The last journey will start at 4 PM from my residence 1902, The Park luxury Residences, Off Lokhandwala Back Road, Oshiwara, Andheri West, Mumbai," he wrote.
Shera, Salman Khan's trusted bodyguard, has been an integral part of the actor's life since 1995. With a background in bodybuilding, having won the Mr. Mumbai Junior title in 1987 and runner-up in the Mr. Maharashtra Junior competition in 1988, Shera transitioned into security services. He founded Tiger Security, a private security company that provides protection to numerous celebrities. Notably, his team handled security for Justin Bieber's 2017 concert in Mumbai.
Beyond his work with Salman Khan, Shera has made appearances in various capacities, including a recent Swiggy ad themed around Rakshabandhan. This showcases another side of Shera, who is often seen accompanying Salman Khan to public events, film sets and award functions. Shera's relationship with Salman Khan extends beyond a professional capacity, as he considers the actor like family and has vowed to stand by him as long as he's alive.
