About Battle of Galwan

Earlier this month, Salman dropped a picture on his Instagram in which he was seen in a military uniform. He sported a moustache. The film, mounted on a grand scale, will see Salman as a army officer. The film revisits the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops, a rare border skirmish that turned deadly without any firearms being used. Instead, soldiers resorted to hand-to-hand combat with sticks and stones.

Recently, Salman paid a courtesy visit to the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, at Raj Niwas in Leh. Dressed in a blue shirt and a denim jeans, Salman had a pleasant meeting with the Ladakh’s LG as they were seen smiling during a conversation. Salman also received a Thangka Canvas painting from the Ladakh LG, which featured a view of Buddha’s life in a traditional Buddhist art style. The duo posed with the painting.

The Office of the Lt. Governor of Ladakh shared the news of Salman Khan’s courtesy visit on their X handle on Saturday. They wrote, “Bollywood icon Salman Khan paid a courtesy visit to the Hon’ble Lt. Governor Shri @KavinderGupta at the Raj Niwas, #Leh.”
