Salman Khan introduces new clean-shaven look with reading glasses
Dressed in a simple yet stylish black shirt and jeans, Salman kept it effortlessly suave. However, it was his choice of glasses that became the highlight of his appearance. The subtle change sparked a wave of nostalgia online, with fans drawing comparisons to his iconic romantic roles from the late 90s.
