Overview
- Salman Khan posted two photos of a tight embrace with Sanjay Dutt on his verified account in the hours before August 1, using an emotional caption that repeatedly calls Dutt “Baba” and ends “I love you Baba.”
- The images partly hide both men’s faces and show Salman wearing a cap reportedly covering a changed hairdo, and family members including Maanayata Dutt and daughter Trishala reacted publicly in the post’s comments.
- The post went viral within hours, drawing millions of engagements and a mix of nostalgic praise and amusement from fans who focused on Salman’s repeated use of the word “baba.”
- News outlets tied the moment to the pair’s long history together — films like Saajan and Chal Mere Bhai — and to Salman’s 2025 announcement that he and Dutt would appear in a new action film, though no new production information was disclosed.
- The exchange underscores the personal support the two have shown over decades and is likely to keep public and media attention on their friendship while fueling informal speculation about their announced collaboration.
