'Security is better than insecurity': Salman Khan on receiving death threats

| @indiablooms | Apr 30, 2023, at 05:30 pm

Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who has been receiving death threats and is on the target list of gangsters, has opened up about his experience and how he is dealing with it.

The 'Tiger Zinda Hai' actor has been provided with Y+ category security by the Mumbai Police amid the death threat.

Sharing the experience at India TV's show 'Aap ki Adalat', Saman said: "Security is better than insecurity. Yes security is there. Now it is not possible to ride a bicycle on the road and go alone anywhere. And more than that, now I have this problem that when I am in traffic, then there is so much security, vehicles creating inconvenience to other people. They also give me a look. And my poor fans. There is a serious threat that's why there is security."

"I am doing whatever I have been told. There is a dialogue 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' 'they have to be lucky 100 times, I have to be lucky once'. So, I got to be very careful," the superstar added.

Salman continued, "I am going everywhere with full security. I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (points towards god) that he is there. It is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras around me, so many guns are going around with me that I am myself scared these days."

Following the death threat, a few days ago, a minor was arrested by Mumbai Police for allegedly threatening to kill Salman during a phone call.

Mumbai Police said that a threat call was made to the Mumbai Police control room on April 10.

The caller, who identified himself as Rockey Bhai from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, said he was a Gau Rakshak (cow-vigilante) and threatened to "eliminate" Salman Khan on April 30.
