Salman Khan’s new cause

Actor Salman Khan, who has rooted for his philanthropic foundation in 10 Ka Dum, is expected to do the same as the new host of the hit TV reality show Bigg Boss on Colors. Word of mouth is that Salman is also exploring possibilities how he can reach more needy people with his organisation. Salman, who is also launching merchandise for the charity, is even looking at exploring feature films to spread the word around.

Salman confirms to DNA, “It is true that I’m exploring how to go about it but it’s not something that I would want to discuss and reveal right now. In Bigg Boss my role is to ease the pressure of the contestants.”

Salman’s merchandise line includes watches, shirts, cuff-links and many other products. “There are lots of avenues that I’m exploring. It is a very affordable line as I’m looking at involving as many people possible to join me in my cause. God has created everyone equal and so we should all get the same education and opportunities,” he says.

Salman adds, “Because someone is underprivileged doesn’t mean that person has lost the right to education or happiness. I, as an individual, can only spend a certain amount on myself and if everyone thinks of giving the excess to help others, we can save many lives,” he says.

Meanwhile, sources say that the TV channel is renegotiating Salman’s contract with him to have him back on 10 Ka Dum. “I had a great stint but my contract has expired. If the channel wants me, I’m more than willing to do it again. I’m doing this now and Amitabh Bachchan is on that channel to host his show, developments will take some time to happen. But I’m very keen and hopeful,” he says.
