Salman Khan Describes an Unseen Presence in His Galaxy Apartments Bedroom on *Koffee With Karan*

On October 14, 2026, the opening episode of the ninth season of *Koffee With Karan* aired, featuring Salman Khan as the inaugural guest. Host Karan Johar recalled his 1998 visit to the Khan family’s flat in Mumbai’s Galaxy Apartments, describing the bedroom as “the tiniest room” with a single cupboard, bed and closet.

Salman Khan said the lights flickered whenever he left the room, cupboards opened on their own, and the music system started playing without cause. He also felt a presence outside the bathroom cupboard and heard it while a billiards table was being used nearby.

When asked if the room was haunted, Khan said he sensed a presence but did not label it a haunting, adding that it never frightened him because “nothing did” to him. He humorously requested the unseen entity to reveal itself if it were a “really beautiful woman.”

• “Not haunting… but a presence was felt. Whenever I played music, I could feel its presence. So, I used to play music for it and walk out of the room. There was a billiards table outside, and whenever we played there, we could hear that someone was inside the room.” — Salman Khan

The Khan family has lived in Galaxy Apartments since the 1970s, moving into a modest flat there in the 1990s. Recent reports suggest a possible relocation to a six-storey building in Chimbai Village, Bandra, though no date has been announced.
