Khan posted a bunch of gym selfies showing off his head-turning new body. He was wearing a black vest and blue shorts – and absolutely rocking that new toned look. He couldn’t resist posting a few light-hearted words on social media either – “I wish I looked like this when I’m 60! Only 6 days to go”. While his new body is turning heads, Salman also debuted a brand new look on his birthday – clean shaven for the first time in a long time. Industry insiders think this whole physical transformation is more to do with his new role in Battle of Galwan – where he plays a disciplined army leader.
