The website Salman Khan Files was opened in 2013.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan had opened a website in 2013 to put up information and latest updates on the court cases filed against him. The actor set up the website after it was noticed that the information floating around in connection with his cases were misleading and inaccurate. This in turn had affected him on a personal and professional level.

Salman decided to open the online forum to allow his fans access to all the updates and progress of his impending cases. The actor opened up about the reason behind starting The Salman Khan Files. He said, "Certain court cases are filed against me. There is widespread media reporting of these cases. The reports are sometimes inaccurate and misleading, and cause damage to my reputation, both personal and professional. I have been advised to put up this website to provide easy accessible information about the ongoing status of these cases."

However, after the actor was acquitted of all charges in the 2002 hit-and-run case, the site has now become redundant. On December 10, 2015, Salman Khan walked away form the Bombay High Court a free man, for lack of incriminating evidence against him.

"On basis of evidences produced by the prosecution, the appellant cannot be convicted, no matter how differently the common man thinks," the Bombay High Court ruled. 

Salman had kept several film projects on hold as he was unsure of the court’s ruling. In interviews proceeding the acquittal, he also revealed why he remained single for this long. In an interview with a magazine, Salu revealed that he kept marriage and fatherhood on hold because he didn’t want his child to grow up with its father in prison.

On the work front, Salman is waiting for the release of his film ‘Sultan’. The actor will also begin work on Kabir Khan’s next film that is expected to go on floors next month.
