Salman Khan has plenty of reasons to celebrate his 52nd birthday with a smile on his face. One of them being the positive box office response to his latest film Tiger Zinda Hai.
Box office: Tiger Zinda Hai is set to become highest grosser of 2017
His best friend and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, however, said Salman doesn't need a reason for a party. "Hit or not we celebrate Salman's birthday every year on his farm on Panvel with his entire family. My wife and my sons look forward to this annual event even more than I do. And they wouldn't miss it for the world. In fact all of us are getting ready to leave. The kids are packing. They can't wait to be with their 'Chachu' (Salman). My sons find me boring because I tell them to go to sleep at 5, while their Chachu lets them have fun on the farm for the birthday week until 8. I am talking about 8 am, not 8 pm. That's when everyone finally goes to sleep after the birthday bash."
Salman's 52nd birthday party will be attended by the Khan clan, that also includes Malaika Arora and her sister, husband and children. The actor's close friends lulia Vantur and Katrina Kaif are also heading towards Panvel for the big bash. Tiger Zinda Hai director Ali Abbas Zafar, Tubelight director Kabir Khan and wife Mini Mathur are also expected to join in the revelry.
Salman is known to be particularly fond of kids, Nadiadwala added that he is a doting uncle too, "It's amazing how much Salman bonds with the children. My sons dote on their Chachu. Every year in January we talk about going for a White Christmas in some European country. But by the time December arrives, we are all set to drive down to Panvel for Salman's birthday celebrations."
