Salman Khan will now sell his paintings for a noble cause!

It's well-known that Bollywood's Sultan Salman Khan loves to paint and hasn't sold any of his work. And in over the last decade, he has gifted a painted wall portrait to sister Arpita Khan Sharma, a live-size portrait of two lovers to Kareena Kapoor Khan, a monochrome painting of a man to Asin, among others, including one to close family friend Bina Kak and his director buddies, Kabir Khan and Mahesh Manjrekar.

In 2016, a businessman who is a fan wanted to acquire his portrait of a mother and son locked in an embrace for a price of Rs 20 lakh. However, the hunky actor thought the price was too small for a painting that is very dear to him. Later, when Salman was offered a crazy amount of Rs 1 crore for the same painting, he sold it and invested the money in his Being Human foundation. 

Following several similar offers, the 51-year-old actor has decided to sell some of his works, the earnings of which will go to his charity foundation. A source close to the actor told 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."
