Even at 59, Salman Khan continues to be quizzed about his bachelor status, a tag he has carried for nearly four decades. During a recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, the superstar was once again teased about his refusal to marry, and as expected, he responded with his trademark humour and honesty. Host Kapil Sharma jokingly asked Salman if he plans to follow in Aamir Khan's footsteps and find a new girlfriend. Without missing a beat, Salman replied, 'No such plans.' Archana Puran Singh, who was also present, chimed in, asking if he wasn't tired of the same question after all these years. Salman's reply had everyone in splits. 'Main humesha kehta hu ki mere shaadi kar lene mein aapka kya faeda hai? Kya aapko maza aa raha hai ki main aapke liye suhagrat mana raha hu? Main kya kar raha hu jisme aapko itni khushi ho rahi hai ki main barbad ho jau?' (I always say—how does it benefit you if I get married? Are you enjoying the fact that I'm spending my wedding night for you? What am I doing that brings you so much joy in seeing me ruined?)' 'Divorce happens over snoring now' Delving into why marriage doesn't appeal to him, Salman pointed out the changing dynamics of relationships.

Salman Khan Opens Up About His Relationships: "I'm 59, But I Have Had Only 3-4 Girlfriends"
New Delhi: During his recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3, Salman Khan addressed the perception surrounding his relationships over the years. What Despite being linked to several actors throughout his 36-year-long career, Salman said the actual number of relationships he has had is far fewer than commonly believed. On the show, comedian Kapil Sharma joked that Salman has been "lucky" in the girlfriend department. Salman responded, "Not true, if you take my average, it is very poor. I'm 59 years old but I have had only 3-4 girlfriends. So, if you consider that, those relationships have lasted about 7-8 and even 12 years sometimes. It's a very poor average as compared to the boys and girls of this age. You know how they keep hopping from one relationship to another. So, compared to them, I am old-school." Background During the same interaction, Salman also spoke about Aamir Khan's current relationship with Gauri Spratt, following his previous marriages to Kiran Rao and Reena Dutta. Taking a humorous dig at his colleague, Salman said, "Aamir stands in a league of his own. He is an outstanding personality. The whole world knows him as a perfectionist. So, until he achieves perfection in marriage, he will keep doing it. But I think this is his last. He will achieve perfection this time. She will ensure he achieves perfection this time." In the past, Salman has been linked to actors such as Sangeeta Bijlani, Aishwarya Rai, Katrina Kaif, Iulia Vantur, and others. He once came close to marrying Sangeeta Bijlani, but during a previous appearance on Koffee With Karan, he revealed that he called off the wedding after getting cold feet.
