Salman Khan to sell his paintings after years of ducking buyers; proceeds to go to his charity?

Over the last decade, Salman Khan, who loves to paint, has gifted a six-by-ten-feet handpainted wall portrait to sister Arpita Khan Sharma, a live-size portrait of two lovers to his Bajrangi Bhaijaan co-star Kareena Kapoor, a monochrome painting of a man to his Ready co-star Asin, among others, including one to close family friend Bina Kak and filmmaker friends, Kabir Khan and Mahesh Manjrekar.
Last year, a businessman-fan wanted to acquire Salman’s portrait of a mother and son locked in an embrace for Rs 20 lakh but the superstar thought it was too small a prize for a painting that was so dear to him. Later, when he was offered 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 agreed to sell some of his works, earnings from which will go to his charity.
A source close to him told 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.”

An interesting picture of Salman Khan painting a masterpiece is out and guess what? The actor has taken up a mixture of ink, charcoal, beetroot, coffee and froth for this latest creation! From what we see, Salman is trying to bind a beautiful relationship between two people in this distinctive painting. Maybe a mother-daughter bonding or maybe a father-son? Take a guess! With the coffee doing the talk in this one, it reminds us of the catchy phrase “A lot can happen over a coffee.” Indeed!
Salman Khan gifts a painting to Jacqueline Fernandez

Salman and Jacqueline
Fernandez found many ways to unwind while shooting in India and
Poland. They would hit the gym together, play badminton, go for bike rides and visit art galleries, museums and antique stores.
While in Poland, Salman painted a horse over two nights and gifted it to his leading lady. “I am crazy about horses. In fact, I plan to paint another one to gift her," says the superstar. Jackie, we hear, has found a place for the artwork in her living room.
The actress baked a chocolate cake, “which we didn't eat," says Salman. “It was so good that we wanted to preserve it. It is still somewhere around," adds Jacqueline.
That the two first-time co-stars have hit it off well is evident when Salman says, “It is cool working with her and I want to do another film with her very soon. We will plan as soon as she has the dates. We have known each other for a very long time...secretly."
