Salman Khan reacts after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat calls him an inspiration for college students: What he wears, they do the same

Salman Khan reacted with a smile after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat referred to him as an inspiration for college students at a Mumbai event. The moment was captured on camera as Salman, seated in the audience, was seen listening attentively to Bhagwat’s remarks.

Several videos and pictures from the 100 Years of Sangh Journey: New Horizons event have since surfaced on social media.

‘Salman Khan ji kya pehen te hai...’

In one of the clips from the event, Mohan Bhagwat explained how Salman Khan’s choices often influence young people, particularly college students.

“Salman Khan ji kya pehen te hai, college vidyarthi waese pehente hai. Kyun pehen rahe hai? ‘Unhone pehna hai isliye.’ Unhone kyun pehna hai? ‘Maloon nahi,’” Bhagwat said. (What Salman Khan wears, college students do the same. Why do they do it? Because he is wearing it. Why is he wearing it? I don’t know.)

He went on to add, “Sabhi baaton mein aesa, acchi baat buri baat, fashion se hi chalta hai. Fashion utpanna karne waale log hote hai woh samaajh k vishwas paatra, shrestha, keerteemaan, aese log hote hai...” (Its the same in every matter, good or bad, everything is driven by fashion. Those who create fashion in society are considered trustworthy, excellent and accomplished.)

Fans echo Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks Soon after the video began circulating online, several social media users echoed Mohan Bhagwat’s remarks, noting Salman Khan’s long-standing influence on popular culture. Many pointed out that the actor has been a trendsetter since the 1990s, with his fitness-driven image and bodybuilding inspiring an entire generation of young fans.

Others recalled some of Salman’s most iconic style moments over the years—from his towel dance and ripped denims to the signature look of tying a shirt around his waist—styles that were widely emulated by college-going youth at the time. Several users also mentioned how even his accessories, particularly the firoza bracelet, went on to become a fashion statement among his admirers.
