Salman Khan 60th birthday no balcony wave marked a departure from tradition, as the Bollywood icon skipped his usual Galaxy Apartments appearance due to security threats, opting instead for a private bash at his Panvel farmhouse on December 27.
Salman Khan 60th birthday no balcony wave: Security over tradition
Salman Khan 60th birthday no balcony wave disappointed thousands of fans gathered outside Bandra’s Galaxy Apartments, who waited in vain for the annual ritual.
Amid ongoing security concerns, Salman chose a low-key celebration away from public eyes, prioritising safety over the customary fan interaction.
Star-studded family gathering

Industry guests included Randeep Hooda with Lin Laishram, Genelia Deshmukh with sons Riaan and Rahyl, MS Dhoni and Sakshi, Tabu, Huma Qureshi and Mahesh Manjrekar.
Virtual thanks to fans
