Salman Khan, who is now gearing up for his upcoming film, Sikandar, is not just a superstar, but he is also a humanitarian. Salman is known for extending his support to industry colleagues and common people. The Tiger 3 actor is also the first bone marrow donor in India. There was a time when Bollywood Bhaijaan opened up about his earnings while stating that he only keeps 10 per cent of his income with him and donates a large part of it to charity.
During his old interview with Aap Ki Adalat, Salman Khan was quizzed to clarify if he keeps 10 per cent of his earnings and donates 90 per cent of it to charity. Salman cleared the air around this buzz while claiming that half of the rumor was true.
"Ye sach hai ki main sirf 10 per cent ko hi haath lagata hu. Baaki ka jo paisa hai wo jaata hai charity ke andar but it's not like 90 per cent of it goes to charity. A lot of money goes to the charity. (It's true that I only touch 10 per cent of my earnings. The rest of the money goes to charity but not 90 per cent of it)," Salman said.
The Tiger 3 actor elaborated on it saying that people think that he has a huge amount of money. The superstar added that a lot of heart and cancer patients approach his foundation (a charitable trust). His father, screenwriter Salim Khan signs a lot of cheques for the treatments, he expressed. Salman further shared that he has to bear a lot of expenses and that is why he has started working even more.For the uninitiated, Salman Khan is proudly India's first bone marrow donor. In 2010, he donated his bone marrow to a young girl named Pooja who required its transplant to survive. In an earlier interview with Bollywood Hungama, actor Suniel Shetty admired Salman's selfless act by saying that he is "God's favorite child". Suniel referred to Salman as a man "who wants a change in society and that’s why God is kind to him".
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Salman Khan's upcoming movie, Sikandar, is slated to release on Eid 2025. It also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Suniel Shetty.
