Mamata Banerjee And Salman Khan Dance At Kolkata International Film Fest

The Kolkata International Film Festival 2023 was thrown open by a host of stars including superstar Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Sonakshi Sinha and others from the entertainment industry. Brand Ambassador for West Bengal, Sourav Ganguly was also present at the opening ceremony. The highlight of the evening was the moment when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, egged on by Salman Khan and Mahesh Bhatt shook a leg with the theme song of the film festival sung by Arijit Singh being played. It was Salman Khan who invited the Chief Minister to join him in a few steps.

Salman Khan appreciated the simplicity of Mamata Banerjee's residence in Kalighat, which he had visited a few months ago. "Her house is actually smaller than mine. And I am jealous of the fact that how can somebody in this position have a house which is smaller than mine. Now I don't wish for a smaller house, but she has given me a big complex. That only shows how simple her people are and we don't need that much," Salman Khan said during his address, leading to an applause.

In a sharp contrast from his contemporaries, Salman Khan and his parents live in two flats in Galaxy Apartments at Bandstand at Bandra (West), Mumbai. Salman Khan lives in a modest 1 Bedroom-Kitchen-Hall (BHK) apartment on the ground floor of Galaxy Apartments, in spite of being such a huge star. Salman Khan's one BHK house has an "L" shaped living-cum-dining room. Salman Khan's bedroom is a 170 to 190 sq ft room that is dominated by the bed and the small flat has just one bathroom. The family however owns a huge farmhouse in Panvel on the outskirts of Mumbai in Raigad district.
