But where Salman keeps it moderate, his father takes it to another level. Speaking fondly of Salim Khan’s routine, Salman said, “My dad, touchwood, Mashallah, he tells me that ‘meri khuraq khatam ho gayi hai’ (my appetite has gone down) but touchwood, he is like, 2-3 paranthe, then rice, the gosht, then dessert, twice a day. Unka ek metabolism alag hai. Unka discipline alag hai.” The phrase “metabolism alag hai” summed up the resilience Salim has shown, even as he nears ninety.
In addition, his trainer Rakkesh R. Uddiyar recently revealed that Salman follows an “old‑school, typical bodybuilding” routine involving “giant set” workouts– around 10 chest variations done back-to-back in a HIIT‑style format, all within a disciplined 45-to-60-minute session.
Beyond diet and exercise, Salman reassures fans he still enjoys hearty home‑cooked meals prepared by his mother Salma Khan, calling it “ghar ka khana.” He supplements that with occasional Italian fare, lean proteins, and complex carbs, while cutting processed sugars and late‑night indulgences.
With Sikander behind him and more projects in the pipeline, Salman’s approach reflects a refined balance, trusting age-old discipline, moderation, and a healthy mind-body connection. After all, as he jokes with Kapil Sharma, it’s not about giving up everything- it’s about knowing exactly when “it’s done.”
