Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has revealed the real reason behind installing bulletproof glass on his iconic Galaxy Apartment balcony: a surprising history of fans climbing onto his property.
A New View for Fans
For years, Salman Khan’s balcony at Galaxy Apartment in Bandra has been a landmark, a place where he regularly greets thousands of devoted fans. This tradition, especially on Eid, is a beloved ritual for both the star and his admirers.
However, recent sightings show Salman waving from behind new, reinforced glass. The actor recently shared that this isn’t just about protection from recent threats, but also to prevent people from physically accessing his home. He admitted he would often find fans sleeping on his balcony.
Heightened Security Concerns
The decision to upgrade security comes amidst significant safety concerns. Last year, shots were fired at his residence, an incident for which gangster Anmol Bishnoi, brother of Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed responsibility.
Just months ago, Salman also received a direct death threat via WhatsApp, promising a car bomb attack. Police traced the individual, who was later claimed by his parents to be mentally unstable, though investigations are ongoing.
The Ongoing Threat
These incidents are linked to a long-standing feud with notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The animosity stems from a blackbuck poaching case in 1998, during the filming of “Hum Saath Saath Hain.”
The Bishnoi community considers the blackbuck a sacred animal, and Lawrence Bishnoi has repeatedly vowed revenge against Salman Khan for the incident. This relentless vendetta has reportedly led to a constant threat level against the actor and his associates.
- Salman Khan installed bulletproof glass on his balcony due to fans climbing onto his property.
- He previously found people sleeping on his balcony, posing a security risk.
- The security upgrade follows a shooting incident at his home and recent death threats.
- The threats are linked to Lawrence Bishnoi’s ongoing vendetta over a 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
The increased security measures underscore the serious nature of the threats the actor continues to face, transforming a traditional fan interaction into a more secure, yet still visible, connection.
