Salman Khan reveals why he enclosed his iconic balcony with bulletproof glass; says, “I would find people sleeping there…”

/

Salman Khan’s balcony at Galaxy Apartment has long held iconic status, as the actor traditionally greets his fans from there on occasions like Eid. Earlier this year, however, fans were disappointed when the balcony was enclosed with bulletproof glass. Many assumed it was due to the ongoing threats against the superstar. However, Khan has now disclosed the actual reason behind the decision to shield the balcony. Salman Khan reveals why he enclosed his iconic balcony with bulletproof glass; says, “I would find people sleeping there…” In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Salman Khan shared that the real reason behind enclosing his balcony was due to people climbing up and staying there in hopes of meeting him. “I would find them sleeping there,” he revealed as quoted by the publication. As a result, the actor decided to cover the balcony to ensure the safety of everyone at home. For those who may not know, Salman Khan’s balcony at his Galaxy Apartments residence was enclosed with bulletproof glass in January this year. This heightened security measure was implemented during a period when the actor was receiving multiple death threats, primarily from the gang of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. In April 2024, gunshots were fired outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra area of Mumbai. Following the incident, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was allegedly involved. Anmol Bishnoi, the gangster’s brother, later claimed responsibility for the shooting through a post on Facebook. Subsequently, the Mumbai Traffic Police received a threatening message from the gang, demanding Rs. 5 crores in exchange for Salman Khan’s “forgiveness.” The message warned that if the demand was not fulfilled, the actor would face a fate “worse than Baba Siddique,” who was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12, 2024. Following these alarming events, Salman Khan’s security was significantly enhanced. In October 2024, he purchased a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV valued at around Rs 2 crores, imported directly from Dubai to Mumbai. Additionally, security protocols were strengthened outside the Bigg Boss 18 sets in Mumbai’s Film City. Reports also state that Khan’s security team was bolstered with an extra eight to ten armed officers, and the Mumbai Police set up a special command centre at his residence.

REVEALED! The REAL reason why Deepika Padukone walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit and it's not about working hours

/

A lot of dust has been flying around concerning Deepika Padukone’s exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next film Spirit. It has been widely reported that Vanga had Deepika replaced by another actress (Triptii Dimri) after Deepika made “unreasonable demands”, like a limited amount of working hours per day, etc. REVEALED! The REAL reason why Deepika Padukone walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and it’s not about working hours However, for the first time here is the truth on why Deepika actually walked out of Vanga’s film Spirit starring Prabhas. From a source very close to the development here is the truth. “Deepika loved the script and role in Sandeep Vanga’s film. The contract was being drawn up, when a week later she was offered Atlee’s film with Allu Arjun which she liked even more than Sandeep Vanga’s film. Since she couldn’t do both the projects, she decided to opt out of Spirit, citing differences of opinion on fee, work hours, etc,” said the source. The truth is, Vanga had no objections to whatever misgivings Deepika expressed on the project. She just got an offer that she liked better and changed her mind about Spirit with Prabhas. And no harm in that. She had already worked with Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD. Allu Arjun is going to be a new experience for her.

Tanushree Dutta breaks down in emotional video, alleges harassment at Mumbai home: “I’m sick and tired”

/

Actress Tanushree Dutta has once again raised alarming concerns about her safety and well-being, sharing an emotional video on social media where she breaks down while alleging ongoing harassment at her residence in Mumbai. The video, which has now gone viral, captures Dutta visibly distressed as she pleads for help from the public and authorities. Tanushree Dutta breaks down in emotional video, alleges harassment at Mumbai home: “I’m sick and tired” The actress captioned the video saying, “I’m sick and tired of this harassment!! It’s been going on since 2018 #metoo Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya.. Please someone help me! Do something before it’s too late.” Tanushree, who rose to fame with films like Aashiq Banaya Aapne, has been at the forefront of India’s #MeToo movement. In 2018, she accused veteran actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment during a film shoot—an allegation that triggered industry-wide conversations on abuse of power. Although the charges against Patekar were later dropped, Dutta has continued to maintain that her life has been filled with trauma and resistance ever since. In another recent post, Tanushree shared an audio clip accompanied by a dark video, highlighting the disturbing noises she claims have become a regular part of her life. “I have also dealt with loud noises like this and other very very loud banging noises above my roof and outside my door almost every day at odd hours since 2020! I got tired of complaining to the building management and gave up a few years ago. Now I just live with it and put headphones with Hindu mantras to distract my mind and keep my sanity,” she wrote. She further added, “Today I was so unwell, as you guys know I have developed Chronic fatigue syndrome due to dealing with constant stress and anxiety for last 5 years and this was going on all day and evening way past acceptable and allowed hours! Imagine… Yesterday I posted and today this! Ab samajh jao sab log ki what I’ve been dealing with. Aur bhi bohut kuch hai jo FIR mein mention karoongi.” Tanushree has appealed for immediate intervention, claiming that despite years of raising complaints, the situation continues to deteriorate. Her latest revelations have sparked a renewed wave of concern from fans and well-wishers, many of whom are urging the authorities to take swift action before matters escalate further.
