Bollywood movies in which Salman Khan dies

Salman Khan, the Bhai of Bollywood, who emerges as a saviour and fighter in his films, also faced death in a few of them. Isn't it ironic that films in which the characters played by Shah Rukh Khan died turned out to be hit whereas films in which Salman’s character died have done average or below average business.
It may be because his fans failed to differentiate between his onscreen and offscreen character. But this also portrays that the actor has the potential to carry off any character with ease.

Let's have a look at few films in which Salman Khan's character dies...
