Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known for his generosity and kindness towards his fans. He recently proved it once again by meeting a young fan who had been fighting cancer for the past five years.
The fan, named Jaganbeer, had first met Salman Khan in 2019, when he was undergoing his third round of chemotherapy. The fan had expressed his wish to meet his idol through a social media campaign, which caught the attention of the actor. Salman Khan had visited Jaganbeer at the hospital and spent some time with him, cheering him up and making him smile.

During their 30-minute meeting, Salman made Jaganbeer a promise: they would meet again if he fought cancer like a champion. Five years later, both Salman and Jaganbeer kept their word.
Aryan, who is now 12 years old, has finally defeated the deadly disease after undergoing nine rounds of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries. He had been eagerly waiting to meet Salman Khan again.
Sukhbir Kaur, the young boy’s mother shared with the Indian Express how Salman’s team was in touch with them and even made arrangements for the reunion. He revealed, “The reunion was not just a happy occasion for me, but a testimony to my son’s struggles with cancer and visual impairment.”

According to the little one’s mother, the Improving Pediatric Cancer Care and Treatment (ImPaCCT) Foundation and NGO Anjeze Charitable Trust jointly reached out to the actor’s team and made a video. Although, the family was skeptical of the star coming to meet ‘common people’ like them, the actor pleasantly surprised them as he turned up to meet their son. Interestingly, Jaganbeer thought his parents were lying.
“He touched the actor’s face and shoulders, but was still unsure. Salman tried to convince him too, but he was still not convinced. Then, Jaganbeer touched the actor’s bracelet, something Salman always wears. He was so excited that he burst into laughter,” recalled the mother.
She went on to share with the news portal, “Jaganbeer had undergone chemotherapy the previous day. He was feeling weak and itchy all over. When Salman asked him about his wish, Jaganbeer, who was in pain and feeling restless, said he wished for the actor to scratch his back and shoulders. Looking at his condition, Salman told him to keep fighting and promised to meet him again if he obeyed him.”
Salman Khan‘s gesture has won the hearts of his fans and followers, who have applauded him for his kindness and humility.
