Salman Khan, the famous Bollywood star, is boosting his security at his well-known Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. This decision follows a shooting that happened eight months ago in April 2024, when unknown attackers fired shots at his home.
The changes he’s making involve installing bulletproof windows, strengthening the entrances, and putting in place a high-tech security system. Even his balcony, from where he frequently waves to fans, is now equipped with bulletproof glass to keep him safer.
Lawrence Bishnoi Threat
On April 14, two men on motorcycles fired several shots at Salman Khan’s home before speeding away. This attack raised worries about Khan’s safety, especially because of threats made by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

To improve safety at home, Khan has made some important updates. He got himself a bulletproof Nissan Patrol SUV, which was brought in from Dubai, and he has also added more armed bodyguards to his team. The Mumbai Police have established a special command center at Galaxy Apartments to keep an eye on any possible dangers.
