Salman shared a thought-provoking message about time and life. He wrote, “Ek aur din nahi hota ek aur din kam hota hai, u guys get it? God’s been kind.”
The line roughly means that another day passing is not simply one more day added to life; it is also one day less. The message gave the post a deeper emotional meaning, encouraging people to value the time they have with their loved ones.
Salman also acknowledged that God had been kind, adding another layer of gratitude to the message. The combination of the photographs and the caption resonated with fans, who appreciated seeing the actor express his love and respect for his father.

Salman Khan Still Seeks Career Advice From Salim Khan
Salman has previously spoken about the important role his father plays in his professional life. In an interview with Variety India, the actor revealed that he still turns to Salim Khan whenever he feels confused about a career decision.
“Even today, if I’m confused about something, I always take it to him. Whatever he says, I do that,” Salman said.

Salim Khan is one of Hindi cinema’s most influential screenwriters and is widely known for his work with Javed Akhtar as part of the celebrated Salim–Javed partnership. His contribution to films helped shape some of the most memorable stories and characters in Indian cinema.
