Salman Khan has opened up about his feelings on fatherhood during a conversation with Karan Johar on Koffee with Karan. The 60-year-old actor reportedly admitted that he misses having a child of his own
Salman Khan's personal life has often attracted as much attention as his films, particularly questions about marriage and starting a family. The Bollywood superstar has now reportedly offered a candid glimpse into his feelings about fatherhood during an appearance on Koffee with Karan Season 9.
According to Variety India, host Karan Johar asked Salman whether he missed having a child. The actor reportedly agreed, suggesting that becoming a father remains an experience he would like to have. The conversation has drawn attention because Salman, who turned 60 in December 2025, has largely kept his personal choices separate from his public life.
The episode also features the familiar humour associated with the chat show. During their conversation, Salman jokingly suggested launching his own version of the programme, which he called Koffee with Salman. Karan also brought up his longstanding question about Salman's virginity, prompting the actor to respond with a humorous, "Control yourself, brother, control yourself."

This is not the first time Salman has discussed his wish to become a father. In a 2023 conversation on Aap Ki Adalat, the actor spoke about his plans to have a child and acknowledged the legal complications surrounding the route he had considered.
Salman also referred to Karan Johar's experience of becoming a father through surrogacy, indicating that he had explored a similar possibility. However, he pointed out that the law posed a challenge, leaving the question of fatherhood unresolved.
His earlier comments offer context to the latest reported conversation with Karan. While Salman has frequently been asked about marriage, his remarks suggest that the idea of having a child has remained a subject he has considered seriously. He has also spoken warmly about children and his affection for his extended family.
However, there has been no confirmed announcement that Salman has finalised plans to become a father. His reported remarks on the chat show should not be interpreted as confirmation that he is pursuing a specific arrangement.
