Salman Khan To Sell His Paintings & The Money Will Go Straight To Charity!
Salman Khan has decided to sell some of his paintings and all the money he receives will directly go to the Being Human charity foundation.
We all know that Salman Khan loves to paint and the actor has not sold any of his paintings. He has instead gifted them to his family and friends. He gifted a huge wall portrait to his sister Arpita Khan, later gifted Kareena Kapoor a live-sized painting of two lovers, a monochrome painting of a man to Asin, three paintings to Chitrangada Singh, one each to Kabir Khan and Mahesh Manjrekar and also one to his close family friend Bina Kak.
The
idea
of
selling
his
paintings
came
when
a
big
businessman
impressed
by
his
painting
of
a
mother-son
locked
in
an
embrace
offered
the
actor
a
sum
of
Rs
20
Lakhs
to
purchase
it.
Salman
refused
the
offer
and
charged
a
whopping
1
Crore
instead
as
the
painting
is
close
to
his
heart.
The
businessman
without
second
thoughts
picked
it
up
and
Salman
invested
the
money
in
his
Being
Human
charity
foundation.
Since then, Salman Khan has been receiving many offers from various people to buy his paintings and now the actor has decided to sell some of his works and the earnings will go straight to the Being Human charity foundation. A source close to the actor was quoted as saying to Mumbai Mirror,
"Salman's paintings are all about the emotions of life. They are focussed on love, family ties and the oneness of religion, which are all feelings that resonate with the actor. They are extremely personal and he does not paint for money or fame; he does it for the joy and peace it brings him. His family and friends are always gifting him canvases, paints and brushes, but Salman insists that his best works are on life-sized frames with hands. Those will be the paintings up for purchase too."
