Mumbai: Salman Khan showed off his compassionate side yet again, when he appeared on the show Mission Sapne to help an accident victim. Barber Qurbaan Ali lost both his legs in a rail-crossing accident in Mumbai. Unable to go back to earning his livelihood, surviving in the city became a nightmare for Qurbaan — until his idol, Salman Khan, stepped in. By stepping into Qurbaan’s life for just one day, Salman was able to raise sufficient funds to ease the barber’s situation.
“Fans go crazy to meet Salman bhai and here, my idol came to meet me!” said an emotional Qurbaan talking about his experience. “He gave champis and haircuts to so many people,” he added. The actor convinced Qurbaan to use the money he had raised for a purpose other than getting himself prosthetic limbs, and that the star would help him financially, in a personal
capacity.
But it wasn’t just all serious business: Fans got to see Salman’s mischievous side when he sprayed foam all over a man who wished to sport “the Ghajini look”! When a bald man came up to him, Salman styled his beard for him without batting an eyelash. Champis, hairstyles and shoulder massages — Sallu bhai did it all, and even shared the story behind his popular hairstyle from the movie Tere Naam .
Commenting on his day as a hairstylist, Salman Khan said, “I think it’s a great thing that through Mission Sapne, we were able to help a differently-abled man. The experience was entertaining, and it had a social message as well. I had fun spending a day doing just what Qurbaan does.”
