Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who was convicted in the 2002 hit and run case and imprisoned for 5 years for culpable homicide not amounting to murder today, is known for taking up humanitarian causes. Troubled by the 2002 case, the actor slowly and gradually took to charity. During this period, Salman, turned to philanthropy by forming ‘Being Human’, a non-governmental organisation (NGO). The NGO, supported by Salman Khan Foundation, has adopted villages in Maharashtra and outside the state. There is no lack of funds for the project as Salman Khan's star has been on the ascendant for quite some time having regularly generated Rs 100 crore hits like Dabangg, Kick and more, time and again. Here are some of the best hits and misses.

During the last decade while his trial in the case was on, Salman’s Bollywood career saw several highs and lows. After delivering big Bollywood hits for three years (after 2002) in a row —‘Tere Naam’ (2003), ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ (2004) and ‘No Entry’ (2005)– his career nosedived with mediocre films like ‘Jaan-E Mann’, ‘Saalam-E-Ishq’, ‘Marigold’ and ‘Baabul’ besides a string of flops. Only ‘Partner’ in 2007 (where he teamed with Govinda) was the saving grace for him during this low period. (Bollywood Hungama)

It was later remade in Tamil and Telugu. (Bollywood Hungama)
