Bollywood star Salman Khan poses for the media.

There is something about Salman Khan that is noteworthy and eyecatching.

On screen, he is the larger-than-life leviathan, with high on adrenalin scenes that show him duffing up the lowlifes to a pulp; who, despite being on the wrong side of 50, looks evergreen, romancing girls much younger than him; who is the eternal do-gooder, an extraordinary saviour for the ordinary man.

Off screen, controversy seems to always dog him, be it the black buck case, or his one-time faceoff with King Khan in the not-too-distant past, or even his apparent affair with actress Aishwarya Rai.

He is also known to be a star with a large heart, known for his generosity.

He has a huge reach on social media. Now his online popularity has hit the stratosphere  – he has, hold your breath, 30 million followers on Instagram now!

He made a freakish 'thank you video' for his growing fan base.

Sharing a boomerang video of himself thanking his fans, Salman, who has been entertaining the audience since the eighties, wrote: "Ouii ma 30 million! Thank u all!"

Fans in return have left him comments like: "Love you salman khan", "Ohoo swag" and "m ur biggest fan sir @beingsalmankhan I love uh".
