Bollywood icon Salman Khan is known for his compassionate behaviour towards his tribe, including his employees and members of his Being Human Foundation. Over the years, many have shared stories of Salman’s generosity and his support during their dire times.
Recently, a photo of Salman Khan’s bodyguard went viral on social media, showing him with his brand-new luxury car. In the image, Shera, who has been Salman’s bodyguard for over 20 years, is seen next to his new Range Rover Sport, the price of which starts at Rs 1.4 crore, as reported by DNA. He captioned the photo, “With the blessings of the almighty 🙏🏻 we welcome the new member in the house 🚙.”
Shera, whose real name is Gurmeet Singh, was born into a Sikh family in Andheri (Manish Nagar) in Mumbai. Before entering the Bollywood world and Salman’s life, he was passionate about bodybuilding, winning several contests, including Mr Mumbai and coming second in Mr Maharashtra.
Shera’s impressive physique led to a career in security in the early ’90s when Andre Timmins of Wizcraft invited him to protect Bollywood celebrities. He first met Salman in 1995 at a party for Hollywood star Keanu Reeves. Following a chaotic incident at a show in Chandigarh, where the crowd got out of control, Salman’s brother Sohail sought a more capable bodyguard, leading to Shera joining the team. While Salman is affectionately called “Bhai” by many, Shera refers to him as “Maalik.” “Maalik means master and Salman Maalik is everything to me. I will lay down my life for him. He is my god,” Shera told The Indian Express once.
