Actor Salman Khan has received another death threat. The message was sent to the WhatsApp number of Mumbai’s Worli Traffic Department, and the accused threatened to kill the Bollywood superstar by entering his home.
There was also a threat to blow up the actor’s car with a bomb. Worli Police have registered a case against the unidentified caller.
The actor, while promoting his recent film ‘Sikandar’, talked about how he felt about the constant death threat messages. “Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai” (It’s all up to God, Allah. What is written is written. That’s all),” he said.
Khan also acknowledged the challenges posed by the heightened security around him.
“Sometimes, having to move around with so many people becomes a problem,” he said at a press conference held under strict security and away from cameras. Referring to the security restrictions, he said, “Galaxy, shoot, shoot Galaxy. No detours.”
Shots Fired Outside Salman’s Home
The latest death threat message comes exactly a year after two men fired gunshots outside Khan’s Bandra house, Galaxy Apartments, on April 14. The two assailants, identified as Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, were later apprehended in Bhuj, Gujarat.
Khan has been receiving threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his network since 1998, after the blackbuck poaching incident allegedly took place during ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’ filming. During the film’s shoot, Khan and co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, and Neelam were accused of hunting a blackbuck, an animal considered sacred by the Bishnoi community.
