'I would sometimes find people sleeping on my balcony,' the actor added, explaining why he had to cover it move comes after a series of alarming events, including a direct shooting outside his residence and a chilling death threat through WhatsApp. The threatening message claimed that a bomb would be planted in his car. Police swiftly tracked down the suspect to Vadodara, Gujarat. 'The suspect was then traced to his home in Vadodara. Our team was dispatched, and during the investigation, his parents revealed that he is mentally unstable. However, we are still verifying their claims,' an investigating officer said. Salman has been under the radar of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, whose gang has consistently issued threats to the actor over the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. The Bishnoi community considers the animal sacred. Tensions escalated when Bishnoi's brother, Anmol, claimed responsibility for the firing outside Galaxy Apartments. The situation also took a darker turn with the murder of MLA Baba Siddique, a close friend of Salman, further adding to the sense of urgency around the actor's these incidents, Salman's security was significantly ramped up.

Safety measures were also implemented on the sets of 'Bigg Boss 18' in Mumbai's Film City.- EndsMust Watch

Shilpa Shirodkar says her husband feels she has ‘gone mad', called her when he found ‘nothing in the house': ‘I asked what do you mean'

Shilpa Shirodkar was one of the most popular actors in the Hindi film industry in the early 1990s, however, the actor chose to step away from the limelight after she tied the knot and moved out of the country. In a recent interview, Shilpa, who was a contestant on Bigg Boss 18, shared that she has adopted a minimalist approach in the kitchen ever since her time on the show. She revealed that she keeps 'three ingredients' in the kitchen now and her husband Aparesh Ranjit is baffled by her new approach. In a chat with Zoom, Shilpa shared that she hasn't spent much time inside the kitchen at her house ever since her time on the captive reality show. She shared that once, when she was traveling, her husband wondered why there were no ingredients in the kitchen. 'My husband travels a lot and he was here recently and making some mutton curry. I was travelling then. He called me and said, 'There's nothing in the house'. I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'There is no akhha garam masala'. I said, 'Oh, I don't use it anymore.' He said, 'You have gone mad'. I said, 'But the food is great otherwise as well so why do you need so many ingredients?'' In the same chat, Shilpa praised her husband and shared that they have been through many ups and downs through their 25-year marriage. 'The most important thing is respect for each other, which has lasted. Because I personally believe that initially, there is love in any relationship but it's the respect that lasts forever,' she shared.

Her husband was in the 'best phase' of his career at the time but Shilpa expressed that she wanted to move back to India, and he readily agreed. She shared, 'He is a banker by profession and it's a very different industry and I have a lot of regard for his kind of work and he has a lot of regard for my kind of work. In 2009, when we made the shift, my husband was in the best phase of his career and he knew that I was going through emotional trauma and I was a wreck and he knew that it was important for me to come back home and just be around my sister. He said, 'Don't worry about work, it will happen, let's go back home.'' In an earlier chat with Pinkvilla, Shilpa shared that she was getting treatment in London but it wasn't helping her much. 'I used to cry a lot, I had no control over my tears. Even when anything good happened, still I couldn't stop crying. I had become a robot, and wasn't interested in anything. I had put on so much weight, I had dark circles, I had no interest in life. I used to not go out, don't do anything, was just doing things because I had a young child, dropping her and picking her up from school. Wasn't talking to anyone at home. If I talked, there was a misunderstanding. In fact, I just wanted to hit my head on the wall. I was seeing a counsellor, I was taking antidepressants, I was in a mess. And the only person I was talking to was my sister, as I thought she was the only one who could understand me. I used to get so angry with Aparesh and even take out my anger on our daughter by hitting her, because I didn't know what to do.'
