Salman Khan has reacted to the repeated death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

The Bollywood megastar addressed the threats during a promotional event for his upcoming film Sikandar.

He said: “It’s all up to God, Allah. What is written is written. That’s all.”

Salman acknowledged the challenges created by the heightened security cover provided to him after the threats and the shooting near his apartment.

He added: “Sometimes, having to move around with so many people becomes a problem. “Galaxy, shoot, shoot Galaxy. No detours.”

Salman Khan has faced several attempts on his life. In April 2024, two men on a motorcycle fired several shots outside Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, where the actor lives.

The investigation later revealed that the shooting was aimed to intimidate the actor and was carried out on the instructions of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

The gangster, who is in prison in Gujarat, is enraged with Salman Khan over the 1998 blackbuck shooting case, in which he was accused.

The Bishnoi community holds blackbucks sacred. After the death of politician Baba Siddique in October 2024, the Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility and issued a warning to Salman.

Talking about filming Sikandar, Salman revealed filming had to take place with a heavy security presence.

Salman said that even though it was a tough shoot in terms of planning so many outdoor locations, it all went well.

Former Sri Lankan captain and cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya observed a fast with his Muslim friends and shared an Iftar photo on social media.

A Buddhist by faith, Jayasuriya revealed that he has been fasting for a day every Ramazan since his school days to experience the spirit of the month alongside his Muslim friends, keeping this tradition alive for years.

Sharing a picture on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:
“Fasted today with my Muslim friends—this is a small tradition I have followed since my school days during Ramadan.”

Fans from around the world praised the cricket legend for his gesture of inclusivity.

One user commented: “Wonderful, Sanath! It’s amazing how you’ve kept this beautiful tradition alive with your friends. Ramazan is a time for reflection and unity. As a Sinhalese who grew up in a Muslim village, I truly cherish those days.”

Jayasuriya’s gesture is a remarkable example of religious harmony and mutual respect, further earning him admiration from his fans.

Social media is abuzz with similarities between the looks of Virat Kohli and Turkish actor Cavit Çetin Günîr’s, who plays Doğan Bey in Diriliş: Ertuğrul.

Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli has once again become a trending topic on social media, but this time, it has nothing to do with his performances on the pitch. Instead, fans have been captivated by the uncanny resemblance between Kohli and Turkish actor Cavit Çetin Günîr, best known for portraying Doğan Bey in the historical drama Diriliş: Ertuğrul.

What started as a casual observation on Reddit soon snowballed into a viral discussion, with fans flooding social media platforms with memes and witty comparisons. The online buzz not only reignited interest in celebrity lookalikes but also underscored the vast global appeal of both Kohli and Diriliş: Ertuğrul.

The internet frenzy began when a Reddit user posted a screenshot of Günîr in character as Doğan Bey, accompanied by the caption: “Anushka Sharma’s husband’s TV show debut.” The post swiftly gained traction, amassing thousands of reactions and comments from amused fans.

One user shared their astonishment, stating, “Dont tell me he is NOT Virat but someone else. Damn!!!”.

Another quipped, “The first time I saw this Doğan Bey character in Ertuğrul, I genuinely thought, ‘What’s Kohli doing in a Turkish series?’ The resemblance is scary.”

Cavit Çetin Günîr rose to prominence through his role in Diriliş: Ertuğrul, a series created by Mehmet Bozdağ that aired between 2014 and 2019. The show, which chronicles the life of Ertuğrul Bey—the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire—became a global sensation, particularly in South Asia, where it garnered a massive fan base.
