Bollywood superstar Salman Khan made a high-profile return to Mumbai early Sunday morning following his attendance at a sporting event launch in Dubai. The actor’s arrival was nothing short of a spectacle, drawing the attention of fans and media alike as he exited the airport surrounded by a phalanx of armed security guards and police personnel.
Dressed in casual attire, Salman appeared with a stern expression on his face, walking through the airport flanked by guards on all sides. His longtime bodyguard, Shera, was also spotted beside him.
ETimes paparazzi captured exclusive photos of Salman’s security detail maintaining a barrier between the actor and the awaiting fans and media as he made his way to a bulletproof vehicle. Despite the heightened security and potential threats to his safety, Salman maintained a cool and calm demeanor, catching the attention of onlookers.
In a bold move, Salman took the front passenger seat of the vehicle, while his security guards occupied the backseats. His vehicle was observed following a police car loaded with armed guards. Videos of the scene quickly went viral online, with fans affectionately dubbing him ‘Dabangg Khan’.
This enhanced security comes in the aftermath of a recent shooting incident outside Salman’s residence on April 14, where unidentified individuals fired four rounds at his building in the early hours. Responding to the incident, Salman’s father, Salim Khan, dismissed it as a ‘publicity stunt’ and confirmed that Salman would continue with his work commitments without interruption, despite potential risks to his safety.
Currently, Salman is gearing up to start shooting for his upcoming film ‘Sikandar’, directed by AR Murugadoss. Despite the security concerns, the actor remains steadfast in fulfilling his professional obligations, ensuring that his film projects proceed as planned.
The incident has also prompted an increase in security measures for other Bollywood celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, who recently returned to Mumbai from Kolkata with heightened security in light of Salman’s firing incident.
Salman Khan’s return to Mumbai with a robust security detail has reignited discussions about celebrity safety and the challenges faced by Bollywood stars in the public eye.
