The truth about Salman's wedding plans

You really want to know... Well, there is no marriage.

There are reports everywhere of Salman Khan getting married at the end of the year, on his birthday on December 27.

However a close friend laughs off the rumour of the superstar's marriage. "There is no marriage on the cards right now. Not this year, for sure. Salman is not getting married on his birthday. The marriage-on-birthday idea is a joke we've all been laughing at for years and saying, 'Chalo, Bhai ki shaadi unke birthday pe kara dete hain. Paise bachenge (Let's get Salman married on his birthday to save on expenses).'"

According to Salman's buddy, the marriage is unlikely to happen any time this year. "At least, he has not spoken to us about it," he says, adding that he has not shared marriage plans with his family either.

The buddy admits that Salman's rumoured Romanian girlfriend Iulia Vantur has been flying down with increased frequency to be with the superstar wherever he's shooting.

"She has been seeing a lot of Salman and has been mingling with his family. When Salman's girlfriend starts to spend time with his family, it means he's serious about her. But Bhai is wary of marrying at his age. 'Bachche jab tak bade honge main buddha ho jaaooona (I'll be an old man by the time the children grow up),' he says. We remind him that Shekhar Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt became fathers at 50. But Bhai thinks it's too late to have children. And if there are to be no children, there is no point in marriage."
