A blood donation camp organized to commemorate the 52nd birthday of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, held in Pune at the Sambhaji Garden on J M road, has found an extra cause to make news. Salman Khan, who has in recent years been associated with all sorts of noble and charity acts, made appearance at the occasion, to donate blood himself.

The crowd of commoners were held up at the camp for two reasons hence - to meet the celebrated Khan and to a win 4 GB pen-drive (a prize kept as an event promotional motivation). As many as an approximate number of 10,000 donors were gathered together at this event for the good cause; not to mention countless many who were encouraged to donate blood in following Salman's cue.

While the presence of a star can be source of some inconvenience to general public at such occasions, one has to agree, there is the other side of drawing greater crowds and motivating them for a good purpose. A fair trade off, at that?!
