I WON’T STAND NEXT TO BHAI, I’LL STAND IN FRONT OF HIM IN THE FACE OF DANGER: SHERA
Always around Salman Khan, and aware of his every little movement! We’re not talking about any die-hard fan of the Bollywood star, but a man who can die for him — Salman’s bodyguard Shera who has been the actor’s right-hand man for more than 20 years.
“Jab tak zinda hoon, bhai ke saath rahunga,” says Shera, who fondly calls Salman ‘bhai’, much like most of the actor’s fans. “I always tell people that they will never see me standing behind or next to bhai. I will be standing in front of him, looking out for any threat,” he adds.
The strong bond that Shera and Salman share is no secret. The actor had even dedicated his 2011 film, Bodyguard, to him, something that Shera is eternally grateful about.
Over the years, Shera has become a celebrity in his own way, but for him, being popular is a secondary thing. Salman’s safety is his priority, and he goes about shielding him from large crowds without any fear whatsoever. “If there would be any fear, why would I take up this profession?” says Shera.
Shera also runs an agency that provides security to highprofile clients. He thanks Salman for all the support. “Bhai has been family for so many years. He has seen me doing my business, and he is always there for me,” he says.
Besides Salman, Shera’s firm has provided security to international names such as Flash, Diana King, U2, Bryan Adams, Shaggy, Keanu Reeves, and Paris Hilton. Shera also provided security to Canadian pop star Justin Bieber during his Indian concert in May, 2017.
