Salman Khan's
Message

Dear Friend

Being Human is an initiative that's very close to my heart.

 The Foundation works towards saving lives through healthcare

 initiatives and shaping lives through education initiatives.

 In both areas, there is a lot to be done and that's why I set

 up initiatives such as Being Human Art and Being Human

 merchandise.

 This helps the Foundation raise its reach and corpus. Our approach

 has been to try and create merchandise that you can use in

 everyday  life and thereby do good in the course of living your

 daily life. For example, when you buy a

 Being Human T-shirt or a Being Human

 watch, you do good just by the act of slipping on the T-shirt or

 strapping on the watch.

 However, an overwhelming number of people call me and write

 to meor send word that they wish to make a financial contribution.

 So we are setting up a payment gateway on this site.

 Meanwhile, there are a couple of tie-ups we will announce shortly

 which will make it easy for you to give to Being Human. 

 Please note that all official channels for contributing to Being

 Human will be listed on this site and be very cautious if someone 

 of that list approaches you for money claiming they are from the

 Foundation. Contributions are eligible for income tax exemption

 under section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act. 

When the task is vast, no contribution is too small.

 Thank you for your contribution to Being Human: 

The Salman Khan Foundation. You will receive an 

80G certificate for your contribution.

We at Being Human will always value your support.

-Yours

HAPPY BIRTHDAY No.1 Khan 2012

Today is Aamir Khan’s birthday but by the looks of it, this is one of his busiest birthdays. He is shooting for shooting for Reema Kagti's suspense thriller, building body for Aditya Chopra's Dhoom-3 and getting ready with the marketing and promotion of Delhi Belly. Here is the interview with Aamir Khan where he talks about what he is doing now and his future plans

So who is it with you in Dhoom-3? Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone?
Dhoom-3 will roll in January 2012. I'm only building my physique for it from now on. And why are you assuming that I'm involved in the casting. Aditya Chopra and Vijay Acharya Krishna (Victor) will select the heroine. I have no say in the matter.

In an Aamir film, Aamir normally has all the say...
Yaar nahin, I'm only an actor on set. I'm an obsessive actor but nothing more. Right now, I'm totally preoccupied with Reema's film. It is a genre that neither I nor anyone else has dabbled in for a long time. It's also got a strong emotional core.

And, it has no title?
Yeah, if someone gives me a title for Reema's film, it will be the best birthday gift I receive today.

Heard you are learning to swim?
Yes, in fact I've enrolled for swimming lessons with Mickey Mehta. I have to swim in Reema's film. Actually I'm very excited about this one. After 3-Idiots this is my next film. I was in Dhobi Ghaat, but it was more Kiran's movie.

You also have conversations only in Marathi?
With my staff I only speak in Marathi. My teacher Suhas Limaye says that it is the best way to polish my language. I have poor language skills; I'm a little slow but I am thoroughly enjoying speaking the language.

What's this cooking thing you are getting into?
Cooking is also something I want to learn. Honestly, I haven't started.

One hears Kiran and you have moved into your mother's house?
Yes, Kiran and I are now sleeping in the bedroom where I spent my childhood. My mother has come to live in my building; Kiran and I have moved upstairs to her home. Our things are still in our home downstairs but we sleep and wake up in mom's house. After pack up, I go straight to mom's house and I am with her till bedtime.

What according to you is your biggest achievement in the year gone by?
I have given the industry two women directors-Anusha Rizvi (Peepli Live) and Kiran Rao (Dhobi Ghat). I've supported talent that I believe in and I have also shown that art house movies which earlier collected two-three crores can collect as much as 15 crore-plus.

Is Delhi Belly also art-house?
No. It is a kameena commercial film.

Are Shah Rukh, Salman and you still the front-runners?
I don't know about being number 1 or 2; I'm excited about my success. My fans are happy to see everything that I put out there in the market. That's immensely gratifying.

Do you feel any different at 46 than you felt at 40?
Frankly, age is just a number. Physically, no one can counter age; to me it has never mattered. Goals can be achieved even when you are 90. The audience doesn't ask an actor's age when it comes to seeing his film.
