Salman Khan Reveals Why He Covered His Balcony With Bullet Proof Glass: 'I Would Find...'
For years, the balcony of Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment has been iconic. Every year, the Bollywood superstar used to greet his fans on Eid from this spot of his house. However, everyone was left disheartened when the balcony was covered with bulletproof glass earlier this year. While everyone thought it was because of the constant threats that the actor has been getting, Khan has now revealed the real reason for covering his balcony.
In a recent interview, Salman Khan revealed that he decided to cover his balcony because people would climb up and stay there to meet him. 'I would find them sleeping there," he said, as quoted by Bollywood Bubble. Therefore, the actor covered his balcony for everyone's safety at home.
For the unversed, the balcony of Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments house was covered with bulletproof glass in January this year. The stepping up of the security came at a time when the actor was facing several death threats, mainly from the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang.
In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area. Later, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is alleged to be behind the attack as the gangster's brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post.
Later, the Mumbai Traffic Police also received a message from the gang, demanding Rs 5 crore for Salman's 'forgiveness." The message threatened that if the demand wasn't met, he would suffer a fate 'worse than Baba Siddique," who was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12, 2024.
After the shocking incidents, Salman Khan's security was upgraded. In October 2024, the actor also acquired a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV worth approximately Rs 2 crore, imported directly from Dubai to Mumbai. Besides this, safety measures were also implemented outside the Bigg Boss 18 sets in Mumbai's film city. Reportedly, Khan's security team was also reinforced with an additional eight to ten armed officers, and a special command center was established at his residence by the Mumbai Police.
