There should be competition for doing charity: Salman Khan

There should be competition for doing charity: Salman Khan

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is known for his philanthropic ways, feels that people should compete for doing charity.

"I feel there should be competition in this area (doing charity). I am sure everyone would be doing charity. I think everyone should open a charitable trust and then see where it reaches...to what level," Salman told reporters.

Salman, who has on various occasions lent his star power to charitable causes, said that many of the industry friends have come forward and supported his charitable trust 'Being Human' Foundation.

"We do offer help to those who need money for education, cancer and ailments. From the industry Sanjay Dutt, Karan Johar have donated something. But we are not taking any help as such... money is coming from clothing (from the stores)," the 47-year-old said.

"People can however offer help by logging on to the website," he said. The actor has stores of his clothing line 'Being Human' in Belgium, France, Middle East and Spain.

"The response has been good to the stores and we are happy about it...we are excited about opening the store in India," Salman said.

Talking about the USP of 'Being Human', he said, "the quality is good...its nice and different. One can make out ..differetiate between fake and real 'Being Human' T-shirts."

Salman, however said he would not be promoting the apparel brand in films because "the characters that I play won't look good in those T-shirts," he said.

I wish there's actual charity and not just media reports of charity. Currently I only see competition in media reports, TV shows, awards celebs get for doing activism or charity. No idea how much of it is real.

Social work is anyday better news than box office battles. But it doesn't even seem right if social issues/charity are only used as an image-building exercise by celebs!

Umm No Mr. Salman Khan. There should be no competition for charity whatsoever. One does charity to help the needy because they want to not because of some competition. I find it stupid when celebs or media or whoever publicize their charity work. My parents tell me if you help someone with right hand, left hand shouldn't know about it.

Of course not...If one gets anykind of return for their charity...even if its in the form of Goodwill...then thats not charity in true sense...Charity is giving without any returns in any form...

I don't think so. When you do "charity" for publicity, it doesn't have the same meaning left. That's like doing it to set your image right in public's image.

He is actually last one who should to charity cause for years he did it.

If it wasn't for him Bhansali Hrithik Ranbir many many directors . Lots of girls and item girls. I am pretty sure he let srk stay in house parents house for a while. Of course These people made it on their own strentghs . But he has helped so many filmy personalities and now is helping regular people. When we have stars like the great __________ (fill in the blank) who do not lift fingers for anyone
