Salman Khan's latest public appearance has sparked widespread concern after videos from an event in Mumbai went viral on social media. While the actor attended the programme to inaugurate a new facility, but it was his noticeably changed appearance that became the biggest talking point online.
Why Was Salman There?
The videos were taken during Salman's visit to the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) office in Mumbai. He inaugurated the authority's new Data Collection and Verification Support Centre (IT Server Room) and also handed over house keys to beneficiaries.

Salman Khan has changed a lot within just one year. He looked good even a few months ago, but now he looks much older. He looks like someone in their 70s.#Salmankhan https://t.co/vbcSE32Ywt
