1999 didn’t start on an encouraging note for the best selling star of 1998, with Janam Samjha Karo failing to live up to the hype. However, Salman quickly made amends with Biwi No.1 which Govinda had rejected because of its feminine title. A macho Salman had no problems on that count and the film gave one of the year’s biggest hits. The super success of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam shot his ratings higher.

Coming in the wake of two super-hits, his home production Hello Brother opened to a bumper initial draw but Salman’s virtuoso performance wasn’t enough to salvage a film abounding in juvenile humour. The year ended on a happy note for him with another super-hit Hum Saath-Saath Hain, ensuring that he’s 1999’s numero uno superstar. On the personal front, Salman continues to be the country’s most eligible but elusive bachelor who has still to decide which girl will be his biwi no.1, the ever faithful Somy Ali or the fair and lovely Aishwarya? Only Salman can answer the million dollar question of the millennium.
