What Salman said about his security
Salman Khan has talked about the problems of living with beefed-up security in the past. The actor, who had met the media in Mumbai last year, opened up about his security and said sometimes it gets difficult to move around with a large security detail around him. But he also said he does not live in fear of the threats against him and puts his trust in God.
The actor told the media, “Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai (It’s all up to God, Allah. What is written is written. That’s all). Sometimes, having to move around with so many people becomes a problem.”
Salman’s comments are indicative of his attitude to the situation in which he continues to fulfil his professional duties despite the security problems.
