Salman Khan’s Bodyguard Pushes Junaid Khan at Screening; Actor Steps In to Handle Situation Calmly

An unexpected moment at the special screening of Sitaare Zameen Par turned heads when Salman Khan’s bodyguard allegedly pushed aside actor Junaid Khan, son of Aamir Khan, sparking brief tension. The incident occurred as several Bollywood stars arrived at a prominent Mumbai multiplex to support the film ahead of its theatrical release.

According to eyewitnesses and circulating video clips, Junaid Khan—who is steadily carving his place in the industry—was attempting to greet or move past Salman Khan when a member of Salman’s security team abruptly pushed him aside, likely as part of routine crowd control.

Salman Khan’s Reaction

What could have escalated into an uncomfortable episode was quickly deescalated by Salman Khan himself. The superstar, known for maintaining camaraderie with industry peers and their families, was seen gesturing to his bodyguard to stand down. He then briefly acknowledged Junaid with a nod and moved on, subtly ensuring the situation didn’t flare up further.

Insiders at the venue noted that Salman did not appear to be upset, but was clear in his body language that such handling of fellow actors or guests was uncalled for in a private event setting.

Junaid Khan’s Calm Demeanor

Sources close to Junaid Khan shared that the young actor remained composed and didn’t react emotionally. “Junaid understands how high-security environments work, especially around stars like Salman sir. He didn’t take it personally,” a crew member said.

Junaid Khan, who has made his debut with period drama Maharaj and is working on multiple indie and mainstream projects, is slowly making a mark with his quiet confidence and acting prowess.

Industry Reacts

The footage from the event circulated quickly on social media, with users divided. While some criticized the overzealous security, others appreciated how Salman Khan managed the situation without making it awkward.

Some fans also expressed admiration for Junaid’s dignified response, calling it “classy” and “in the spirit of professionalism.”

While the incident was brief and did not lead to any public fallout, it underscores the need for better coordination at star-studded events and more sensitivity from personal security teams towards fellow artistes.

Both Salman Khan and Junaid Khan handled the moment with maturity, reflecting the unspoken code of respect that continues to bind Bollywood’s biggest families and emerging stars.
