Now that’s what you call a true fan! Salman Khan has a die-hard Pakistani fan. According to an Indian newspaper, Aly Malik celebrated Sallu Mian’s 51st birthday on Dec 27 by buying a (Dubai) car number plate bearing the Dabangg Khan’s birth date 27/12 for approximately two hundred thousand rupees.

Aly M intends to gift the number plate to his hero. The gesture doesn’t stop there. The fan wants the Bollywood big gun to sell the plate to someone else so that he can raise more money for his charities Being Human and Dubai Cares.

Wow! Salman K certainly has much on his plate this year.
