Salim Khan, 90, Steps Out for Sipaara’s 1st Birthday

Arbaaz Khan and Sshura Khan’s daughter Sipaara turned one on October 5, 2026, and the family marked the occasion with a private celebration in Mumbai. Salman Khan was one of the first to reach the venue, photographed in a black tee and denim jeans as he made his way in for the low-key celebration.

A rare public outing for Salim Khan

The more significant sighting was Salim Khan, who arrived with his wife Salma Khan. The 90-year-old screenwriter has stayed away from the public eye in recent months after a minor brain hemorrhage earlier this year. He underwent a medical procedure at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital, and Salman later confirmed that his father was back home and thanked fans for their blessings.

Seeing Salim at a family function, then, reads as a quiet reassurance. It is not a full return to public life, but it is the kind of low-pressure appearance that lets the family mark a milestone without turning it into a press event.

Who attended the birthday

The guest list stayed close to home.

• Salman Khan — among the first to arrive, in a casual black tee and denim.
• Salim Khan and Salma Khan — the evening’s most reassuring sight.
• Sohail Khan — arrived with son Yohan.
• Arpita Khan Sharma and Iulia Vantur — also spotted at the celebration.

Sipaara is Arbaaz and Sshura’s daughter, and Arbaaz’s second child. He also has a son, Arhaan, with former wife Malaika Arora.

Why the timing matters

The family gathering comes days after a viral clip from a Mumbai event showed Arbaaz appearing to avoid a reporter’s question about Salman. He thanked everyone and left, which set off online speculation. A birthday photograph does not settle every question, but it does redirect attention to a simpler story: the Khans showing up for a one-year-old’s celebration.

For fans, the appeal is familiar. The Khans have long balanced Bollywood stardom with family spectacle, but this event was deliberately quiet. The photographs do the talking, with no red carpet and no formal statement.

What fans can take from it

The biggest takeaway is not the guest list but the context. Salim Khan has been through a health scare, and public sightings remain rare. A birthday gives fans a chance to see him in a comfortable setting while the family keeps its privacy intact.

There is no official statement here, and there does not need to be one. Salman’s easy arrival, Salim’s presence and the children around them are the update.
