The world of Salman Khan fans came to a sudden halt when the superstar’s official Instagram account, boasting millions of followers, suddenly vanished. Users trying to access his page were met with a cold error message: ‘Sorry, this page isn't available.’ This sent shockwaves in the digital world, making his audience worried about his well-being.

Did Salman Khan delete his Instagram account?

A while back, Salman Khan’s Instagram handle ‘beingsalmankhan’ went missing, saddening his fans. While his profile was restored roughly 30 minutes later, the brief deactivation sent shockwaves through social media.

But when News9 Digital exclusively spoke to Khan’s team, they informed that his Instagram account was “hung and was being reset”. Luckily, the problem is resolved now and Salman Khan’s Instagram is accessible to everyone.

The incident follows a tumultuous week of deeply emotional, unfiltered, and late-night posts from the actor, sparking intense conversation about celebrity privacy, media ethics, and the mental toll of life. The digital disappearance comes at a time of confrontation between Salman Khan and the paparazzi outside Mumbai’s hospital.

Talking about the incident, the photographers reportedly followed the Tiger 3 star’s vehicle from a traffic signal all the way to the medical facility, where he was visiting an acquaintance. As the actor exited, photographers aggressively shouted, “Bhai, bhai, Maatrubhumi,” referencing his upcoming film and waiting for him to pose for their cameras.

A visibly irritated Salman then confronted the press group directly on his Instagram by dropping four posts with his selfies. The photographers later apologized to the star.

Salman Khan remains one of the busiest and most physically dedicated actors in Indian cinema. He is currently gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated film, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace.

Beyond Maatrubhumi, the superstar has begun working on an upcoming mega-project directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Tentatively titled SVC63, it also features South Indian superstar Nayanthara.
