Salman Khan, who's on a dream run at the box office at present, has long been known to spread the goodwill and fortune around.
While he spearheaded the Being Human charity a while ago, the first flagship store was launched recently in Santa Cruz, a western Mumbai suburb.
The proceeds from the store, we are told, will go for charity.
Quite a few actors, more business savvy than their predecessors, have taken to branching out in other fields.
Here's looking at B-Town celebrities, who run successful enterprises.
