After the case of negligent driving and Blackbuck poaching, Salman's revival was made through the iconic movie "Tere Naam", film critics even say the melancholy portrayed on screen in Tere Naam is very similar to the one he faced off-screen.

I've never seen a wonderful person like you. The way you lean forward, eyes wide and the cutest is you open your mouth a little and listen. Happiest birthday to the man with a golden heart @BeingSalmanKhan. #HappyBirthdaySalmanKhan #SalmanKhan pic.twitter.com/NmtaeO6iZS
