Mumbai: Salman Khan is extending his support beyond the world of cinema, joining hands with Global Sikhs for “Aashiyana”, a relief initiative aimed at helping families who lost their homes in the devastating Assam floods.
The project focuses on constructing semi-permanent bamboo shelters for flood-affected families who have been left without a roof over their heads. The initiative is being seen as a meaningful effort to provide immediate housing assistance while communities begin the long road to recovery.
Salman Khan lends support to Assam flood relief
Known for supporting various humanitarian causes, Salman Khan has now backed the Aashiyana initiative as it reaches families affected by the floods in Assam.
The project is particularly focused on those who have lost their houses and belongings completely. Instead of limiting relief to essential supplies, the initiative aims to give affected families something more fundamental — a place they can call home.
Aashiyana brings Bollywood and humanitarian work together
For the entertainment industry, Salman Khan's association with Aashiyana adds another dimension to the actor's public image, bringing celebrity support to an ongoing humanitarian effort.
The collaboration with Global Sikhs comes at a crucial time for Assam, where flood-hit communities continue to require assistance even as the focus gradually moves from emergency relief towards rehabilitation.
While the floodwaters may eventually recede, thousands of affected families still face the challenge of rebuilding their lives. Through Aashiyana, the focus is now being placed on one of their most immediate needs — a safe place to return to and rebuild from.
