Bajrangi Bhaijaan Effect: Now, Salman Khan offers help to bring back Indian girl from Pakistan
Mumbai, Aug 4: After External Affair Minister Sushma Swaraj, now Salman Khan promised to help Geeta to reunite her with her family members in India.
According to sources, the Bollywood actor asked director Kabir Khan to check how he can help Geeta. Ansar Burney, the social activist and former Pakistani minister, stated, "Salman Khan offers to help Geeta. Asks director Kabir Khan to find out how he can help Geeta meet her family."

Geeta, now 22-year-old, was nine-year-old when she crossed India-Pakistan border. Officials of Punjab Rangers handed Geeta over to a social welfare organisation, the Edhi Foundation, in Lahore. She later was moved to a home in Karachi.
Mr Burney earlier in 2012 had tried to locate whereabouts of Geeta's parents, but he failed. Now, after the success of Salman Khan-starrer blockbuster movie Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Mr Burney once again brought Geeta's story into everyone's notice.
