Time of India22-04-2025
A video of Salman Khan's Man Friday, Shera, making an appearance in the 2011 blockbuster 'Bodyguard' has gone viral on the subreddit BollyBlindsGossip. The clip was shared by a Reddit user along with the caption, 'Just watched it now on Insta and find it cute!'
The video opens with a tantalising performance from Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger' co-star Katrina Kaif. Shera is seen in a jovial mood beside the poker-faced Khan (who played the role of a rough and tough bodyguard named Lovely Singh) in the video.

The clip has gone viral on the subreddit, gaining more than 2.8K likes. 'This was a heavily promoted bit and was used massively for creating buzz pre-release. And regarding Kitto, she pretty much overshadowed Kareena's pre-release buzz for the film. By this small appearance. Kitto was all media was talking about. A similar thing happened in Agneepath. I felt honrah tha ki kitto heroine hai movie ki. Like, say, 'Agneepath heroine'—the first name that comes in mind this day is Kitto…' Read one comment.

Who Exactly Is Shera?
Born Gurmeet Singh Jolly on May 19, 1969, Shera is more than just Salman Khan's loyal protector—he's a figure deeply embedded in the
Bollywood security
ecosystem. A former competitive bodybuilder, Shera clinched the Mumbai Junior Bodybuilding title in 1987 and came second in the Mr. Maharashtra Junior contest in 1988.
From Bodybuilding to Bollywood
Shera transitioned into the security field in the early 1990s, joining the team at Wizcraft International. His job involved safeguarding Bollywood celebrities at various high-profile events. In 1995, he first crossed paths with Salman Khan during a party for Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves. Following a chaotic incident during a show in Chandigarh, Sohail Khan—Salman's younger brother—recruited Shera to serve as Salman's permanent bodyguard. Since then, he has remained by Salman's side, accompanying him on worldwide tours and managing his security at all times.
Beyond the Security Detail
Shera isn't just confined to the shadows anymore. In 2017, he was entrusted with handling the security for global pop sensation Justin Bieber during his India tour. Moreover, in October 2019, Shera took a plunge into the political arena by joining the Shiv Sena, one of Maharashtra's major political parties. Despite his evolving public profile, his unwavering loyalty to Salman Khan has remained a constant.
A Life of Luxury and Loyalty
In 2024, Shera made headlines again, not for his security duties or celebrity connections, but for splurging on a brand-new Range Rover Sport, priced at a jaw-dropping ₹1.4 crore. Though now an established personality in his own right, Shera continues to stand as a pillar of protection and loyalty in Salman Khan's life.

Warriors! KL Rahul's powerful post for two gutsy players goes viral

KL Rahul (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: India's stylish opener KL Rahul shared a heartwarming tribute on Instagram for close friend Rishabh Pant and England's veteran pacer Chris Woakes , applauding both for redefining the standards of the game through their remarkable commitment and willingness to battle through pain for their countries. Rahul posted a collage featuring Pant and Woakes bravely stepping up to bat in critical moments and captioned it: "Warriors. Defining courage and love for this sport." India vs England Day 5: Can India do the UNTHINKABLE at The Oval? Four wickets and 2-2! Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pant, India's vice-captain, shrugged off a finger injury concern from the third Test and walked in to bat under overcast skies in Manchester during the fourth Test. In the 68th over on Day 1, he attempted a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and took a painful blow to the foot. His foot swelled instantly, and blood was visible as he removed his boot. Clearly in agony, Pant retired hurt on 37 off 54 balls and had to leave the field on a golf buggy. But on Day 2, with India struggling at 314/6, Pant stunned everyone. With a heavily bandaged foot, the southpaw returned to bat, drawing a loud ovation from the Old Trafford crowd. He kissed the ground, soaked in the atmosphere, and soon began entertaining with his trademark flair. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

He injured his left shoulder on Day 1 while diving to stop a boundary. Three days later, with England just 17 runs away from chasing down 374 and down to their last wicket, Woakes emerged from the dressing room with his left arm in a sling, tucked under his jumper, to join Gus Atkinson at the crease. Though he didn't face a ball, Woakes ran between the wickets in visible pain, grimacing with each effort. His brave stand ended when Mohammed Siraj bowled Atkinson, sealing India's dramatic six-run win. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

'Malegaon Files' film announced based on 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, Rajiv S Ruia to direct

'Malegaon Files' film announced based on 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, Rajiv S Ruia to direct A film based on the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case has been announced and has been titled 'Malegaon Files'. 'My Friend Ganesha' fame director Rajiv S Ruia will be directing the film, which is currently in the pre-production stage. The cast and crew of the movie have not been revealed yet by the makers. The film will be produced by Sahil Seth under the banner of Cinedust 18 Films Pvt. Ltd. According to a press note shared by the makers, the film aims to present a gripping and sensitive portrayal of the 2008 Malegaon bomb blasts, which shook the nation and led to a long, complicated legal battle. "This is not just a story about a blast -- it's about what followed. The human stories, the political shadow, the search for truth, and the emotional and legal turmoil faced by the accused and the victims' families. 'Malegaon Files' is our attempt to bring that reality to the screen," director Rajiv S Ruia, said about the film in the press note. Ruia told that the film is currently in the pre-production stage and will be shot on real locations. "Our writer team is in talks. It is a very sensitive subject. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Health: the best shoes to walk and stand all day Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo Every detail behind it needs to be brought out. Research is going on...99 per cent we will shoot on real locations. We will do recce soon," he said. According to the press note, the makers stated that the script is being developed with inputs from investigative reports, court documents, and real testimonies to ensure that the narrative remains grounded and respectful. The film is slated to go on floors by late 2025, with more details about the cast and shooting schedule expected to be revealed soon. The Malegaon blast tragedy took place on September 29, 2008 in which six people were killed and 95 others injured when an explosive device strapped to a motorcycle detonated near a mosque in Malegaon City's Bhikku Chowk. Originally, 11 people were accused in the case; however, the court ultimately framed charges against 7, including former MP Sadhvi Pragya. The Mumbai NIA court on July 31 acquitted all seven accused of being involved in the 2008 blasts in Malegaon, with the court saying the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt. The 2008 Malegaon blast case was transferred to the NIA in 2011 from the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). After a 17-year-long wait and examination of hundreds of witnesses, the NIA special court acquitted all seven people accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Arms Act and all other charges.
