That happens later in the movie when Salman and Aishwarya Rai, 'Nandini' have to undergo separation. Drenched tissue papers paid testimony to the feelings absorbed by the viewers.
Tere Naam
We often say that people turn mad in love, well it got real in Salman Khan's Tere Naam. Released in 2003, Salman's character as 'Radhe' has been recorded as one of his splendid performances till date. 'Radhe' is seen as a rude scoundrel of the locality who falls in love with a shy and timid girl (Bhoomika Chawla). His vulnerability and emotional outbursts throughout the movie leave you feeling uneasy and emotional. His injuries and mental instabilities in the latter part of the movie fills the viewers' with pity and empathy.

Another film that featured Salman as 'Radhe' was Wanted that came out in 2009. It included a series of top notch action sequences, where 'Radhe' was portrayed as an anti-hero in the starting to be later revealed as the real hero. He is shown as a responsible officer who gives priority to his Nation above anything else, even if it his charming girlfriend 'Jhanvi' (Ayesha Takia). Defeating the corrupts and serving his duty well, the audience rejoiced his valour.
Dabangg
'Inspector Chulbul Panday' in Dabangg was one of the few times when the viewers loved somebody in a police's uniform. His strong build and amusingly-classy personality proved to be a treat for the viewers. Dabangg, released in 2010, served as a turning point in Salman's career. The audience went head-over-heels for 'Panday Ji' who spilt his charisma with his walk, his actions, his dance moves and powerful dialogues in the film.
Bodyguard
"Bodyguard Lovely Singh reporting Madam", marked Salman's starring in Bodyguard in the year 2011. He is shown as a respectful bodyguard who has been appointed for 'Divya' (Kareena Kapoor).

He meets 'Zoya' (Katrina Kaif) and falls for her. It is heart throbbing when her dark secret comes to light and 'Tiger' gets his heartbroken. Ekk Tha Tiger, made its way to the theatres in 2012. Its ear-soothing music, good storyline and 'Tiger's magic made it a hit, giving Salman's fans yet another piece of the pie to relish on.
Dabangg 2
When one is not enough, Salman comes back with a bang for the 'extra fun delivery'. The first movie to be directed by Indian Producer Arbaaz Khan, "Dabangg 2" was released on 21st December.

The fun starts when 'Chulbul' with his kicks and boxes, brings his life back to perfect.
Salman's appearance as 'Devi Lal Singh' aka 'DEVIL' filled the viewers with much interest and surprise. With Salman's energy and positivity,Kick became a successful hit. Some dialogues from the film still linger in our minds, "Mere bare mein itna mat sochna ... dil mein aata hoon ... samajh mein nahi" and "Woh jeena bhi koi jeena hai jis mein kick na ho!"
Bajrangi Bhaijaan
'Bajrangi' came as the innocent Hanuman devotee in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, who won sympathy from the audience when he was brutally beaten up by the cops. His emotional acting could literally bring shivers down ones' body. The climax of the story backed up by Sallu Mia's 'tadkas' keep one engaged till the end.
Sultan
Salman's latest hit, Sultan featuring him as 'Sultan Ali Khan' exposes the soft side of the character which will easily melt your heart. He plays his age and dons the role of a guy who is smitten by a more successful female wrestler (Anushka Sharma) and does whatever it takes to win her love, even learning wrestling and eventually becoming a champion. The perfect fusion of a fantastic lover, a caring husband, an aspiring sportsman is something we haven't seen the actor pulling off in a long time.
