In March this year, Salman Khan made headlines after his office received a threatening letter, which Goldy Brar, an associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster, allegedly sent. The threatening email was directed at Salman’s personal assistant, Jordy Patel, and came shortly after Lawrence Bishnoi publicly stated his desire to “kill Salman Khan.” Post that, the Mumbai police increased the security outside Khan’s home. In the latest episode of Rajat Sharma’s popular talk show, Aap Ki Adalat, Salman spoke about the matter.
When the host asked about his beefed-up security, the Bollywood star asserted, “Yes, there is security. I can no longer walk on the street alone, go cycling… But I do have a problem with this (amped-up security). When we are in traffic, there is so much security, and vehicles, which causes inconvenience to other people, who give me a look, saying, ‘Achcha, you have now become a star.’ There are some threats, which is why the security is there. I am doing whatever I have been asked to do. I have got to be very careful… I go everywhere with full security.”
Adding further, the 57-year-old actor said, “Jo hone waala hai woh ho ke rahega, aap kuch bhi koshish kar lo. I believe that he (God) is there, so that’s it. Of course, it doesn’t mean that just because God is there, I will start behaving carelessly. I have many Sheras now (referring to his loyal bodyguard, Shera). There are so many guns (gunmen) that walk with me that khud darr lagta hai aaj kal.”
The Bharat actor continued, “They walk with guns pointed at all directors. I do get looks from people though. Like when you see a minister in his laal batti with a siren, I get the same look. So I have told them that I don’t want any sound of siren, that they should drive at a very slow pace.”
During the interview, Rajat Sharma suggested that the threats may have stemmed from the Blackbuck case. To this, Salman Khan chuckled and replied, “I genuinely have no idea about that, sir. I really don’t. Our legal system is competent, and they will make the necessary judgement. Whatever their verdict, we will accept it.”
Coming to the professional front, Salman recently gave a treat on Eid to his fans with his film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Directed by Farhad Samji, it also features Pooja Hegde as the leading lady. Salman has a bunch of projects in his kitty, including Tiger 3, Tiger Vs Pathaan and an unannounced film with Karan Johar.
