After the murder of Maharashtra's political leader, Baba Siddique on October 12, the spotlight is back on superstar Salman Khan and his security. The Indian actor has been facing constant threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi due to his alleged involvement in the 1998 Blackbuck case.
Salman’s younger brother, Arbaaz Khan in an interview shared how the family was devastated by Siddique’s murder, and that it is their fans' love and faith that has been helping friends and family face the hard times with grace.
Arbaaz Khan while sharing his first reaction to the tragedy, revealed his family’s close relationship with the politician. He expressed that the incident has deeply affected everyone and described the loss as unfortunate.
“Baba Siddhique was a very, very close family friend and very loved person and unke saath aap dekho eid ke time poori industry jama hoti thi toh unke jaane ka bohot afsoos ho raha” (You could see how everyone from the showbiz gathered during his eid parties, and I regret the passing of such a loved person.), he said.
He added that he has prayers for Baba Siddique’s family and everyone, including his family and industry people, have been affected by the loss.
Khan said, “It’s very unfortunate, but I guess we are all kind of trying to recover from this thing, so just prayers, that’s it.”
For those unfamiliar, Salman Khan, who shared a close bond with Siddique, was one of the first people to visit Baba Siddique in the hospital after his demise.
The Bollywood superstar’s family also visited Siddique’s home to pay their last respects.
