Whatever he touches turns into gold. Be it his films, or a paint brush! The multi-faceted person that Salman Khan is, it is no doubt that even his paintings are as unique as him. From abstract to modern strokes, his favourite pastime is mixing colours on a palette. The actor has a huge collection of paintings locked up at his Panvel bungalow. Whatever he draws, turns eyeballs. Such is the craze, that his paintings are sold for lakhs and crores. And all the amount that comes from the auctions straightaway goes into the funds of his NGO "Being Human".
Trivia: During an auction, one of Salman's most favourite paintings depicting the love between a mother and a son was fetching just 20 lakhs. So, he decided to withdraw that painting from the sale. Later on, the same painting was sold for a whooping 2.5 crore!
Without further ado, let's take a look at some of his most famous and loved creations.
1. His most common form is sketching faces with tranquil and thoughtful expressions. This one is of Gautam Buddha.
2. And this one too...
3. He often paints religious themes backed by his own belief in 'oneness of Gods.'
See how many Gods can you trace in this painting. Hint: All three are from different faiths.
