Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor, Salman Khan’s single status is becoming a cause of concern for many a Bollywood celeb, even though Salman Khan is bindaas about being a bachelor at 45.
Just recently, we heard Aamir Khan say that Salman should be handcuffed and led to the wedding mandap and made to marry. Now, actress Sameera Reddy, a well-wisher of Salman, says it is high time Salman got married.
At Godrej GoJiyo’s anniversary party at the Leela Hotel, Mumbai, Sameera said it’s unfortunate that Salman is still single despite having had so many girlfriends.
“I feel it is very unfortunate ki Salman ke itne saare girlfriends hote rahte hain aur unki kisi ke saath shaadi nahin hoti hai. I think it is really unfortunate for Salman kyonki I think the girls really benefit a lot aur end mein Salman Khan is all alone by himself,” Sameera said when asked to comment about Salman’s single status.
Like Aamir, Sameera is also of the view that Salman Khan should have an arranged marriage.
“I really feel it’s time he really has an arranged marriage,” Sameera says.
