Bollywood celebrities distancing themselves from Salman Khan to save their lives?
It’s been three days since the news of the assassination broke out. And the open threats were given to Salaman Khan. However, not even a single celebrity reacted to it until now, surprisingly. Baba Siddique is also known for hosting lavish luxury parties that include Bollywood stars. Siddique also shares a close bond with Shah Rukh Khan. It is a known fact to everyone that Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan reunited at Baba Siddique’s Iftar party after their ugly fight at Katrina’s birthday party. Both the stars were seen together so many times after the reunion.
Yet Shah Rukh Khan did not respond to the ongoing issues until now. Strangely, he hasn’t visited Baba Siddique’s home or said anything on social media about his passing. He also chooses to stay away from extending his support for his fellow star, considering the threats given. Not only King Khan, but no other celebrity has come out in support of Salman Khan until now. This sparks the rumor that Bollywood stars are trying to distance themselves from Salman Khan. As fear and danger surround Salman Khan, actors are keeping a safe distance to protect themselves as it might affect their personal and professional lives.
