Salman Khan spotted with torn and tattered shoes at event: Actor praised for simplicity, later revealed to be luxury worth lakhs
A photo of actor Salman Khan went viral on social media, in which his shoes appeared to be torn at the front. Upon seeing this, people began praising Salman for his simplicity.
Bollywood actor Salman Khan recently attended the screening of his niece Alizeh Agnihotri's debut film, 'Farre'. During the event, Salman appeared in a remarkably simple look, dressed in a black shirt and jeans.
However, a photo of him went viral on social media, in which his shoes appeared to be torn at the front. Upon seeing this, people began praising Salman for his simplicity. Yet, the truth—and the actual price—of these shoes has now come to light.
Viral Photo Reveals Shoes in Poor Condition
In the photo circulating on social media, Salman Khan is seen sitting on a bench alongside his ‘Tiger 3’ co-star Katrina Kaif and a journalist. A close look at the image reveals that the leather on Salman's shoes appears to be peeling away at the front, featuring a noticeable tear or hole.
Observing this, fans took to social media to laud his humility. Many commented that, despite being such a massive superstar, Salman felt no shame in wearing torn footwear.
Not Torn, But 'Distressed' Luxury Shoes
Amidst the growing buzz surrounding the footwear, the journalist who had met Salman stepped forward to clarify the truth. In a social media post, the journalist clarified that "Bhaijaan" was not wearing "torn shoes," but rather expensive footwear from an international luxury brand.
In reality, these shoes fall under the "distressed look" category. In the world of fashion today, there is a trend of deliberately designing clothing and footwear to appear torn or worn-out—a style that often commands a price tag running into the lakhs.
Salman Wears 'Torn' Shoes for Comfort
During an interview, actress Palak Tiwari—who has worked with Salman—along with actor Jassie Gill, revealed that Salman wears "torn" shoes primarily for the sake of comfort. Palak Tiwari noted that people often assume that because Salman Khan is such a massive star with immense wealth, his shoes could never possibly be in a damaged state. In response, Jassi remarked that he, too, wanted to point out that Salman Khan frequently wears the same pair of leather shoes—ones that are quite old and worn out. He even conducts his shoots in those very shoes, as he finds them to be the most comfortable. That is why he prefers to wear the same pair repeatedly.
