★ Cutting Edge !
What kind of Indian passes up an airconditioned saloon to get a haircut in the open? The hard working Indian, of course. Salman Khan is a superstar for sure but usually he’s just being human - like when he plonked down on a chair to allow a stylist have a quick scissor session on the sets to get his sideburns in shape.
God Bless Salman Bro <33!!
★ (Slideshow) HOPE is where the HEART is… Salman Khan unveil ‘The Little Hearts Program’ !
Fortis Foundation joins hands with Being Human to unveil ‘The Little Hearts Program’ - To provide free treatment to children with congenital heart defects,every year
The joint initiative will leverage Fortis’ extensive network of hospitals across the country. Over fifty children have already been treated in six few weeks at the Fortis Hospital in Mulund, Mumbai, and at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon (FMRI).
Said,Salman Khan, “From time to time, Being Human is approached by cases of children with heart conditions. The solution is very specialised and not financially affordable for a number of people. We needed to partner with a reputed institution that could offer a sustained solution, preferably at a pan-India level. In Fortis, we have found such a partner. Within ten minutes of my first meeting with Shivinder Singh, we shook hands and fifty cases have already been attended to in less than six weeks.
★ Guess whom we spotted shopping at Salman’s store?

★ Salman promises 2,500 water tanks to drought-hit Maharashtra districts !
Whoever said that celebrities don’t care about what’s going on in the real world, Salman Khan will make them rethink that. He has promised to donate 2,500 water tanks to drought-hit districts in Maharashtra, which is facing its worst drought in 40 years.
Across Maharashtra, it has been a devastatingly dry summer as more than 11,000 villages grapple with the worst drought in four decades. But there might be some respite soon as Salman Khan has provided some relief to parts of Vidharbha and Marathwada.

Mumbai: Whoever said that celebrities don’t care about what’s going on in the real world, Salman Khan will make them rethink that. He has promised to donate 2,500 water tanks to drought-hit districts in Maharashtra, which is facing its worst drought in 40 years.
Across Maharashtra, it has been a devastatingly dry summer as more than 11,000 villages grapple with the worst drought in four decades. But there might be some respite soon as Salman Khan has provided some relief to parts of Vidharbha and Marathwada.
“I don’t want be remembered as an actor, I just want to be known by ‘Being Human’. This Salman Khan name should just vanish now, it should go,” Salman said.
The actor, through his charity, Being Human, has promised to distribute 2,500 water tanks in the region. And 400 of these tanks have already been sent to Osmanabad, Beed, Jalna, Aurangabad and Nanded, some of the areas hit worst by the drought.
Salman Khan is not alone. Taking a cue from the ‘Dabangg’ star, veteran singer Asha Bhosle has pledged Rs 5 lakh to the Chief Minister’s Relief fund. Nana Patekar, too, has donated his cash prize of Rs 10 lakh from the Raj Kapoor Memorial award for drought relief. Earlier this year, some eco-conscious Bollywood stars had even propagated water-free Holi celebrations, keeping in mind the acute water shortage in Maharashtra.
Till the time the rain gods smile on the country, one hopes that more stars do their bit to end the dry spell.
