Addressing this at a recent promotional event, Salman Khan finally spoke up in his signature style. He said, “They say there is a 31-year difference between the heroine and me. If the heroine doesn’t have any problem or the heroine’s father doesn’t have any problem, then why do you have a problem?” His witty remark had the press in splits.

Following this statement, curious fans started digging into Rashmika Mandanna’s father’s age. Turns out, her father, Madan Mandanna, is 56 years old, while Salman Khan himself is 59. Meanwhile, Rashmika is 28 years old, making this an even hotter topic ahead of the film’s release.
