Salman Khan has often been called “Bhaijaan” by fans and people from the film industry, and according to choreographer Shabina Khan, the title is not just because of his screen image but also because of the way he treats everyone around him.
During a recent interaction, Shabina Khan shared an interesting story from the sets of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, revealing that Salman would bring a fully equipped kitchen to the shooting location to ensure that every member of the team was well looked after.
According to Shabina, the superstar never believed in having separate arrangements for himself. Instead, he made sure that dancers, assistant choreographers, technicians, junior artists and crew members all enjoyed the same high-quality food that was prepared for him.
She revealed that Salman had his own chefs on set, who would cook a variety of dishes throughout the day. The kitchen was capable of preparing lavish meals, and the chefs would even take special requests from the crew. Whether someone wanted a particular dish or had specific dietary preferences, every effort was made to accommodate them.
What impressed Shabina the most was that there was no difference between what Salman ate and what was served to the rest of the unit. Everyone, from senior actors to spot boys and dancers, shared the same food.
In an industry where large film sets often have different levels of hospitality, Salman Khan’s gesture stood out as a reflection of his generosity and his belief in treating everyone equally.
Shabina suggested that this caring attitude is one of the biggest reasons why so many people affectionately call him “Bhaijaan.” For those who have worked with him, the name represents not just a superstar but someone who looks after the people around him like family.
The story also brings back memories of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, one of the most loved films of Salman Khan’s career. Released in 2015, the film won hearts with its emotional story and message of kindness and humanity. Behind the scenes too, it appears the atmosphere reflected those same values.
Over the years, many actors, directors and crew members have shared stories about Salman’s generosity, whether it is helping colleagues during difficult times or ensuring that everyone on his film sets feels comfortable and respected.
Shabina Khan’s latest revelation has once again given fans a glimpse of the person behind the superstar image. For many, it explains why the title “Bhaijaan” has stayed with Salman Khan for so many years—it is a reflection of the warmth and care he is said to extend to those who work with him.
