Salman Khan to free Jail Inmates

Dabangg Bodyguard Salman Khan is ready to pay the fine on behalf of about 400 inmates who are languishing in jail despite completing their term.

Salman's charitable organisation Being Human has written to jail authorities offering to help inmates, who have served their sentence but are still locked up because they cannot pay their fine due to poverty or some other reason.

Jail authorities have sent the letter to the legal section. Following their clearance a no objection certificate will be sought from the administration.

With their permission, the 'Bodyguard' star's foundation will submit about Rs 40 lakhs thereby freeing approximately 400 inmates from jails in the state.

"In about 63 jails in UP there are 400 such inmates who have completed their jail term but are still inside because they cannot pay fine due to financial problems," Vijay Kumar Gupta, IG Jail (UP), told PTI Bhasha.

When a convict is sentenced for a crime he is asked to pay a certain fine along with the jail term. If he is unable to pay the fine the prisoner may have to serve an additional term.

Salman himself has been involved in a few legal troubles. In 2002, the 46-year-old actor was arrested for rash and negligent driving after his car ran into a Mumbai bakery. Charges of culpable homicide were laid against him, but later dropped and he was found not guilty.

In 2006, Salman was sentenced to one year in prison for hunting a Chinkara but was granted bail after spending three days in prison. Check your EPF Balance online!

Kate Moss favourite pastime

‘I’m most relaxed when I’m cooking in the countryside’: Kate Moss reveals her favourite pastime as she stars in new Mango campaign

Kate Moss stars in the new Mango campaign (jacket, 44.99, dress, 22.99, belt, 17.99)

She’s one of the most successful supermodels in the world.

But in between flying around the world for red carpet events and starring in high-end campaigns, Kate Moss has revealed she is most relaxed when she is cooking at her Cotswolds home.

The star revealed her favourite pastime during an interview to promote her current role as the face of Mango.

When asked how she likes to unwind, the Croydon-born star said:’I relax in the countriside, with all the kids around, that’s when I’m most relaxed.

‘It’s big meals and there’s usually a lot of people around.’

The newlywed mother-of-one, who turned 38 last week, is the only star of the High Street chain’s campaign – a fact not even she was aware of.

She said: ‘I didn’t even know they were doing that. I haven’t seen (the ad) yet.’

The ad, shot by Terry Richardson, is the second Kate has signed on for and is entittled ‘Spy Game’.

It sees the model trying on a veriety of outfits by the Spanish brand while a camera appears to be spying on her through the window.

Kate revealed she gets along very well with Richard and was happy to collaborate with him again.

She said: ‘There is always an undercurrent of sinister something going on with Terry, an edge to it and that’s what makes it fun.

‘Unless you get that, it would be really frustrating for him, but I do.’

The model also stars in a commercial for the campaign, shot by Terry Richardson

The retailer has chosen the British model for its campaign image because she embodies ‘the type of urban, independent and confident woman’.

Kate took over from Isabeli Fontana, the face of Autumn Winter 2011.

In the past, Scarlett Johansson, Penlope Cruz, Milla Jovovich, Lizzy Jagger, Karolina Kurkova, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Ins Sastre, Claudia Schiffer,Christy Turlington and Diane Kruger have all starred in campaigns.

The collection has a clear 60’s influence, particularly in the dresses.

Lightweight, pleated and gathered fabrics offer movement and present a fresh, flirty and feminine touch.

The store is also introducing a more casual line, bringing together ethnic elements and blending them with  sportswear details to give a simple, strong urban look.
