Mumbai: President of Mumbai Bharatiya Janata Party Ashish Shelar visited the home of Hindi film industry mega-star Salman Khan in what is being described as a “lunch diplomacy” in political circles, as the Lok Sabha election season 2024 is underway.
Shelar, Bandra west MLA called on the Khans Sunday afternoon for a hearty meal as the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close this week, punctuated by scores of VVIPs hosting late-evening iftaar parties in the past four weeks.
“Pleased to meet Salim Khan ji, Helen ji and family over lunch…” gushed Shelar after the luncheon and posted his picture with the famous father-son duo.
