‘Important thing is to pay Mother Earth to live here,’ Salman Khan on launching e-cycles

Salman Khan recently added a new feather to his cap by launching e-cycles under his brand Being Human. He launched this new venture on World Environment Day in order to contribute towards better living. On this note, Salman also stated that it’s time to care for mother earth. The superstar said to a news agency, “We pay our taxes, we pay rent and the most important thing is to pay Mother Earth to live here.”

He described how close he is to nature and stated, “We come from farmlands, my parents and grandparents. My grandfather is from Jammu. All our meals coming back from school used to come from the fruit-bearing trees in Bandra (Mumbai). So, I have planted fruit-bearing trees in my building and on my farm. Nature is very important… We need to plant as many trees as possible.”

A good thought. We hope his efforts bring about some change.

Meanwhile, here’s a fond memory from Salman’s childhood when he learnt to cycle. In the interview, Salman quipped, “The first time my father got me a cycle on rent for 25 paise, he held the seat and I thought he was behind me, but he had left it… and I was cycling on my own. I was four or five years old.” (Also Read: Salman Khan on those indulging in road rage: If you want to race, do that on the racing tracks)
