Salman Khan may be known for his intense on-screen persona, but his latest birthday message for brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri is proof that his sense of humour is just as legendary.



The actor took to Instagram to wish his long-time friend and brother-in-law a happy birthday, sharing a candid (and hilarious) photo of Atul fast asleep on wife Alvira Khan’s shoulder. Along with the photo, Salman penned a message that has left fans in splits. “Happy birthday Atul my bil means brother-in-law. Thank u for taking care of my sister. I love u man. Best husband n father. Now can u plz be u—the man I knew. 1 day I vil be the man u r. Wake up brother,” Salman captioned the post.



While the photo and message had fans laughing out loud, it was the caption that truly set tongues wagging. Salman's line, “One day I vil be the man u r”, had many taking to the comments section to ask if Bollywood's most eligible bachelor is finally ready to settle down and embrace fatherhood.

"So 1 day salman will also be married," a fan commented.



Another added, "Matlab bhai shadi karna chahte hai."



Salman has long dodged questions about marriage, but this post begs the question on whether this was a casual comment or a confession that he is ready to become a family man?



Meanwhile, others had a field day roasting Salman, telling him, "Sojao Bhaijaan..." another added, "Loving the old school captions."



On the work front, the actor will be seen playing a man in uniform in 'Battle of Galwan'. According to recent buzz, the movie will start filming this August with the first part being shot in Ladakh, after which, it will then have scheduled in Mumbai and Kashmir.
