I am no Husain, says Salman Khan

Mumbai: He makes a face when he is very angry with himself. Sometimes it's his mom's, his girlfriend's, his friends' -- he takes hours scratching his drawing pencil on the canvas behind closed doors of his studio at Bandstand. Today, those "faces" are worth somewhere around Rs6 crore.

"Salman had wanted to exhibit his paintings before, but now he is open to auctioning them for physically challenged kids. We have spoken to a few people and most have agreed that the base price of each of his paintings will be Rs50 lakh," says a close friend of the star, adding that they are looking at putting up 10-12 canvases under the hammer.
When we checked in with Salman, he quips, "You make it sound as if I am Picasso or Dali. I am no Husain, meri jaan. I am an actor and I only sketch when I am not doing anything. But if my efforts can help these lovely kids, then why not? I will be holding the exhibition soon. I am open to auctioning them and of course, I am not taking any money home."

Salman reveals that he decided to work for challenged kids when he met a few hearing impaired children from DEEDS, a public charitable trust.

"I have never seen such a lovely bunch of kids before. They were so excited when I was playing with them! I couldn't believe when the person accompanying them told me that they could not hear a word that I was telling them. I realised that I have been working for children before but I now need to work for challenged kids. I heard that they have a school for the deaf at Dehradun, I am sure if we join hands, there will be more such institutes in the country," Salman adds.

What about his photographs that he planned to exhibit? "You can't put up all that on show. I don't think I will put that up. I have left my camera in Jodhpur. So I am not taking photographs anymore," he says.

Yes but it's really sad that he won't put up his Photographs in Exhibition as he is supposed to be a very good Photographer!
