Salman Khan’s close friend Baba Siddiqui was murdered in 2024. At that time Salman was shooting the film Sikandar. Salman Khan was in emotional and physical pain after the passing of his close friend, yet he was shooting for Sikandar. Now his Sikandar co-star Vishal Vashishtha has told that Salman was in pain. Then he also suffered a rib injury, he could not even get up from the chair, he was also receiving threats, but despite this he worked hard on the set every day. Actor Vishal Vashishtha talked about the shooting of Sikandar in an interview given to PTI Showbiz. He said, ‘Sikander has been completed at a very difficult time, especially for Salman sir. This is not a hidden thing. He was completely exhausted mentally and emotionally, and was also going through a lot of problems physically. We saw all this with our own eyes. This was not a made-up story, but a reality. He would walk slowly and somehow complete his scene. As soon as ‘Cut’ was said, he would go back and get physiotherapy done. He further said, ‘One thing that I learned is that how much was going on in his background over so many years, but still he is here, shooting. He was in pain, but still kept working. There were circumstances outside which threatened his life, but despite this he continued to come for shooting. All this was very difficult for him. Firing took place at Salman’s house, Baba Siddiqui was killed first due to security. On October 12, 2024, NCP leader Baba Siddiqui had come out of the office of his son Zeeshan. Then 6 bullets were fired at him. Two bullets hit Siddiqui’s stomach and one on his chest. He was immediately admitted to Lilavati Hospital, where he was declared dead at 11.27 pm. Lawrence Gang took responsibility for this attack. An accused arrested in the murder case revealed that Salman Khan was in his hitlist before Baba Siddiqui, but due to the actor’s security, Baba Siddiqui was killed first. Just before this, on 14 April 2024, firing was done in Salman Khan’s Galaxy apartment.
