In addition to this, Salman’s bodyguard, Shera, being his loyal self, helped the actor make his way toward their parked car. The actor looked quite devastated and heartbroken, as remorse and somberness were clearly visible on his face after losing his dear friend.

Just a while back, Salman’s brother Sohail Khan, Arpita Khan, Alvira Agnihotri, Arbaaz Khan’s wife Sshura Khan and Iulia Vantur were also seen arriving to pay their last respects to the veteran politician. Additionally, Veer and Shikhar Pahariya, with their grandfather Sushil Kumar Shinde, Pooja Bhatt, and more, arrived at Siddique’s home. 

Notably, a report published in India Today has revealed that Salman Khan is “devastated and in a lot of pain after losing his very dear friend Baba Siddique.” The source mentioned that the veteran politician was not just a friend but also like a family to him. Baba and his son, Zeeshan Siddique, were welcomed with a lot of love and warmth when they recently visited the superstar at his home, Galaxy Apartments.

It was further revealed that the superstar was unable to sleep and constantly kept a check on Zeeshan and the family ever since he came back from the hospital. “Bhai has been on the phone checking on the funeral arrangements and every other detail. He has canceled all his personal meetings for the next few days as well,” the source said.

Dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed the responsibility for Baba Siddique’s killing due to his close ties with the superstar and underworld figures Anuj Thapan and Dawood Ibrahim.

Beautifully nuanced, heartbreaking, compassionate, effortless and real. Every award should go to you. You should be on the cover of every publication. You are the real HERO. A real role model.
