Some men never change! Even at the age of 50 Salman Khan doesn’t want to settle down with a gal.

After a long time, the media thought, he was finally ready to play the long innings with the Romanian looker Iulla Vantur. Nope. Not to be. The couple hasn’t been seen together in a while and when last month she left Mumbai for her country, it indicated that things have gone sour between the two of them. Even her return to India for a brief period did not give any hint about the resumption of ties.

Sallu mian is now back to his old self — literally ‘old.’
