Recently, Karan Johar shot for a podcast with Neha Dhupia of her show, No Filter Neha, wherein he candidly spoke about Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Salman Khan. Karan even went on to reveal who will Salman Khan marry in 2019! Before you get your hopes high, let us clarify that Karan answered the question in jest. Karan Johar said, "3 more blockbusters. I’m not sure to a woman."
In an interview with a leading media tabloid, Salman answered the question about his marriage and said, "Wo mere paas uska koi jawab nahi hai, mujhe iss baat se bahut khushi hoti hai ki bahut sare logo ko meri shaadi ki chinta hai, pareshani hai, lekin mujhe hairat yeh hoti hai ke meri shaadi se inka kya faayda hoga. Toh aisa koi jawab hai hi nahi, haan ka bhi nahi, naa ka bhi nahi, maybe ka bhi nahi, lekin jis waqt hogi, hogi, nahi hogi toh nahi hogi. Main bahut khush hoon, main bahut zyaada khush hoon (I am happy about the fact that people are concerned about my wedding, but it makes me wonder what good will it to do to people who are so concerned about my marriage. I don’t have an answer, neither yes, no or maybe. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t. I am very happy, very very happy. Seriously)!”
In 2017, the speculations were rife that Salman Khan is all set to tie the knot, but it was later proved to be just baseless rumour. When Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan was asked if he is pressurising Salman to get married, he replied, “It’s Salman's choice – whenever he wants to marry or not marry. I have never influenced my children, neither have I approved their choice. This is a family that never insults anybody, leave aside giving them orders. It’s a big responsibility – kal ko shaadi mein gadbad ho jaaye toh aake mujhe bolenge ki aap hi ne kaha tha shaadi karne (laughs)."
Though Salman has distanced himself from marriage, he had shown his interest in embracing fatherhood through surrogacy. In an interview with The Times Of India in 2017, he was quoted as saying, “I do want to have a child, but with child, the mother comes. And when the mother comes, big complications happen as I am not the husband material. I am the father type. It will be unfair for anyone to think that I will change him. I will not change. I sometimes feel surrogate type ka ho jaye, but then look how close we are to our mothers so when the kid grows up he or she will ask maa kaun? They will then think that my father for his own selfish reasons has kept us without a mother. And then my parents too would like to see my children. So it’s all very complex.” (Also Read: Salman Khan Confesses That Dad Salim Khan Allowed Him To Bring His Girlfriends Home, On 'Dus Ka Dum')
According to the reports in 2017, Salman was planning to embrace fatherhood in the next 2 years. The 52-year-old actor also mentioned that his parents are looking forward to becoming grandparents again and so there are chances that he might think about fulfilling his parent’s wish. Salman had stated, “I do want to have a child, but with child, the mother comes. And when the mother comes, big complications happen as I am not the husband material. I am the father type. It will be unfair for anyone to think that I will change him. I will not change. I sometimes feel surrogate type ka ho jaye, but then look how close we are to our mothers so when the kid grows up he or she will ask maa kaun? They will then think that my father for his own selfish reasons has kept us without a mother. And then my parents too would like to see my children. So it’s all very complex.” (Also Read: When Katrina Kaif Was Asked About Her Reply If Salman Khan Proposed Marriage To Her)
