Mumbai, Oct 2: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was recently seen stepping out to support Veer Pahariya and the team of *Prem Keetanu* ahead of the film’s theatrical release.

Salman was spotted outside a theatre, where he met and greeted actor Anup Soni before entering the venue for a special screening.

The actor, however, had an unexpected encounter with a fan outside the theatre. Despite being surrounded by security personnel and bouncers, a young man suddenly rushed towards Salman and managed to get close enough to hold his hand.

The fan appeared to be attempting to approach the actor in excitement, possibly hoping to click a selfie.

Salman appeared taken aback by the sudden move and looked towards the man as his security team immediately intervened.

The bouncers firmly held the fan by his arm and pulled him away from Salman, allowing the actor to continue towards the theatre with Anup Soni.

For the screening, Salman opted for a casual yet stylish look. He wore a light blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, paired with white trousers, and completed his look with dark sunglasses, a watch and his trademark bracelet.

His appearance at the screening was a gesture of support for Veer Pahariya, his longtime friend Sajid Nadiadwala and the *Prem Keetanu* team.

Inside the theatre, Salman was seen meeting members of the film’s team, including Veer Pahariya and Aafiya Sayed.

This is not the first time Salman has encountered an uncomfortable situation involving an over-excited fan crossing his security perimeter.

In 2019, during a special screening of *Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!*, held to mark the film’s 25th anniversary, a female fan reportedly managed to get past security and grabbed Salman by the arm while attempting to take a selfie.

The actor appeared startled and uncomfortable, while security personnel intervened and pulled her away.

More recently, in April 2026, a man approached Salman at an airport and put his arm around the actor while he was interacting with another young fan.

Salman’s security team immediately moved the man away, after which the actor gestured to his security personnel to calm down and continued interacting with the young fan.
