Mumbai: Salman Khan recently shared a playful message for his friend’s newly opened cafe in Bandra, Mumbai.
While congratulating the cafe, the actor also had a cheeky reminder about maintaining its prices, quality and hygiene, along with an apparent reference to Maharashtra FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe.
Sharing a video of The Tuck Shop at Savio’s on his Instagram Story, Salman jokingly asked for his coffee to be refilled while urging the cafe not to compromise on its prices, quality or hygiene standards. His remark appeared to reference Tukaram Mundhe, who is known for his strict action against food outlets.
Resharing the cafe owner’s video, the actor wrote, “Refill my coffee ya please. Price mat badhana, quality maintain karna. Hygiene maintained or I will send HIM and it’s done sis.” While Salman did not mention Mundhe by name, his reference to “HIM” appeared to be a cheeky nod to the FDA chief, who has been leading a crackdown on food safety violations across Maharashtra. Salman also gave his viral “It’s done, bro” catchphrase a playful twist by signing off with “it’s done sis.”
Tukaram Mundhe has become a familiar name in Maharashtra’s food safety crackdown since taking charge as FDA Commissioner on May 26, 2026.
In just two months, his team reportedly conducted more than 3,000 inspections and suspended the licences of nearly 165 establishments.
His strict approach has also earned him the “real-life Singham” tag on social media. Under his leadership, the FDA has stepped up surprise inspections at restaurants, hotels, clubs, fast-food outlets and institutional kitchens, taking action over issues such as poor hygiene, food adulteration, fake paneer, adulterated milk and operating without licences.
Addressing students on Independence Day, Mundhe said, “I think for a healthy nation, healthy people are important. For healthy people, healthy food and medicine are important. And for that, regulators need to work towards that goal.”
On the professional front, Salman Khan is gearing up to host ‘Bigg Boss 20’, which is scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2026, on JioHotstar and Colors TV.
The actor will next headline ‘Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace’, earlier titled Battle of Galwan. The film is currently undergoing reshoots.
Salman is also set to star in Vamshi Paidipally’s ‘Monster’, which features Nayanthara as the female lead and is expected to release around Eid 2027.
