Salman finds a new passion; starts collecting murals, art work and frames

Salman Khan has a newfound passion antiques. The actor has started purchasing antique pieces. Especially murals and art works on glass and large picture frames.

A source reveals, "It was while reading a book on painting that he learnt the importance of choosing the right frame for a painting. A chapter in the book talked about antique frames, and how much difference it could make to the final product."



No fakes, please

The first antique he purchased was an old classic portrait frame. As he started looking for interesting frames, he developed an interest in other pieces as well. He keeps most of the stuff he collects at his Panvel farm house."

Salman has now also been reading up on how to make sure that the stuff he is buying is genuine and not fake. Most of the time he sends his friends to anitique shops, after selecting stuff from catalogues and off the net. He prefers not to go personally.
