The thought of Salman Shah as the lead hero naturally brings to mind the name of Shabnur as his leading lady. The duo made one of the most successful couples in Dhallywood. In fact, they were paired together 14 times out of the 27 films that he had done in his career.

The chemistry between the two used to be the talk of the Dhallywood industry. However, Shabnur has always termed their relationship as 'friendship'. She remembers him as a friend almost every year birth and death anniversaries.

On the occasion of Salman Shah's death anniversary, Shabnur took to her social media and posted three pictures with him, captioning, "Where have you gone, Salman? Your memories still leave me in tears."

Wishing peace upon Salman Shah's soul, Shabnur added, "Today is the death anniversary of the immortal hero Salman Shah. Even after 27 years, people in the film fraternity and his fans have not forgotten him. May you remain well wherever you are."
