Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who currently has Y+ security cover, defied security protocols on his 60th birthday. The actor ringed in his milestone birthday at his Panvel farmhouse surrounded by family and friends.

Salman Khan takes bike ride

Skipping the usual bulletproof car, he hopped on his motorcycle and enjoyed a free-spirited ride around his Panvel farmhouse. On Saturday, Salman was spotted taking the ride, leaving his fleet of heavily armored vehicles behind. The ‘Sultan' actor was seen riding with his security team following closely. Along the route, fans and photographers lining the road cheered and waved at him. As he crossed a bridge, Salman rode with remarkable ease and confidence.

On his birthday, Khan, usually seen surrounded by tight security, showed a different side of himself. Despite the heightened protection in recent years, he appeared completely at ease and carefree during the bike ride.

Not just Khan, but his nephews Arhaan and Nirvaan Khan were also seen riding ATS bikes to the farmhouse.

About Salman Khan's security

In recent years, Salman Khan has often been seen traveling in bulletproof cars under tight security. The heightened protection comes after several serious incidents. In April 2024, a firing took place outside his Bandra residence, prompting additional safety measures. His security was further reinforced following alleged threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Reports suggest that bulletproof glass was installed at Galaxy Apartments, and high-value bulletproof vehicles were added to his convoy.

On his 60th birthday, fans who arrived in Bandra expecting the actor to wave from his window at Galaxy apartments were not allowed to wander in the premises. Many dejected fans were seen returning after the police blocked the entire stretch of Khan's residence and restricted public access for law and order.

Meanwhile, the ‘Dabangg' star rang in his birthday on 27th December at his Panvel farmhouse. The star-studded guest list included celebrities such as MS Dhoni, AP Dhillon, Sanjay Dutt, Orry, Aditya Roy Kapur, Genelia Deshmukh, Sangeeta Bijlani, Huma Qureshi, Rakul Preet Singh, and Mika Singh. Bobby Deol and his family also attended the celebration and it marked the ‘Animal' actor's first public appearance following the passing of his father, veteran actor Dharmendra.
