Mumbai – Salman Khan, often referred to as Bollywood’s Sultan and Dabangg Khan, has recently found himself at the center of a storm that revolves around one notorious name—Lawrence Bishnoi. Bishnoi, a gangster currently behind bars, and his gang have been issuing persistent threats to Salman’s life. These threats have intensified after the recent murder of Baba Siddique, a close friend and politician who shared a long-standing relationship with Salman. Now, the superstar has finally opened up about the dark clouds hovering over his life, addressing the matter publicly for the first time on the stage of Bigg Boss 18.
Salman Khan’s First Public Response to the Lawrence Bishnoi Controversy
Salman Khan’s long-anticipated response came during the weekend episode of Bigg Boss 18. Fans and media alike had been eagerly awaiting a statement from the actor, especially in light of the threats that have shaken his personal and professional life. The murder of Baba Siddique, for which the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, only escalated matters further. The gang even cited Baba’s close relationship with Salman as one of the reasons behind his killing. In the aftermath of these events, Salman’s security detail was significantly increased, and he continues to receive threats from various channels.
Speaking candidly on the matter for the first time, Salman said on Bigg Boss 18:
“I swear to God, what I’m going through in my life right now, only I know. And now, I have to deal with it. I wasn’t even supposed to be here today. But this is my commitment, and because of that, I’m standing here. This is my job, and that’s the main reason I’m here today.”
Salman’s words resonated deeply with his fans, giving them a glimpse into the turmoil he has been experiencing. His statement revealed the gravity of the situation and the immense pressure he is under. The segment of Bigg Boss 18 where Salman made this statement has since gone viral across social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter), where fans have shared the video extensively, expressing their concern for the actor’s safety.
The Lawrence Bishnoi Threats: A Grave Concern for Salman Khan’s Life
Salman Khan’s troubles began with threats issued by Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, who have been vocal about their intentions to harm the actor. Lawrence Bishnoi, a figure infamous for his criminal activities, has long harbored a vendetta against Salman. In fact, his name first became associated with the actor when he publicly declared that he would kill Salman Khan in connection with the blackbuck poaching case from the late 90s, in which Salman was accused.
Recently, the threats have escalated, and Bishnoi’s gang has continued to send alarming messages. In one chilling instance, Mumbai Police received a WhatsApp message demanding a sum of INR 5 crore in Salman Khan’s name. This latest threat has further raised concerns about the actor’s safety, leading his fans to worry even more about his well-being. Law enforcement agencies have since been on high alert, and Salman’s security has been beefed up to an unprecedented level, with his personal protection detail receiving a significant upgrade.
The Impact on Salman Khan’s Personal and Professional Life
Salman Khan’s life has undeniably been thrown into chaos because of these ongoing threats. The constant need for heightened security has not only disrupted his personal life but also impacted his professional commitments. Despite the threats, Salman remains committed to his work, as was evident from his appearance on Bigg Boss 18, where he continued to host the show despite the severe challenges he faces in his personal life.
His fans have rallied around him during this difficult time, expressing their support on social media and showing solidarity with the actor. However, the emotional toll that these threats have taken on Salman is clear from his recent statements. Salman’s candid admission on Bigg Boss 18 gave his fans a rare glimpse into the mental and emotional weight he is carrying due to these threats.
Upcoming Projects: What’s Next for Salman Khan?
Even amidst the controversies surrounding his personal life, Salman Khan has several exciting projects lined up, keeping his fans eagerly awaiting his next cinematic ventures. One of the most anticipated films on his upcoming roster is “Sikandar,” a film directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.
The filming for Sikandar has already begun, and the film is slated for release during the Eid holiday next year. Starring opposite Salman Khan is Rashmika Mandanna, one of the brightest young stars of Indian cinema today. Their on-screen pairing has already generated considerable buzz, and fans are excited to see them share the screen for the first time.
Beyond Sikandar, Salman Khan has other projects in the pipeline as well. Although the threats have overshadowed much of the conversation surrounding his career at present, the superstar is determined to continue his work in the industry. As he mentioned during Bigg Boss 18, his commitment to his fans and his professional obligations remains unshaken despite the troubling circumstances.
Increased Security Measures: How Salman Khan is Protecting Himself
Given the seriousness of the threats, Mumbai Police and Salman Khan’s personal security team have been working in tandem to ensure his safety. Over the past few months, Salman’s security detail has seen significant upgrades. He is now constantly accompanied by a convoy of armed security personnel, and his movements are meticulously planned to ensure his safety at all times.
Authorities are also conducting regular checks to ensure that all potential threats are neutralized. The police have been closely monitoring any suspicious activity around Salman’s residence and work locations. Special precautions are being taken for public appearances, and the number of bodyguards accompanying the actor has doubled in recent months.
Salman Khan’s fans, who affectionately refer to him as Bhai, have been vocal in their support of these measures, urging authorities to continue doing everything possible to protect the actor.
