On Sunday evening, a particular fake tweet by comedian Jaaved Jaaferi was taken at face value by many. The tweet claimed that Salman Khan had donated Rs 12 Cr for Kerala. "This man is something else. Kitnon ki duaein leke chal rahi hain isey. God Bless you bro. Love and #Respect,” Jaaved said, hailing the Bollywood superstar.

When many asked him if it's authentic, Jaaved verified the fake news and deleted the tweet. He then wrote, "I had tweeted that I had ‘heard’ about @BeingSalmanKhan‘s contribution. Because it was a very strong possibility given his track record, I put forward my thoughts and admiration. Taking the tweet off till I can confirm it".

So far, there is no substantiated report which has said that Salman had contributed the huge amount. Twelve crores is something only big industrialists are known to give away in charity. It's a huge amount that an actor can't be believed to donate.

I had tweeted that I had ‘heard’ about @BeingSalmanKhan ‘s bcontribution. Because it was a very strong possibility given his track record, I put forward my thoughts and admiration.
