The 61-year-old actor had gone to Nagpur yesterday morning.

When Hema Malini returned home this morning, she found the cash and valuables stolen from her cupboard at her bungalow 'Gokuldham' in suburban Goregaon, Additional Police Commissioner, Ramrao Pawar told PTI.

According to police, the robbers entered the house by breaking the window and decamped with Rs 75 lakh cash and gold ornaments worth Rs 5 lakh, he added.

The woman, Phoolbanu Shaikh, also denied media reports published on December 11 last year that the actor had donated Rs one lakh to her after he felt that she needed the money.

Shaikh's lawyer Iqbal Solkar told a news agency that the Non Cognisable (NC) offence was registered in VP Road police station recently against the actor for using her physically challenged client's picture to promote his movie ‘Veer’.

According to Phoolbanu, when she wished to meet Salman, her sister and sister-in-law took her to the residence of the actor to fulfil her wish in March last year.

“But we were told that the actor would be available at Mehboob studio in Bandra shooting his film the next month. In April, we three went to meet Salman,” Phoolbanu recalled.

However, the security did not allow us to meet the actor, she said adding hearing a commotion, Salman stepped out of his van and met them.

“He chatted with us for some time and told us to take photographs with him. Since we were not carrying camera, a crew member at the shooting had clicked our pictures and we were told the photos would be delivered to us later,” she said.
