Badshah, Salman Khan and Raveena Tandon
Not one to shy away from putting the needs of his contemporaries before his, Salman Khan gave fans yet another glimpse of his generosity in the recently concluded episode of Dus Ka Dum. Set to play the poll-based game show with guests Badshah and Raveena Tandon for an episode that will air this weekend, Khan urged the rapper to donate his winning amount to Tandon's charity instead of his Being Human foundation.
Tandon tells mid-day that while she arrived on the show to play for her NGO Rudra, her competitor Badshah was pitching for Khan's charity. "However, Salman told Badshah that Being Human is already getting abundant funds, and so, he could help my organisation instead," she says, adding that the amount earned by her and the rapper, Rs 5.80 and Rs 5.60, respectively, was eventually donated to her charity. "Being Human is now established, and everyone knows about it. I will obviously never be able to [acquire] the kind of help and connections that Salman has. It was kind of him to do what he did."
Tandon - who also diligently propagates the cause of animal welfare - says she hopes to help the less privileged with Rudra. "While I had been helping those in need in the past, I would have to approach random people to collect money. I realised that ensuring transparency by making transactions legal would be ideal since we'd have an organised channel in place then," says the actor, adding that she aims to lend a helping hand to "widows and children of our soldiers who have been martyred" via the NGO.
