WATCH: Superstar Salman Khan announces 'wedding date'

The Bollywood hunk wants to get married on the same date as his parents.

Probably the most eligible bachelor in Bollywood, superstar Salman Khan, has finally announced his wedding date - sometime in November!

Salman made the announcement at the launch of India tennis star Sania Mirza's autobiography launch, 'Ace Against Odds'. Responding to an oft-repeated question - this time by Mirza - about when he is planning to settled down.

"Everyone wants to know when are you getting married? It's the most important question." - Sania Mirza

A slightly embarrassed Salman paused to think of an appropriate answer, the emcee of the event suggested, "18th November" - which Salman seconded.

"Yes. 18th November. Yeh 18th November, yeh kuch bees pachees November se chal raha hai. Lekin pata nahi kaunse saal main hoga. Lekin hoga. (This 18th November has been going on for the last 20-25 Novembers. I don't know which year it will happen but it will happen.)"

Why November 18? It is the same date when his father Salim Khan married his mother Salma and his kid sister Arpita Khan tied the knot two years back.

The star added that the pressure was mounting on him to get married.

"I know a few who are complaining. Aapko nahi pata kitna pressure hai. (You don't know the amount of pressure on me.). I am talking about my mother and sisters. They want me to get married."

Seems like there is still hope for all the female fans out there, who are either not keen for the star to settle down or are hoping that one of them might be the lucky lady, however it seems a certain Ms lulia Vantur is the top candidate to become Mrs Khan.
