Atul showed how all the kids and the elders of the family were part of the day. His daughter Alizeh tied rakhis on the wrists of her many brothers, including cousins Nirvaan and Arhaan, sons of Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan. Next up, Alvira and Arpita tied rakhis to Salman and Arbaaz. Atul also posed with his own sister.

Salman wore a plain black T-shirt and blue jeans, which many noticed, was too simple by his standards.

The pictures also made their way to Reddit where fans commented on Salman's fit new look. “Bhai looking so damn handsome here," said a person. “Salman Khan goat of bollywood when v or still 🔥🔥,” wrote another. “Every day he looks different,” wrote a fan. “Sallu is looking good,” read another comment.

Prior to this, actor Bina Kak extended her wishes for Salman Khan, calling him “brother-like-son.”

"Since I am recovering from a broken ankle, I will miss you on Rakhi day, my dear Salman, my brother like son ...I pray for your happiness, long, healthy and a peaceful life ahead. Lots of love and blessings always, dear Salman," she wrote on Instagram.
