Salman
Khan's
birthday
party
at
his
Panvel
farmhouse
was
a
low
key
affair.
It
had
a
gathering
of
the
usual
close
friends
and
family
except
for
the
presence
of
Mallika
Sherawat,
Asin:
Salman's
London
Dreams'
leading
lady
and
his
Veer
heroine
Zarine
Khan.
Salman
certainly
didn't
seem
to
be
missing
girlfriend
Katrina
Kaif
who
is
visiting
family
in
London
for
Christmas.
But
Sallu
couldn't
have
had
it
better
three
gorgeous
women
vying
for
his
attention
at
his
birthday
party.
A
source
present
at
the
party
says,
"This
time
the
Khan
family
had
decided
that
Salman's
birthday
would
be
low
key
compared
to
his
usual
rollicking
ones
as
the
city
is
still
under
the
cloud
of
the
26/11
terrorist
attacks.
The
birthday
boy
was
heard
telling
his
friends
that
he
would
not
be
inviting
many
people
and
yet
more
than
a
100
guests
turned
up."
Some
of
Salman's
guests
included
Adnan
Sami,
Anil
Sharma,
Aalim,
Sajid
Nadiadwala,
David
Dhawan,
Ramesh
Taurani,
Vijay
Galani
amongst
others.
The
source
adds,
"Some
stayed
back
at
his
sprawling
farmhouse
while
the
rest
drove
back
home
early
yesterday
morning.
Salman's
mom
had
whipped
up
some
15
dishes
including
mutton
paya
and
biryani
and
all
the
guests
had
a
feast.
The
Khans
are
known
for
their
superb
hospitability."
The
source
says
Salman
broke
one
of
his
golden
rules
this
time
before
his
birthday.
"Bhai
never
shoots
after
December
20
and
takes
a
break
till
New
Year
but
when
his
Veer
director
Anil
Sharma
told
him
the
film
wasn't
complete,
the
actor
cancelled
his
holiday
plans
and
stayed
back
to
complete
the
shot.
He
has
done
this
for
the
first
time
in
years."
After
Salman
Khan
gifted
Aamir
Khan
a
painting
he
made
on
Ghajini,
Aamir,
too,
gifted
him
a
painting
recently.
It's
a
portrait
of
Salman
set
against
a
bluish
background
painted
by
Aamir
himself.
Sallu
has
hung
it
in
his
drawing
room.
However,
the
art
work
is
not
the
Taare
Zameen
Par
star's
birthday
gift.
Till
Saturday,
Aamir
was
pondering
what
to
give
Sallu
on
his
birthday.
Over
the
weekend
Aamir
along
with
wife
Kiran
Rao
was
in
Panchgani
celebrating
their
wedding
anniversary.
