He also called his dad, "DadLee Man-My Father God" in a post. Interestingly, Salman kept standing during the whole event because he believed that it was disrespectful to sit when his father was around. The actor further said that he has learned to stand when his father is in the room.

Salim Khan is GenZ at heart

Salman's fitness 'role model'

While fans look up to the 'Dabangg' actor because of his fit and muscular body, the actor, in a 2019 interview, shared that his inspiration for aging gracefully is his father. He further spoke about his father's very disciplined approach to his fitness routine, which includes walking three rounds of Bandra Bandstand, doing Pilates, Yoga, and sometimes weight training too.
