It is pertinent to note that Salman Khan runs a charitable trust 'Being Human' to help those in need of financial and other assistance . Mawra Hocane, who is a Pakistani actress and model, had made her Bollywood debut with movie 'Sanam Teri Kasam'. On Thursday Pakistan's foreign minister Khawaja M Asif also triggered controversy on the matter by making communal allegations. He said "Salman Khan was subjected to discrimination because he comes from the minority community," in Geo News's programme Capital Talk. "Had he (Salman) belonged to the religion of the ruling party of India he would not have been given such a harsh sentence and the court might have been lenient with him," Geo News quoted Asif as saying. Salman was on Thursday found guilty of killing the blackbucks, from the antelope family, in Kankani village near Jodhpur on the night of October 1, 1998 during the shooting of the film "Hum Saath Saath Hain".
