Veteran writer Salim Khan, also known as Salman Khan 's father, recently bought a new car for Dhanteras. Salim and his family were spotted performing a special puja for the car to mark the occasion. Interestingly, this comes at a time when his son Salman has been facing increased death threats. A video of Salim's new car has already made its way online.

Reports say that Salim Khan recently bought a white Mercedes Benz GLS, priced at Rs 1.57 crore. In a video, a priest is seen performing a puja for the car, with a garland hanging on it and a large bow placed on the bonnet. While it's confirmed that Salim purchased the car, neither he nor his sons were seen at the puja.
