October 18, 2024: Mumbai, India – Undeterred by fresh threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi Bollywood Bigg Boss 18 Host Salman Khan has returned to his duties for the popular reality show. The actor’s commitment to his work remains steadfast, with heightened security measures now in place to ensure his safety.
Salman was spotted filming an episode late Thursday night, arriving at the set with an extensive security detail. Sources indicate that he opted to stay in a secure chalet on the premises prior to his scheduled appearance on Friday, prioritizing his safety amidst the ongoing threats.
Despite the alarming circumstances, Salman’s filming schedule will continue without interruption. His team is coordinating closely with production and network officials to facilitate safe movements throughout the shooting process.
To bolster security, over 60 personnel have been deployed around the set, with access to the compound now restricted. Guards have been instructed to verify identification through Aadhar cards before granting entry, a move aimed at enhancing safety protocols.
The crew of Bigg Boss 18 has been advised to remain on-site until the completion of each shoot. Salman typically hosts the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, drawing significant viewer engagement.
Don’t take it lightly Bigg Boss 18 Host Salman Khan Warned
Earlier, a threatening message surfaced on a WhatsApp number associated with the Mumbai Traffic Police, demanding ₹5 crore from Salman. The message reportedly warned, “Don’t take it lightly; if Salman Khan wants to stay alive and resolve the conflict with Lawrence Bishnoi, he will need to pay ₹5 crore. Failure to comply will result in dire consequences.”
Mumbai Police have initiated an investigation into the serious threats, which come in the wake of the recent assassination of Baba Siddique, a local politician allegedly targeted by gang members associated with Bishnoi. Siddique was shot in Mumbai’s Nirmal Nagar area and later succumbed to his injuries, raising concerns about gang violence in the region.
Salman Khan reportedly finds himself on Bishnoi’s “hit list,” alongside various comedians, politicians, and rival gang figures, highlighting the growing threat posed by organized crime in Mumbai.
As Salman continues his work, fans and industry colleagues are rallying behind him, emphasizing the importance of both personal safety and professional dedication in challenging times.
