THROWBACK: When Salman Khan admitted giving large part of his income to charity; ‘Main sirf 10% ko hi haath lagata hoon’

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.

5 best Kiara Advani movies on Netflix that are popcorn-worthy

Kiara Advani leads the pack of Bollywood’s most sought-after actresses of recent times, and there’s no doubt that she deserves all the success. While the actress has given numerous successful performances ever since her debut, our recommendation of Kiara Advani‘s best movies on Netflix is watch-worthy.

 

5 best Kiara Advani movies that are no less than wholesome to watch

 

1. Bhool Bhulaaiya 2

 

Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, Tabu
IMDb Rating: 5.7/10
Release Year: 2022
Genre: Comedy, Horror

Bhool Bhulaaiya 2 is indeed one of the biggest milestones of Kiara Advani’s career, and it is available to watch on Netflix. The horror comedy is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa and revolves around a pretentious ghostbuster Ruhaan (Kartik) and Reet (Kiara), who find themselves in a haunting mansion.

While Kiara is a standalone star in all her sequences, her scenes with Kartik also ooze immense chemistry. If we talk about one specific standout moment of the actress, it’ll be when she first starts to deal with supernatural forces and has a massive confrontation showdown.

Things surely look less spooky with Kiara’s charm, making Bhool Bhulaaiya 2 one of the most successful films of all time.

 

2. Kabir Singh

 

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Kiara Advani
IMDb Rating: 7.0/10
Release Year: 2019
Genre: Action, Romance

We wouldn’t be lying if we said that Kabir Singh changed the fate of Kiara Advani’s career, and she was indeed so good at it. The movie was a remake of the Telugu film Arjun Reddy and revolved around a brilliant but troubled surgeon played by Shahid. Kiara played his love interest. She is typically a girl next door who is soft-spoken and emotionally charged.

If we talk about her standout moment from this film, then it is when Kiara’s character Preeti meets Kabir after a long time of separation, and she assures her love for Shahid’s character. The film was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Advani holding a major portion of the driving seat. Watch out for this one if you love a lot of drama-driven love stories.

 

3. Lust Stories

 

Cast: Kiara Advani, Vicky Kaushal, Neha Dhupia
IMDb Rating: 6.4/10
Release Year: 2018
Genre: Anthology drama

Lust Stories is an anthology of four short films about love, lust, and relationships in contemporary India. Kiara stars in a segment directed by Karan Johar and plays the role of Megha, a newly married school teacher. The plot revolves around her character’s unsatisfied marriage due to her husband’s lack of understanding of her sexual needs.

In this one, Kiara explores her bold side with this show, which is a brave departure from her usual conventional Bollywood roles. The film perfectly takes a candid ride on themes of sexual desires set against modern relationships, and Kiara’s performance is just icing on the cake, which you cannot have enough of. 

4. Guilty

 

Cast: Kiara Advani, Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, Gurfateh Pirzada
IMDb Rating: 5.4/10
Release Year: 2020
Genre: Drama, Thriller

Kiara Advani takes up the character of Nanki Dutta in this film, which is set in the aftermath of an alleged sexual assault in a college. The diva’s character is a rebel who happens to be the girlfriend of the accused and finds herself caught in the investigation process. This is one of Kiara’s rarest grey performances, and she surely performed it well, especially the climax sequence of her confrontation.

Guilty is indeed a thought-provoking film that challenges society’s pre-set assumptions, and Kiara’s performance is central to its impact. Watch out for this one for an edge-of-the-seat experience and, of course, the diva’s out-of-box performances.

 

5. Indoo Ki Jawani

 

Cast: Kiara Advani, Aditya Seal, Mallika Dua
IMDb Rating: 3.3/10
Release Year: 2020
Genre: Comedy, Drama

We’ll be honest: Don’t expect much from the story, but watch it for Kiara’s Ghaziabaadi flavor. Indoo Ki Jawani is a light-hearted comedy-drama about Advani’s character, who hops on online dating after a saddening heartbreak. Kiara carries the film on her shoulders with tongue-in-cheek sequences and misadventures on dating apps that will only leave you laughing madly on your couch.

The scene where Indoo tries to impress a potential match by cooking a meal is to die for. Although Indoo Ki Jawani wasn’t a critical success, it was surely an entertaining watch because of Kiara’s lively performance paired with its fun and breezy comic narrative.

These are 5 of the best Kiara Advani movies on Netflix that you must watch. Also, @pinkvilla, come back to tell us which one you liked the most. We’ll be waiting.

Kriti Sanon says she ‘loves’ Shah Rukh Khan; ‘He is one of those few people who you are…’

Who isn’t a fan of Shah Rukh Khan? Even the biggest celebrities out there speak loud and fondly of King Khan, and Kriti Sanon is one of them. The actress recently sat in conversation with Nikhil Kamath, rapper Badshah, and cricketer KL Rahul, where she couldn’t contain her excitement, and expressed her admiration for Dilwale co-star.

The conversation began when Badshah, whose original name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, was asked about his inspiration for choosing the stage name. The rapper was quick to reason it, “I am a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan.” Nikhil, in response, said, “I love Shah Rukh Khan.” This is when Kriti joined the conversation, saying, “I love him. He is one of those few people who you are a fan of and then you meet him and become a bigger fan.”

Nikhil Kamath then revealed how every time he is in Mumbai, he makes sure he spends a night at Shah Rukh Khan’s house. “Both of us sit down and chat for four to five hours,” Kamath shared. Kriti again joined the conversation, saying, “He is very intelligent,” to which Nikhil stretched, saying, “The kind of advice the man gives, it’s incredible. I go to him just for his gyan.”

For the unversed, while Kriti and SRK have never been cast opposite each other, they did share the screen in Dilwale. The 2015 film also starred Kajol and Varun Dhawan in lead roles. During a recent Times Now Summit, Sanon was asked about her opinion on the prevalent insider-outsider debate in Bollywood.

The actress made sure to drop by the example of SRK, who, despite being an outsider, made it big in showbiz. Kriti Sanon was heard saying, “Shah Rukh Khan is an absolute outsider and the best example of insider-outsider debate that we keep having. It is a matter eventually.”

On the work front, Kriti was last seen in the superhit movie Crew alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Tabu. She is now gearing up for the release of Do Patti, which she is also producing. Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, will be next seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s King alongside Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma.
