Jolly. His association with Salman started in 1997 after Sohail Khan hired him to manage security for Salman in Indore.
Before that, they had briefly met when Shera was guarding Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves during a visit to India. As quoted by Screen, Shera recalled, 'I had just set up my own company—Tiger Security—and that year (1995) Sohailbhai (Khan's brother) called me because he wanted someone to go with Salman for shows and all.
Sohailbhai was impressed with me, seeing the way I talk and all. He asked me: 'Eh yaar, bhai ke saath tu rahega kya? Rahega na? (Will you stay with bhai? You'll stay, won't you?)'.'

That was the moment the deal was struck. 'That time I used to wear a turban. I am a Sikh. Because of my job I had to leave the turban. It was not possible to keep because of the crowds. So I had to cut my hair. I started wearing a cap. We went for a show and gelled well.'

trailer launch, Shera declared his readiness to protect Salman at any cost, saying, 'I am ready to take a bullet for him. But Bhai is the real-life bodyguard; if push comes to shove, he can take 10 bullets for his family and friends.'
Salman, in turn, shared the deep trust he places in Shera: 'I can trust him with everything. I can trust him with money, I can trust him with women, I can trust him with my family, I can trust him with my life.
I can trust him before alcohol and after alcohol.'
Salman also recounted a humorous episode from one night when Shera, intoxicated, challenged everyone to a boxing match. 'I remember one night, everybody had had a little too much to drink, and suddenly, they wanted to spar. I heard sounds of bodies hitting the floor, and saw my brother-in-law

's mouth split open because Shera was in total form.
He then called me over, and taunted me by saying, 'No bodyguard around to protect you today'. I told him to chill, but he wouldn't. So I wore the gloves, and saw Shera running towards me. I got a lucky shot in, and I knew that I couldn't give him the chance to hit me back, so I kept punching him while he was down. Shera was so drunk, he started crying. He went into the kitchen, came out with a toothpick, and started slashing himself with it.
'Maalik, I can do anything for you', he said,' Salman recalled with a laugh.
Even on his very first day working with Salman, Shera needed a little extra help to keep up with the work that comes with Khan's superstar status. He shared with

, 'I was little tired. He gave me a pill. Bole, 'Have this'. One dose of something he gave me. I had it. You can't believe it: I ran 8 km in front of his car to clear the road (of fans). That was the job I did with Bhai.'

launch event, Salman teasingly asked Shera about the 'woman' he was guarding when they first met, to which Shera replied with a mischievous smile, 'Which one?' Despite Shera knowing all about his 'Maalik,' Salman doesn't mind his bodyguard speaking to the media. Shera revealed, 'I never talked to the press actually. He told me, if you want you can talk. I said 'No, no'. Now, you see, things are changed. I will never write the book Salmanbhai joked about, that if I write, he will be doomed.
Don't try to lead me there. It won't work.'

Bad news for Urvashi Rautela as she lost jewellery worth Rs 70 lakhs from..., accuses...
Bad news for Urvashi Rautela, as she lost jewellery worth Rs 70 lakhs from..., accuses... In an industry where fame is often associated with wealth. Public figures often walk a tightrope between luxury and sensitivity. But among the many actors that own some prized possessions, there is one actress who has often made headlines for her bold fashion statements and extravagant lifestyle, but in recent months, it's not her films or outfits that have created a buzz; rather, it's her back-to-back luxury mishaps and a controversial comment during a sensitive time that have brought her under sharp public scrutiny. Urvashi Rautela Luxury Mishap A few months ago, Urvashi Rautela was creating a buzz on social media for her insensitive comment during the promotion of her film at the start of 2025. While fans and the industry were dealing with the shocking stabbing of actor Saif Ali Khan, she seemed detached and overly focused on flaunting her expensive gifts. During an interview with ANI, she was asked to share her views on the incident, but instead of showing some sympathy or concern, she took away from the magnanimity of the situation. She said: 'It is very unfortunate. Now, Daaku Maharaaj has crossed Rs. 105 crore at the box office, and my mother gifted me this diamond-studded Rolex. In contrast, my father gifted me this mini watch on my finger, but we don't feel confident wearing it outside openly. There is this insecurity that anybody can attack us. Whatever happened was very unfortunate.' The internet didn't take kindly to her words, accusing her of being out of touch with reality and insensitive to the gravity of the situation. This wasn't the only time she made headlines for her luxurious life. In 2023, Urvashi shocked social media by announcing that she had lost her 24-carat real gold iPhone at the Narendra Modi Stadium during a World Cup match. She posted: 'Lost my 24-carat real gold iPhone at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad! If anyone comes across it, please help. Contact me ASAP.' Then, in 2025, during her trip to London for the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, there was another headline. She claimed that her Christian Dior brown baggage, reportedly containing jewellery worth ₹70 lakh, was stolen at London's Gatwick Airport. She wrote: 'As a Platinum Emirates Member and a global artist attending Wimbledon, I am deeply disheartened to report that our Christian Dior brown baggage was stolen from the baggage belt at London Gatwick Airport, following our Emirates flight from Mumbai.' While Urvashi's fans sympathized with her losses, some also questioned her repeated emphasis on luxury, especially during times of public grief or unrest.

'Son of Sardaar 2' X reviews out: Netizens laud Ajay Devgn's 'paisa vasool' film, praise his comic timing
Son Of Sardaar 2 X Review: Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur 's newly released comedy-drama has finally made its way to cinemas. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film serves as a spiritual continuation of the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar, which starred Ajay in a similarly quirky, action-filled role. This new installment not only revisits the vibrant Punjabi humor and family-oriented storytelling of the original but also marks the final screen appearance of actor Mukul Dev, who passed away before the film's release. Audience Reaction and Social Buzz As expected, moviegoers wasted no time sharing their initial impressions after the film's first-day screenings. Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) was quickly filled with a wave of viewer responses. Many called the film an entertaining crowd-pleaser, even as they acknowledged some narrative shortcomings. Audiences broadly labeled it a "paisa vasool" experience, meaning that it's worth the money, provided viewers don't take it too seriously.

They praised his earthy charisma, impeccable comic timing, and magnetic screen appeal. According to this viewer, the movie successfully combines action, emotional beats, and a family-oriented storyline while staying rooted in its Punjabi cultural backdrop. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Global Indices Are on the Move — Time to Trade!

Her performance was described as graceful and balanced, especially when paired opposite Ajay's intense presence. Viewers also felt that the chemistry between the leads was engaging and natural, and the supporting cast delivered well-timed humor that kept the narrative light. Despite the overall positive buzz, some viewers pointed out areas where the film felt slightly prolonged. They noted that while the comedy and emotional moments worked, the plot lacked major twists or unexpected developments. As a result, the story felt a bit predictable, although still enjoyable for its entertainment value. One person described the movie as a satisfying sequel that mirrors the original in tone and flavor, even if it doesn't break new ground. — UmairSandu (@UmairSandu) Dissenting Opinions and Sharp Criticism However, not all feedback was glowing. A handful of negative reviews emerged as well. One particularly harsh critique came from a viewer who rated the film just one star out of five, calling it the worst film of 2025. This user found fault with both the lead and supporting performances, labeling the film as cringeworthy and poorly executed. Plot Overview and Box Office Competition The story revolves around a man who fakes being a war hero in an effort to help two lovers gain approval from their disapproving families. The narrative draws on themes of love, deception, and familial bonds, all within a humorous setup. The project is backed by producers Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N.R. Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja. Son of Sardaar 2 has been released alongside Dhadak 2 , a romantic action drama starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, making for a competitive box office weekend.
