Shah Rukh Khan Joins List of Celebrities Facing Death Threats
Shah Rukh Khan’s name has now been added to the list of high-profile celebrities who have been threatened in recent times. This incident follows closely on the heels of similar threats received by Salman Khan, with whom Shah Rukh shares a longstanding friendship. The recent threats come at a time when Mumbai’s film industry has been rocked by a series of security breaches, including threats linked to the infamous murder of Baba Siddiqui.
While the authorities are investigating the case, this incident is being closely linked to a specific dialogue from Shah Rukh Khan’s movie “Aan Jaam”. According to a local lawyer in Raipur, the controversy stems from a particular line in the film where Shah Rukh’s character talks about hunting and eating a deer. The lawyer alleges that the line deeply offended the Bishnoi community, who are known for their commitment to wildlife conservation, and this could have led to the death threat.
Connection to Bishnoi Community
The Bishnoi community, who are ardent protectors of animals and nature, have historically been sensitive about the portrayal of wildlife in films and media. The lawyer’s claim that this dialogue has hurt the sentiments of the community has sparked debate on how sensitive portrayals of cultural and religious beliefs can incite unrest. This accusation comes at a time when the Bishnoi community has been vocal about the protection of wildlife and the preservation of ecological balance.
Previous Threats in Bollywood: A Long-Standing Trend
Shah Rukh Khan is not the first Bollywood celebrity to have faced death threats. The entertainment industry, especially actors with massive fan followings, has seen a long history of threats, some of which have turned violent:

- Sanjay Dutt – The actor, known for his tough roles, was also a target of threats from underworld figures like Abu Salem and Dawood Ibrahim in his early career.
- Akshay Kumar – The action star faced threats from gangster Ravi Pujari, who demanded money for the safety of the actor.
- Aamir Khan – Even Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, has been the subject of threats during his career.
The Ongoing Threats to Celebrities
This ongoing trend of Bollywood celebrities receiving death threats from gangsters and underworld figures has become a serious concern for the industry. While the police are taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of these high-profile stars, the question remains whether Bollywood’s glamorous world can ever be fully shielded from these dark forces.
