A short clip from Salman Khan’s Rakhi celebration has caught attention across social media. The footage shows his younger sister, Arpita Khan Sharma, performing traditional prayers before tying a sacred thread around her brother’s wrist. The intimate family moment struck a chord with viewers, who praised its celebration of India’s diverse cultural fabric.
Netizens were quick to point out the coming together of different traditions in the frame — Arpita, who comes from an Islamic family and is married to Hindu actor Aayush Sharma, was seen observing a Hindu ritual with her brother, while a famous painting of Jesus Christ could also be seen in the background. For many viewers, the scene served as a striking representation of India’s shared cultural heritage and the coexistence of different faiths and traditions.

Family Time On Rakhi Day
The actor, who is currently working on two films, actively participated in the Rakhi festivities with his family. After gathering at his sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri’s home, Salman stepped outside and proudly showed off a wrist covered in colourful handmade bands gifted by his sisters, including Arpita and Alvira, as well as family friend Bina Kak.
Arpita Holds A Special Place In Salman’s Life
Salman has often placed family at the centre of his personal life, and his bond with Arpita has been particularly evident over the years. In 2024, he attended Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at Arpita’s residence despite suffering from a painful rib injury while shooting for Sikandar. Rather than resting at home, the actor joined his family for the prayers and stood alongside his loved ones throughout the ceremony.
Salman Khan’s Upcoming Projects
On the work front, Salman Khan is currently filming director Vamshi Paidipally’s upcoming untitled action entertainer, tentatively titled SVC63. Produced by Dil Raju, the large-scale project is targeting an Eid 2027 release.
He is also set to headline Maatrubhumi, a war drama directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The film explores themes of patriotism, military action and heroism. Despite script adjustments and production delays reportedly linked to securing necessary official clearances, the project continues to move forward and is expected to release later this year.
