Bollywood stars Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Pooja Bhatt, and several more arrived to pay their respects to politician Baba Siddique at his funeral. However, Shah Rukh Khan, who had a close friendship with Siddique and frequently attended his lavish iftar parties, was strangely absent. And sources close to the actor have finally explained the reason for his decision to forgo the ceremony.
Despite his bond with Baba Siddique, Shah Rukh decided to avoid the funeral to steer clear of any potential political controversies surrounding it. While he attended other memorials recently, including a prayer meet for a photographer and Farah Khan¡¯s mother, this time, he opted for a more cautious approach.
The media reached out to SRK¡¯s team and close friends for comments, but they chose to remain silent, only fueling speculation about his absence. An insider shared that Shah Rukh is being careful about his connections to this high-profile case, especially since it involves a brutal murder that could lead to unwanted attention.
While it maybe be a cautious move, but the fans are not at all standing in support with SRK this time. A tweet read, "SRK is the most selfish person who uses others for his benefits but will never stand with people in their tough times." While the other person said, "More than anyone, it's Salman Khan who is in danger, but he still showed up for his friends funeral, and look at SRK, so selfish."
¡°He wants to distance himself from the politician¡¯s murder case, particularly since it¡¯s linked to Salman Khan as well. Given the situation with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Shah Rukh is making a wise decision to stay out of the spotlight,¡± the source told to Zoom. SRK¡¯s absence at the funeral indicates his desire to avoid any complications and protect himself.
Baba Siddique, a seasoned politician and three-time MLA from Bandra West, was tragically murdered while visiting his son¡¯s office. The infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the killing, reportedly issuing death threats against Salman Khan as part of their ongoing vendetta.
A facebook profile named Shubbu Lonkar Maharashtra posted a message in hindi addressing Salman Khan, stating that they never intended for conflict but felt harmed by his actions against their brother. The message claimed that the recent events, whether tied to Baba Siddique's protection or connections with Dawood, aimed to link Anuj Thapan and Dawood with Bollywood, politics, and property dealings following Siddique's death. They emphasized that they hold no enmity towards anyone but warned that anyone supporting Salman Khan and Dawood's group must be cautious about their actions. The post concluded with a clear warning that if any harm comes to their brother, they would respond, asserting that they had never initiated any attack. The message ended with a salute to martyrs, along with hashtags related to the Lawrence Bishnoi group.
As the investigation continues, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder, leaving the industry and fans anxious about the unfolding situation. The events surrounding this case serve as a stark reminder of the complexities that can exist in the world of Bollywood.
