Superstar Salman Khan celebrates 57th birthday on Tuesday! Interestingly, in his three-decade-long career, he has come to be identified with the name "Prem," and he has proudly carried it in 15 films!
‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!’
A cult classic in its own right immortalized the evergreen jodi of Khan and Madhuri Dixit. From their love at first sight to their vibrant chemistry in the multiple songs, viewers loved it all.
‘Judwaa’
A film that proved that Khan could make the audiences laugh out loud and concretized his comic timing, David Dhawan's Judwaa (1997) featured him in double roles: Raja and Prem.
‘Biwi No.1’
Biwi No. 1 (1999) is a quintessential, massy Hindi film. The twist to the tale is brought about when the protagonist Prem Mehra gets into an extramarital affair, leading to severe trouble.

Fans were elated to see him back in his original ‘Prem’ avatar after years. The overwhelming sense of nostalgia attached to the "brand Prem" reportedly helped the movie to become a blockbuster.
