Salman Khan,share income with Bollywood workers

 

Bollywood star Salman Khan, also known as the Hindi film industry’s enfant terrible, says he wants to help workers in filmdom by sharing his income and also work for the underprivileged in society.

“Right now, I want to give a percentage of my earnings from the film that I will start to workers of the film industry,” Salman told IANS, adding the amount is not fixed yet. “It can be half of the remuneration; it can be one percent.”

“Even if everyone gives half a percent (of their remuneration), it will be huge money.

“The government takes 30 percent from (the industry) plus the entertainment tax. Where does it (money) go, I don’t know. I know that the money, whatever small percentage we give, should go to the workers in the film industry,” said the actor who gave two back-to-back hits with “Wanted” and “Dabangg”.

I have had opportunities, I had been blessed with opportunities to work with the best in the business and I have learnt a lot from them. I feel there is a nice future and with the experience, I can hope I make good cinema,” Arjun told IANS in an interview.
