In Pics: Salman Khan in Arunachal Pradesh to attend Mechuka Festival

Salman Khan was shooting for his upcoming movie ‘Bharat’ and today he jetted off to Dibrugarh by a chartered flight. From there, he headed towards Arunachal Pradesh to attend the Mechuka Festival in the state that has started from today. He is there to inaugurate the second edition of the MTB Arunachal Mountain Bicycle Race.

Salman has a connection with the state ever since he met Matin Rey Tengu, the kid who starred in the movie ‘Tubelight’. He also shares a good bonding with the Union Minister of State Kiren Rijiju.

Here are the pictures of Salman from Arunachal Pradesh.

Earlier, while interacting with media during a curtain-raiser event for the second edition of an MTB Arunachal Mountain Bicycle Race in Mumbai, the actor expressed his desire to visit Arunachal as his little co-star Matin always invited him to his homeland. He said, “I have never been there, but I don’t know why I like Arunachal Pradesh so much that I just wanted to go there for longest time to see the place and to be there. I did a film called ‘Tubelight’ with child actor Matin Rey Tangu who hails from Arunachal Pradesh. So, whenever he used to meet me, he used to tell me to visit Itanagar which is in Arunachal Pradesh.”

Salman also donned a traditional maroon Monpa jacket from the state and shared a picture on his Instagram handle. “Wearing a traditional lovely #monpa jacket from Arunachal Pradesh. If u want to be with real nature and at peace, visit the beautiful #ArunachalPradesh,” he captioned the picture.
