A model turned actor Salman made his debut in the film Biwi HoTo Aisi, in which he played co-star to Rekha. With his first two films he became an overnight sensation. However his fame did not take him far, as flops and controversies tied him down. Not to mention the media and the critics who gave him a bad reputation. But Salman did not stay down for long, he bounced back into the spotlight with a brand new look. And in a recently issued American magazine Salman was voted as the seventh best looking man in the world. Now it finally seems that Salman is going to claim the position that he rightly deserves.

Though Salman Khan had a low profile after his first appearence in "Biwi Ho To Aisi", he, successfully, managed to get the attention of a few top class directors and in the way got a big break through Sooraj Barjatya's blockbustser movie "MAINE PYAR KIYA" which broke all kinds of records and at the box office - giving the transformation to him from a low profile category to the high profile in one night. The movie "Maine Pyar Kiya" was given a lot of praise in the industry doing a whole lot of good things for everyone in the movie and to top it all, was given the consideration as SHOLAY - II.

Comes another hit "Patthar Ke Pool" with Raveena Tandon but he was suddenly under the clouds of shadow as a few films of his had flopped and failed at the box office and again Raj Shree comes to his rescue giving him a chance in HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN. Later on, there was no looking back for him as he has risen to the stardom and the life in the industry has been a walk on the bed of roses. He has taken the graduation when he got the FILM FARE's "Best Supporting Actor" for his role in "Kuch Kuch Hota Hain" which shows his maturity as an actor and his roles in "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Jaanam Samjha Karo" are worth of appreciation.

He was arrested and jailed for poaching endangered wild animals after allegedly shooting a rare black antelope near Jodhpur. [12 October 1998]. Arrested for culpable homicide following the death of a man in a car accident in Bombay. Mr Khan was involved in an incident in which several homeless people were hit by a car in an area of north Bombay. The film star has been charged with "culpable homicide not amounting to murder". He also faces charges of drunk driving and not having a valid licence. If convicted, he could be jailed for up to 10 years. [October 2002]

Had a well publicised affair with Aishwarya Rai which lasted 2 years. He was accused in another press conference in spring 2003 by Vivek Oberoi to have called the latter 41 times during one night and threatened him with death as well.
