Back in 2008, Jackie Shroff was engulfed in his financial woes so much so, that he had to borrow money from filmmaker Sajid Nadidadwala and wasn't able to pay him back. According to reports, Salman Khan had intervened and saved the situation for Jackie. In fact, it's also said that back then Jackie had to sell his properties and flats to repay Nadiadwala. Thankfully, all is well now, and even his son Tiger Shroff is a full-time Bollywood actor now.

2. Preity Zinta

Ever since Preity's ambitious project, Ishkq In Paris, tanked at the box office, she has been battling with a financial crunch. In fact, it was also in the news that many technicians and crew who had worked on the film had not been paid their dues. She had even confessed that Salman Khan had helped her out with her financial crisis. All seems well now, as she's often spotted chilling with her B-Town buddies.

3. Mike Tyson

All was well in Govinda's life until his Bollywood career began going downhill and he eventually went bankrupt. He had even admitted a while back that it was Salman Khan who actually helped him during his tough times. It was only when the two got together for the film Partner that Govinda's Bollywood career got on track again.

8. Stan Lee

Who would believe that the creator of Marvel superheroes like Spiderman, Hulk, and X-Men was bankrupt at one point of time and had filed for bankruptcy in 2001. This was mainly due to his web series venture, which didn't work well. Thankfully now, he's back on track and his Marvel comics are huge!
