The personal work Salman Khan went for to Dubai was not to keep current girlfriend Katrina Kaif company but his long overdue session of hair weaving that needed to be done following his hair transplant procedure last year!
Salman left for Dubai last week to start the second phase of the hair transplant procedure. Certain steps are taken before and after a the procedure to ensure maximum growth.
Once the first step is over, hair grows naturally and continues to thicken for six to nine months. Hair loss after that will probably occur in untreated areas and one can either use medication to retard the loss or schedule a hair weaving.
Salman underwent hair weaving in Dubai with an American surgeon. Khan returned to Mumbai yesterday, after spending some time under observation in Dubai.

Salman backs off from auctioning his painting
It is no longer a secret that actor Salman Khan has a talent for painting.
Salman gave one of his paintings for auction at a fundraising event, Right To Education’, organised by Plan India Initiative on Saturday at Grand Hyatt. The money from the auction was for the welfare of deprived children.
Bollywood director Karan Johar played the auctioneer at the event.
When Salman’s painting came up for auction, the highest bid for the piece of art was Rs 20 lakhs.
The amount perhaps did not meet Salman’s expectations. The actor walked on the stage and announced that he was pulling his painting out of the auction as the amount bid was too low.
Salman took the mike and said that some day when he would perhaps be a famous artist, then he would think of selling that painting. The audience laughed at Salman’s jest.
The event was a star-studded affair with celebrities like Anil Kapoor , Rishi Kapoor , Malaika Arora , Arbaaz Khan and their son Ahaan, Sri Devi, Boney Kapoor, Soha Ali Khan , Sangeeta Bijlani, Mohammad Azharuddin adding glamour to the evening.
Although Salman has had passion for painting since childhood, he started taking it seriously only recently. He has also learned some fine points of painting techniques from artist Nilesh Vede.

Salman Khan doesn't want to work with John Abraham!
Though Salman Khan is a man of golden heart, once he strikes someone’s name off his good books, there seems to be no rethinking for him.
It is no secret that Salman Khan and John Abraham do not get along well with each other. The reports of animosity between them cropped after they returned from the Rockstars concert last year. Then there were also rumours that the vibes between Salman and John were quite cold while working in Ravi Chopra’s movie Baabul . Even filmmaker Nikhil Advani made sure not to touch the sensitive issue and kept no scenes featuring Salman and John together in his movie Salaam-e-Ishq .
The so-called rivalry between the two stars has so far remained somewhat subdued and has not come out in the open yet. But Salman seems to be having second thoughts about doing Rituparno Ghosh’s remake of the 1962 classic ‘Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam’ for which Ghosh has finalized Salman, John and Priyanka Chopra .
In the remake, Salman is supposed to play an alcoholic zamindar who prefers the company of courtesans than his beautiful wife, to be played by Priyanka Chopra. John is supposed to play the role of the servant who gets to know the inner suffering of the zamindar’s wife and share her loneliness.
The fact that Ghosh will be directing this timeless classic makes it a precious project. But reports have it that Salman is reluctant to work with John in Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam .
The film’s producer Pritish Nandy is not willing to comment about any casting changes in the movie. However, he does assert that the movie will indeed be made.
Just a few weeks back, we had reported that Salman has opted out of Boney Kapoor’s movie Milenge Milenge because he did not want to work with its hero Shahid Kapur . Salman and Shahid, too, apparently had a spat during a concert.

Salman Khan invited to Abhishek-Ash wedding reception?
Rumour has it that Salman Khan has been invited to the wedding reception of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai .
While the Abhi-Ash wedding will strictly be a private affair (with relatives and close friends of the Bachchans and Rais), a large number of Bollywood celebrities are expected to attend the reception. And reports have it that Salman Khan, Aishwarya’s ex-flame, has also been invited.
According to the buzz, it was Amitabh Bachchan himself who called Salman’s father Salim Khan (who co-wrote scripts for many Bachchan films) and invited the entire Khan family to the reception.
Vivek Oberoi , another ex-boyfriend of Aishwarya, has reportedly not received invitation either from the Rais or the Bachchans.
It is also learnt that Salman Khan is planning to gift Abhishek a specially tailored Sherwani as the wedding gift.

Salman Khan bails out Boney Kapoor again
True stories about Salman Khan's largesse continue to pour in. Not only does he continue to do films free of fee for friends and filmmakers, he also forgets and forgives very easily.
Two years ago, Salman pulled Boney's doddering production house out of the red by agreeing to do an extended cameo in No Entry. Just when Boney couldn't stop thanking Salman for his generosity things soured between the two when Salman backed out of his verbal commitment to put in yet another extended guest appearance in Boney's Milenge Milenge.
But now Salman is all set to once again play saviour to Boney's production company. Salman plays the lead in Boney Kapoor's remake of the Tamil-Telugu blockbuster Pokhri.
Says a source close to both Boney and Salman, "Salman couldn't keep his promise of doing Milenge Milenge because of differences with the film's lead pair Shahid Kapoor and Kareena. But it bothered him that Boney had to suffer for no fault of his. At the first given opportunity he made amends with Boney by agreeing to play the lead in the remake of Pokhri." Apparently no money has been discussed.
Continues the source, "This isn’t the first occasion when Salman has stood by a project on humanitarian grounds. After Nikhil Advani left Karan Johar Salman was the only hero who supported Nikhil's Salaam-e-Ishq. The other big stars rolled into the film only after Salman agreed….It's as easy to win Salman's faith as lose it."
