Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is currently among the most-loved actors in the Hindi film industry. In the past decade, Salman has delivered some record-breaking successes and his presence in a film guarantees huge hype and promotion. In his acting career, spanning over three decades, the actor has made cameos or special appearances in many movies. Most of the time, he ended up doing cameos for his industry friends.

While his special appearances in films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani are considered memorable, fans have forgotten several cameos of him. Below, let's take a look at the list of Salman's cameo appearances which we probably forgot existed:

Dushman Duniya Ka (1996)

The film was one of Salman's first cameos, and it also featured Shah Rukh Khan in a special appearance. The Dabangg actor starred in the film as himself. Directed by veteran actor and filmmaker Mehmood, Dushman Duniya Ka featured Jeetendra, Sumalatha, Manzoor Ali among others in pivotal roles. 

Deewana Mastana (1997)

The romantic-comedy starring Anil Kapoor, Govinda, and Juhi Chawla also has Salman in a special appearance. For a sequence, the superstar appeared as Prem (his popular screen name) with Juhi (the only time the two have been paired opposite each other in a film). Helmed by David Dhawan, Deewana Mastana also featured Anupam Kher, Shakti Kapoor, Reema Lagoo, Johnny Lever, Kader Khan, and Saeed Jaffrey in supporting roles. 

Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (2000)

In the film, starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai (ahem ahem!) in the lead roles, Salman appeared as a truck driver. Dhai Akshar Prem Ke was released a year after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, however, Salman only shared the screen space with Abhishek in it and not Aishwarya. The movie was directed by Raj Kanwar. 

Isi Life Mein (2010)

Salman played himself in Sooraj Barjatya's production venture, Isi Life Mein, which marked the Bollywood debut of Akshay Oberoi and Sandeepa Dhar. Reportedly, the superstar did this cameo due to his close bond with Sooraj. For the unversed, the duo has delivered hits like Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun among others together. 

Phata Poster Nikla Hero (2013)

After making a special appearance in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, director Rajkumar Santoshi roped in Salman to do a cameo in his next film, Phata Poster Nikla Hero. Salman and Shahid shared the screen space for the first time in this film which turned out to be a flop at the box office.
