In a poignant display of solidarity and brotherhood, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been a constant source of support for Zeeshan Siddique, the son of slain NCP leader Baba Siddique. Zeeshan, in a recent interview with BBC Hindi, shared the details of Khan’s unwavering support, highlighting the profound bond the two families shared.
“Salman bhai was very upset after Baba Siddique’s murder. Dad and Salman bhai were close like brothers. After dad’s death, bhai supported a lot. He always checks up on me, every night, he talks to me about being sleepless and all, his support is always there,” Zeeshan shared with the news outlet.
The bond between the two families transcends the realm of celebrity, highlighting the genuine connection and friendship that existed between Baba Siddique and Salman Khan. This bond has only strengthened in the wake of the tragedy, with Salman Khan offering his constant support and comfort to Zeeshan.
The tragic murder of Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader, sent shockwaves through the state. He was gunned down by three assailants near his son’s office in Mumbai’s Bandra area on October 12th. The incident sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many demanding swift justice for the slain leader.
The murder has been linked to the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with reports indicating that they claimed responsibility for the act. The gang has also been implicated in several other high-profile cases, including threats against Salman Khan himself. This connection has raised concerns about the safety of Zeeshan Siddique and the wider implications of the ongoing feud between the Bishnoi gang and prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
Zeeshan Siddique, in a powerful statement on social media, expressed his determination to carry on his father’s legacy, declaring, “The blood of a lion runs in my veins. I am still here, unafraid and unbroken. They took one, but I rise in his place. This fight is far from over.” His words resonate with a sense of resilience and unwavering determination to seek justice for his father and combat the forces that seek to silence him.
The incident has brought the stark realities of organized crime and its reach into the world of entertainment to the forefront. The story of Salman Khan’s unwavering support for Zeeshan Siddique, alongside the latter’s own resolve, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of human connection and resilience in the face of adversity.
