Mother’s Day 2025: A Blockbuster Frame Featuring Salman Khan With “Best Mothers” Salma And Helen

New Delhi:

Salman Khan shared a Mother’s Day post on Sunday, thanking his father Salim Khan “for the best mothers in the world”.

Sharing a photo with both his mothers, Salma Khan and Helen, the actor wrote on Instagram, “Thank u dad for the best mothers in the world. To the most beautiful women in my world. Happy Mother’s Day.”

Salim Khan married Salma on November 18, 1964. The couple have four children – Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail, and Alvira. In 1981, Salim married actor Helen Richardson. Together, they adopted a daughter, Arpita.

Meanwhile, Salman recently came under criticism for tweeting about the India-Pakistan ceasefire, while staying silent on Operation Sindoor. 

In his now-deleted tweet, Salman wrote, “Thank God for the ceasefire….” However, the post drew criticism from some users who questioned why the actor had not commented on Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army’s recent precision strikes on terror sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

One user asked, “No tweets about Operation Sindoor. Why?” Another wrote, “You didn’t say anything about India’s Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.”

Following the backlash, Salman deleted the tweet. A fan, however, came to his defence, stating, “Just after his tweet, the news came that Pakistan violated the ceasefire. So he deleted that tweet. Now tell me what is Salman Khan’s mistake here?”

The ceasefire, which had been agreed upon by both countries’ military officials, was reportedly violated by Pakistan just hours after the announcement.

Salman Khan had earlier reacted to the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack, which claimed 26 lives, mostly civilians and tourists. At the time, he had tweeted: “Kashmir, heaven on planet earth, turning into hell. Innocent people being targeted, my heart goes out to their families. Ek bhi innocent ko marna puri kainath ko marne ke barabar hai (Killing one innocent person is similar to killing the entire universe).”

In response to the Pahalgam tragedy, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting multiple terrorist infrastructures across the border.
