Bollywood megastar Salman Khan is taking no risks regarding his safety following threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The actor's security measures have been significantly upgraded to ensure his protection.

Increased Security at Galaxy Apartments

On Tuesday, Salman Khan's residence, Galaxy Apartments, located in the affluent Bandstand area of Mumbai, saw the addition of bullet-proof glass installed in the balcony. This balcony holds special significance as it is where Salman often greets his fans.

The security enhancements come shortly after the actor celebrated his birthday. Alongside the bullet-proof glass, advanced CCTV cameras and a modern surveillance system have been set up to monitor the surroundings in light of the heightened security threat.

Salman's Residence Details

Media reports reveal that Salman resides in a 1 BHK flat on the ground floor of Galaxy Apartments, while his parents live on the first floor of the same building. Despite his superstar status, Salman Khan has retained a humble and grounded lifestyle in this iconic residence.

History of Threats

The increased security measures stem from a series of threats and violent incidents:

April 2024: Two unidentified men on a bike fired shots at Salman's residence. The attack, fortunately, resulted in no casualties, but the actor believes it was orchestrated by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who allegedly aimed to harm Salman and his family.
Salman's father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, was also reportedly threatened by members of Bishnoi's gang.
Adding to the concern, earlier this year in October, Salman's close friend Baba Siddique was assassinated near his office in Bandra, allegedly by the Bishnoi gang.

Impact on Salman's Public Life

In the wake of these threats and the tragic loss of Baba Siddique, Salman Khan has been maintaining a low profile. The actor has reduced his public appearances and is taking all necessary precautions to ensure his safety.

The Legacy of Baba Siddique

Baba Siddique, a prominent figure in Mumbai's social and political circles, was not only close to Salman but also deeply connected to the Hindi film industry. Known for his grand Iftaar parties, Siddique played a pivotal role in fostering Bollywood camaraderie.

One of the most memorable moments at a Baba Siddique Iftaar party came in 2013 when Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan ended their five-year-long feud, reuniting two of Bollywood's biggest stars and their respective camps.

Salman Khan's Upcoming Projects

On the professional front, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next big-screen appearance in the action-drama 'Sikandar', marking his return after more than a year. His last film, 'Tiger 3', was a box-office success.

'Sikandar', directed by acclaimed filmmaker A.R. Murugadoss, best known for 'Ghajini', also stars Rashmika Mandanna opposite Salman. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, further strengthening the collaboration between the superstar and the renowned producer.

Bollywood's Resilience Amid Challenges

Despite personal and professional challenges, Salman Khan's unwavering spirit continues to inspire his fans. With Sikandar on the horizon and robust security measures in place, Salman is set to focus on delivering another blockbuster while ensuring his and his family's safety.
