Recently, Bollywood star Salman Khan was in Gurgaon to launch the Little Hearts Program by Fortis Memorial Research Institute, a charitable initiative jointly launched by his NGO Being Human and Fortis Foundation. The program will prove free treatment for children suffering from congenital heart diseases free of cost or at nominal charges. I hope a few steps made by us will help the ailing children. We want more and more such facilities to be made available in hospitals so that people can benefit from them, Salman said.
The actor also met Roona Begum the 19-month old girl from Agartala who was suffering from hydrocephalus, a medical condition that had caused her head to swell up due to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cavities of her brain. She had been admitted to Fortis after getting a lot media attention.
The actor spent most of his time talking to the ailing children and described his Being Human initiative as his heart and soul and hoped that children would benefit from the scheme.
Salman, who is currently filming Mental, his home production directed by brother Sohail Khan, refrained from talking about the film or other things on the professional front.
Let us talk only about the children today, he said.
Over the past year, Salman has been extensively promoting brand Being Human. He recently launched Being Human stores in Ludhiana and Chandigarh, which have a wide collection of merchandise. The sales are aimed at raising funds for charity.
