Statement
Once, father said Khan would have become an artist
This new development definitely adds another feather to Khan's cap.
Once, talking about his skills, his father Salim Khan had said, "His instinct for painting comes in waves. Whenever he's inspired or is in the mood, he paints, whether he's at home or at our Panvel farmhouse. Perhaps, he could have been an artist if he hadn't become an actor. (sic)"

In 2015, he had gifted painting to Kareena Kapoor Khan
Khan is also known for gifting his paintings. In 2015, he had gifted his Bajrangi Bhaijaan co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan a portrait of a couple.
The Bollywood superstar also finds a mention on Google Arts website. He has been described as a versatile artist whose "figures are impactful, devoid of emotion, but extremely arresting. Much like the characters, he brings to the canvas. (sic)"
