Mumbai [India], September 18: Salman Khan’s latest Ganpati Darshan moment has caught attention online after the actor was seen requesting a large crowd to make way for him and intervening when a child came close to him amid the security rush. The incident took place outside politician Ashish Shelar’s residence in Mumbai, where Salman had gone to offer prayers during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
After completing his Ganpati Darshan, Salman stepped out of the residence to a large gathering of fans, photographers and onlookers waiting to catch a glimpse of him. The crowd made it difficult for the actor and his security team to reach his vehicle.
Videos from the moment show Salman trying to move through the gathering while security personnel attempted to create a path. Instead of simply pushing through the crowd, the actor was seen bringing his hands together and requesting people to move aside and give him some space.
The situation became more noticeable when a child approached Salman during the commotion. As security personnel were managing the crowd, Salman appeared to notice the child and made sure the youngster was not pushed away. According to NDTV, Salman stopped to shake hands with the child and then gently helped him move away from the crowded area before continuing towards his car.
The brief interaction quickly attracted attention because of the contrast between the intense crowd situation and Salman’s response. While his security team was focused on creating a safe passage, the actor paused when he noticed the young fan.
The visit to Ashish Shelar’s residence is part of Salman’s appearances during this year’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai. The actor has been seen participating in several festive gatherings over the past few days, including celebrations with his family.
Earlier, Salman attended the Ganpati celebrations at his brother Sohail Khan’s residence. During the family celebration, he participated in the traditional aarti before joining the Ganpati Visarjan rituals. A video from that event also attracted attention after his sister Arpita Khan corrected him when he was performing the aarti in the wrong direction.
Salman’s recent Ganpati appearances have therefore generated considerable interest on social media, with videos from the celebrations showing different moments involving the actor and his family. His appearance at Ashish Shelar’s residence was particularly notable because of the large number of people gathered outside.
The crowd eventually managed to create enough space for Salman to reach his vehicle. Despite the commotion, the actor remained focused on moving safely through the gathering and briefly interacted with the young fan before leaving.
The incident also comes at a busy time for Salman professionally. He is currently hosting Bigg Boss 20, which premiered earlier this month. The actor also has several film projects in development, including Maatrubhumi, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The film was previously associated with the title Battle of Galwan, but its title and reported creative direction subsequently changed.
For now, it is the short Ganpati Darshan video rather than any new film announcement that has brought Salman back into the spotlight. The footage shows the scale of the crowds that often gather around the actor during public appearances and captures his request for people to clear a path, followed by his brief interaction with a child amid the security arrangements.
