Whether bringing health awareness among the youths or doing charity, Salman has made his place as an idol in India and abroad.
His star power is unavoidable; which is one of the reasons for his success at this age (45 years) too.
However not just common man, Sallu also inspires many in Bollywood.
The latest example is, 'Fashion' Fame lad Arjan Bajwa, who was bowled over by Salman Khan's kind gesture of blood donation recently, where the 'Dabangg' star pulled Aamir Khan as well to serve humanity.
On his birthday on Sept 3, Arjan started off his day by donating blood at a hospital in Mumbai, following the footsteps of Salman.
Though Arjan was scheduled to shoot for Hema Malini's directorial venture– "Tell Me Oh Khuda", but he had sought permission from Hema ji to reach on the sets a couple of hours late as he wanted to make his birthday special this year.
"I attend my friend's birthday parties which are very common but doing something for others is what I had always thought of and what better than donating blood?
And when I saw Salman Bhai doing it for humanity, it gave me a boost and motivated me to start my birthday in a useful fashion. Also my mother is in town so her presence will double up the joy of birthday for me", says a motivated Arjan.
"Also I had met Salman Bhai recently at IIFA this year and I am a big fan of him like many others in our film fraternity. He is a true icon, " adds Arjan.
