Every child dreams of buying something special and expensive for their parents one day. Salman Khan also had the same dream and when success finally came into his life, the very first expensive gift he bought was not for himself, but for his father Salim Khan.
In a recent interview, Salman Khan shared the emotional story behind the Rolex watch that fans often see him wearing. While many people may think the superstar wears Rolex watches only as a luxury symbol or to show his status, the real reason behind that particular watch is far more emotional.
Salman revealed that after he started earning well in Bollywood, he decided to buy a Rolex watch for his father. At that time, the watch reportedly cost around ₹9 lakh a huge amount during those years.
But Salman admitted that he did not even have enough money to buy it.
“I only had around four lakh,” Salman said honestly, explaining that he somehow managed the remaining amount because he desperately wanted to gift the watch to his father.
For Salman Khan, that Rolex was never about showing wealth, brands, or luxury. It was a symbol of love, gratitude, and respect for the man who guided him throughout his life.

Years later, when Salman started wearing watches again after avoiding them for decades, Salim Khan returned the same Rolex to him.
“That one Rolex is mine emotionally,” Salman shared during the interview.
The actor also revealed that most of the expensive watches people see him wearing today are often borrowed from friends. The only watch that truly holds emotional value for him is the Rolex connected to his father.
That simple statement deeply touched fans online.
Despite being one of the biggest and richest superstars in Indian cinema, Salman Khan’s attachment was not to the price of the watch, but to the emotions behind it. Fans praised the actor for staying connected to his roots, family values, and emotional memories even after achieving massive fame.
The interview also reminded fans why Salman Khan is called “Bhaijaan” by millions. Beyond the superstardom, action films, and larger-than-life image, many fans believe Salman’s biggest strength is his emotional connection with family and people around him.
Over the years, Bollywood has often created different images around Salman Khan, but moments like these show another side of the actor a son who still values his father’s love and blessings more than any luxury item in the world.
Many fans reacted emotionally online, saying Salman’s story inspires people to love, respect, and stay connected with their parents no matter how successful they become in life.
And perhaps that is exactly why Salman Khan remains different from many other stars. For his fans, he is not just a superstar he is someone whose emotions, simplicity, and loyalty make him feel real even after decades of fame.
