Salman Khan's bodyguard Shera gets candid about his bond with superstar; 'I am a Sardar, he is a Pathaan...'

As a dedicated follower and admirer of the bond between Shera and Salman Khan, I find their relationship to be nothing short of extraordinary. With three decades of loyalty and service, Shera has proven himself to be an unwavering pillar of support for the superstar. His dedication is so profound that he refers to himself as a “Sardar” and Salman as a “Pathaan,” highlighting their unique dynamic that seems to work flawlessly.


Known as Gurmeet Singh Jolly but commonly called Shera, this individual has had a 30-year connection with the renowned actor, Salman Khan. Since 1995, Shera has served as Salman’s bodyguard and is respected for his unwavering loyalty towards the star for nearly three decades. Lately, Shera made headlines by purchasing a luxurious Range Rover valued at approximately Rs 1.4 crore. Recently, Shera spoke candidly about his relationship with Salman Khan, revealing that he identifies himself as a “Sardar” and refers to the superstar as a “Pathan.”

During his latest interview with Zoom, Shera recalled his first meeting with Salman Khan during a show. Salman’s brother, actor-producer Sohail Khan, approached him to work with the superstar. Shera, who used to wear a turban back then, revealed that Sohail wanted security for Salman as there was an issue at a stage show. 

Actor from Krishna Cottage requested Shera to serve as Salman’s head of security, which he accepted. Previously, Shera and Salman had collaborated during various shows, but eventually, they developed a strong friendship

Salman’s bodyguard Shera expressed their deep bond, saying, “Our connection is profound. He’s a Sardar, I’m a Pathaan, and our duo simply fits together perfectly. I told him, ‘As long as I am around, I will be at your service.'”

Discussing his long-standing relationship with Salman Khan, Shera reflected on their 29 years of working together. He mentioned that unlike other actors who often switch bodyguards, he has been by Salman’s side for decades, implying a deep bond. He also shared that he is the one who can handle and look after Salman in a unique way that no one else can

As a diehard fan, I can’t help but share my excitement when talking about the legendary figure known as Shera! This man has been the rock of protection for stars like Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, and Hrithik Roshan, but let me tell you a secret – he didn’t just work with them; he worked with them all for one man: Salman. Now here’s where it gets interesting – Shera is 55 years young, and he boldly declared that it was none other than Salman who requested his services! However, what truly captivates me is his unwavering loyalty towards the Sikandar actor; a bond that will continue to stand firm

On the 27th of August, Shera shared an image of his freshly acquired Range Rover on Instagram. In the snapshot, Shera could be seen posing proudly with his new ride, and he wrote a caption expressing gratitude for the divine blessings that made this addition to his household possible: “With the blessings from above, we now welcome our newest family member…”

Salman Khan is currently working with director AR Muragadoss on a project titled “Sikandar,” set to hit theaters on Eid 2025. Additionally, Salman will collaborate with filmmaker Atlee on an upcoming film as well
