Salman Khan requests crowd to make way for him

In a video shared by a paparazzo, Salman Khan can be seen exiting Ashish Shelar’s residence after seeking Ganpati blessings, with a tilak on his forehead. The actor was dressed casually, with a beanie covering his head. As he stepped outside the venue, Salman was mobbed by paparazzi and fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the superstar. With the crowd blocking his way, he was seen asking people to move back and make way for him. He even folded his hands and politely requested them to clear the path.

However, with his bodyguards struggling to manage the crowd, Salman quickly made his way towards his car. The actor was seen being pushed around amid the frenzy, but even in the chaos, he made sure his security did not push away a child who had approached him to shake hands. Salman stopped, shook hands with the child and then gently escorted him out of the crowd before continuing towards his car.
