THE GRAPEVINE: Gifts Galore

Published April 23, 2017

Rich people, luxurious gifts. Although Salman Khan has not openly accepted that he’s going steady with the Romanian looker Lulia Vantur, his deep affection for her is no more a hush-hush thing.

Last week, the actor gifted her a swanky bungalow near Galaxy Apartments where he lives. Before that, Sallu mian gave her a dazzling sedan. She’s also been seen regularly attending the actor’s family functions. For example, she flew out to the Maldives with him to take part in his nephew’s birthday.

Hmm … it seems the Dabangg star has finally cottoned on to the fact that his clock is ticking, and he might as well share his 51-year-old gym-made self with someone.
