Promos for the episode hinted that Salman wasn’t mentally prepared to return to the show, but in a newly surfaced clip, the actor candidly expressed his frustration. While addressing the issues and conflicts among the participants, Salman said, “Yaar, kasam khuda ki, what all I am going through in my life and I have to handle this.” Though he didn’t specify, the remark seemed to reference the recent death threats and the toll of Siddique’s passing.
Salman has been dealing with security concerns for a while now, particularly after receiving multiple death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Following Siddique’s murder, a member of the same gang claimed responsibility and issued a fresh warning to Salman.
On Friday, new threats were sent to Mumbai Traffic Police via WhatsApp, demanding Rs 5 crore from Salman Khan. The messages warned that if Salman didn’t comply, his fate would be worse than Siddique’s. The case has been registered with Worli Police, and an investigation is ongoing.
In response to these threats, Salman’s security has been significantly tightened. The actor, already under Y+ security, now has enhanced protection on the sets of Bigg Boss 18. According to reports, over 60 security personnel are present during the shoot, and strict protocols are in place, including Aadhaar card verification for anyone entering the set. The Bigg Boss 18 production team is working closely with Salman’s security detail to ensure his safety, and all crew members are required to stay on set until filming wraps up.
