Salman's brushing for charity
Mumbai: Salman Khan always had a flair for painting. Now, he is turning his craft into a full-fledged medium to raise money for his charity Being Human. Salman has plans of auctioning his paintings and a few of his industry friends have joined hands to support him. We also hear that the actor is in talks with many art galleries who are keen to hold exhibitions of his paintings. Salman will donate the entire money collected from these events to his foundation.
The actor turns full-time painter; is negotiating with art galleries to hold exhibitions of his paintings to raise money for his foundation.

He says, "I am painting a lot these days so I can then sell them and use the money for the foundation. Till my hands, legs and mind are in working condition I will work hard and try and do as much as I can for the foundation. I will put in as much money as I can afford to."

He adds, "Sometimes when you have an overflow of money, it gets spent on parties. So I'd rather give the money here. I used to do this earlier also but I was very embarrassed to talk about it.
Now, I have started Being Human. So, I'm going to show off and talk about it — kissi ko acha lage ya na lage (irrespective of whether someone likes it or not). I just want people to know that if I can do it so can you. And that's the reason why I have started this foundation."

Salman has always been just a call away from anyone who needs his help. He has helped pavement dwellers, participated in events organised by Cancer Patients Aid Association, funded terminally ill patients' surgeries and helped authorities running remand homes.

He says, "God gives you so much and you know eventually you need to start giving it back. Everyone does that, I'm sure, in some way or the other. I have always supported charities in my own way. If I can raise funds through an hour's work cutting ribbons, I would rather do that than have charities where people would feel obliged to donate money."

Such a nice interview.
Sometimes when you have an overflow of money, it gets spent on parties. So I'd rather give the money here. I wish everyone would try and do that.
Awww, he said if he can raise funds by cutting ribbons for an hour, he'd rather do that than charities where people feel obliged to donate money. He makes me fall in love everytime. 😳😃
Thanks for posting.
