“We have no income to sustain. But Salman had given us a hope. He promised a job for me. In fact I worked for couple of days with his shooting crew. He had promised to take me to Mumbai for job,” said Ahmad, adding, he feels like he has become orphaned again. The family had heard about the philanthropic work of Salman but they could never get a chance to meet the Bollywood superstar until last month. Zainab along with her two granddaughters went to meet him at his hotel during the shooting of Bajrangi Bhaijaan in Pahalgam. She stopped Salman’s vehicle prompting the actor to alight and meet the widow.
