Shera, bodyguard
He has practically lived as Salman’s shadow guarding his life and limb since 1995. From running in front of Salman’s car in Indore for almost two kilometers to clear out the frenzied crowd to taking care of his family when Salman spent time in jail, Shera has done it all. On May 6 too, Shera started his day by accompanying Salman to the court and stayed with him right through the evening till he got bail and then escorted him back to the precincts of Galaxy Apartments. Says a source close to the star, “Shera is tireless when it comes to guarding Salman whom he calls Malik. He is extremely efficient when it comes to crowd management and in getting Salman a smooth passage at public places. Salman trusts him with his life.”
Raju Nag, veteran make-up artist
He is among Salman’s most trusted allies in his inner circle. Raju had famously refused to work for Salman when the latter was just starting out in the industry and it is only after much convincing that he finally agreed. Today Raju also runs his own security agency that looks after Salman’s security detail while at shoots and events. Raju’s security guards were at work outside Galaxy Apartments keeping the crowd at bay since the morning of May 6.
