Baba Siddique Murder: Will Salman Khan Shoot for 'Bigg Boss 18′ Weekend Ka Vaar This Week or Cancel It for His Security?

Bigg Boss 18 host Salman Khan is going through one of the toughest phases of his life. There is 24x7 security outside Salman Khan's home at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, as dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has said that he has the superstar on his radar. This comes after the death of politician and builder Baba Siddique on October 12 after being reportedly shot at by Lawrence Bishnoi's gang members. In April 2024, there were gunshots fired outside Salman Khan's house by the same gang. The gangster claims he is targeting Salman Khan for allegedly killing the chinkara blackbuck when he was shooting for Hum Saath Saath Hain (1998) in Jodhpur. For the Bishnoi clan, the animal is seen as a manifestation of Guru Jambheshwar who heads the Bishnoi sect. ‘Bigg Boss 18’: Vivian Dsena Gets Called Out by VJ Andy for Nasty, Sadistic Behaviour Towards Chahat Pandey.

Fans are wondering if Salman Khan will shoot for Bigg Boss 18 this weekend in this tense situation. Sources revealed that he had sleepless nights after the demise of Baba Siddique, and his family is not allowing anyone to meet him. The actor's team cancelled all meetings for the superstar in the week. The shoot of Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar happens on Thursdays and Fridays. We wonder if Salman Khan will go on the sets in the aftermath of this horrific murder. The night that Baba Siddiqui was murdered, Salman Khan stopped the Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar shoot mid-way and headed to Lilavati Hospital.

While the security in Film City is quite tight, where the Bigg Boss 18 set has been built, no one would like to take chances. Baba Siddique had Y-Level security when this tragedy occurred. He was shot dead outside his son Zeeshan Siddique's office in Bandra. The three-time Indian National Congress (INC) MLA had joined Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) just ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. It is now clear that the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang is operating with clever planning in this matter. The Maharashtra Police is asking for the custody of the gangster from the Centre.
