Salman Khan's Bodyguard Gurmeet Singh Shera Booked For Assault

Darpan News Desk IANS, 26 Oct, 2016 11:17 AM
  • Salman Khan's Bodyguard Gurmeet Singh Shera Booked For Assault
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's bodyguard Gurmeet Singh alias Shera and three of his accomplices have been booked for assaulting a man in Andheri West early Wednesday morning, an official said here.
 
According to a complaint by a 25-year-old resident of Vile Parle, Akhtar U. Qureshi, when he was driving in his Audi car with two friends on the Link Road, he saw his friend Shera, said Mumbai Police spokesperson Ashok Dudhe.
 
Shera called Qureshi who was talking on phone, and the duo entered into a heated argument over some issues, around 2 a.m.
 
Shera and his accomplices allegedly hammered Qureshi with a bat and the butt of a pistol and then escaped from there.
 
Later, Qureshi went to DN Nagar police station and lodged a complaint of assault against Shera and his three accomplices, which resulted in his collar bone being broken.
 
 
They have been booked under various sections of Indian Penal Code for assault and also under the Arms Act.
 
The matter is under investigations, Deputy Commissioner of Police Dudhe added.
 
The high-profile Shera has been a loyal and trusted bodyguard of Salman Khan for nearly two decades, prompting the the Bollywood star to dedicate his 2011 superhit film, "Bodyguard" to Shera.
 
 
Born into a Sikh family in Andheri (Manish Nagar) in Mumbai, Shera’s real name is Gurmeet Singh. Yes he is a Sikh who decided to sacrifice his turban for his job.
 
“It became very difficult to handle the crowds with my turban so I had to cut my long hair,” Shera  said in an interview. 
 
As a kid, Shera was less inclined academically and spent a major part of his early childhood chipping in at his father’s automobile workshop. And before Bollywood and Salman happened, pumping iron was Shera’s only passion, something that helped him win a few bodybuilding contests namely Mr. Mumbai and Mr. Maharashtra contest in which he stood second.
 
 
While the rest of the world including girls address Salman as Bhai, for Shera Salman is Maalik. “Maalik means master and Salman Maalik is everything to me. I will lay down my life for him. He is my god,” he says.
 
His son Tiger, a handsome young man, is waiting in the wings to be launched by Salman. The youngster is currently learning the ropes of Bollywood by assisting filmmakers and was also an assistant director on the sets of Sultan.
