Meanwhile, Salman Khan’s bodyguard Shera is the most popular bodyguard in Bollywood. Even Shera has not been away from controversies since he too was booked in an assault case some years ago. However, it was proved to be a false case later.

Shera had also featured in Salman Khan’s movie Bodyguard a few years ago. In fact, it is said that Salman dedicated the movie bodyguard to Shera. He was seen alongside Salman in the title track of Bodyguard.

Salman is reportedly planning to launch Shera’s son Tiger. Salman had revealed a few months ago that Tiger was being ‘groomed’ for a big launch. The 53-year-old had also shared that many filmmakers have expressed willingness to launch him and Salman himself was going through the scripts, to select the best one for him. 

A video of Salman Khan asking Shera to walk ahead of it in the ‘Pehle aap, pehle aap’ way at the airport had gone viral. A video where Shera was dancing with his father too had made headlines.
