"what all I am going through in my life and I have to handle this."
Salman Khan appeared to address the ongoing death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The Bollywood star made the comments whilst hosting Bigg Boss 18.
On October 18, 2024, Salman was allegedly threatened by the Bishnoi gang.
The gang demanded Rs. 5 Crore to “end the enmity”.
A WhatsApp message sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police warned that if the money is not paid, then the actor’s fate would be worse than that of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was murdered recently, allegedly by Lawrence Bishnoi gang members.
On Bigg Boss 18, Salman called out the contestants for their constant bickering, stating that it is only adding to his problems, supposedly referring to the threats.
The dejected-looking star said:
“I swear to God, what all I am going through in my life and I have to handle this.”
On X, many showed their support for the actor.
One wrote: “Honestly, he deserves a hug.”
Another commented: “He is looking so stressed.”

Several suspects have been arrested for conspiring to kill Salman.
Police sources said one of the suspects had been in contact with a Pakistan-based handler to plan the attack, which would include guns smuggled from the country.
Lawrence Bishnoi has held a grudge against Salman Khan since the actor was named as an accused in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
NCP leader Baba Siddique was shot dead by three gunmen outside his son’s office in Mumbai.
Baba Siddique had ties to Bollywood and Salman Khan, with the latter’s support helping him become MLA.
After the assassination, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility.
In a post claiming responsibility for the shooting, a member of the Bishnoi gang issued a threat to Salman and his acquaintances, saying that “anyone who helps Salman Khan or the Dawood gang should be prepared”.
Bishnoi associate Shubham Rameshwar Lonkar wrote:
“Om, Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat I understand the value of life, consider wealth and the body as dust.
“I did only what was right, honoured the duty of friendship.
“Salman Khan, we did not want this war but you made our brother lose his life.”
“Today those praising Baba Siddique or was with Dawood under the MCOCA Act.
“The reason for his death was his linking of Dawood and Anuj Thapan to Bollywood, politics, and property dealings.
“We have no enmity with anyone. However, anyone who helps Salman Khan or the Dawood gang should be prepared.
“If anyone gets any of our brothers killed, we will definitely respond. We never strike first. Jai Shri Ram, Jai Bharat, salute to the martyrs.”
