Salman Khan is always in the news – whether it is for good or bad reasons is up to his fans and detractors to decide.

This time round rumour has it that Sallu mian has left the flat in a posh Mumbai locality where he was living with the rest of his family for a long time.

Tongues are wagging that he’s done that for his girlfriend Lulia Vantur (you know, privacy and all that stuff). Well, it turns out that’s not true.

Says who?

Says his father Salim Khan who, in an interview to an Indian newspaper, has clarified that his son hasn’t gone anywhere and is still living in the same apartment.

Good on Sallu mian, but spare a thought for his girlfriend. Wink.
