Salman Khan’s long-time bodyguard and close friend, Shera, is mourning the loss of his father, Sunder Singh Jolly, who passed away at the age of 88 after a prolonged battle with cancer. The heartbreaking news was confirmed by Shera in an emotional statement, marking the end of his father’s courageous fight with the illness.
Shera shared the news with his followers, writing, “My father Shri Sunder Singh Jolly has left for heavenly abode today. The last journey will start at 4 PM from my residence at 1902, The Park Luxury Residences, Off Lokhandwala Back Road, Oshiwara, Andheri West, Mumbai.” The funeral ceremony was held at Oshiwara Crematorium in Jogeshwari West, where friends, family, and fans paid their last respects to the beloved father.
Shortly after the cremation, Salman Khan, who has been a long-time supporter of Shera, arrived at his residence in Mumbai to offer his condolences and emotional support. The two shared a warm hug, captured by photographers, a moment that has since gone viral. Fans have flooded social media with messages of sympathy and admiration for the bond between the superstar and his bodyguard. The gesture has been praised for its deep emotional resonance, and fans are sending heartfelt messages of strength to Shera and his family during this challenging time.
Shera and Salman’s relationship goes beyond the professional realm. Salman has publicly acknowledged Shera as not just a bodyguard, but a close member of his family. Their bond has been a symbol of unwavering loyalty, with Shera being by Salman’s side during countless public appearances over the years, from film promotions to family celebrations like Eid, and even during Salman’s famous birthday balcony waves.
A few months ago, Shera celebrated his father’s 88th birthday with an emotional tribute on Instagram, calling his father “the strongest man, my God, my father, my inspiration!” He shared, “Every bit of strength in me comes from you. Love you dad always.” The heartfelt message resonated deeply with Shera’s followers, and now, as his father has passed, fans are returning that support, with many offering comforting words.
Shera has been a prominent figure in Salman Khan’s life for decades, becoming one of the most recognizable bodyguards in the country. His loyalty and dedication have earned him respect and admiration from people within the entertainment industry and beyond. Apart from serving as Salman’s bodyguard, Shera is also the founder of Tiger Security, a renowned security company that has provided protection to some of the biggest names in Bollywood and international celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, and even global stars such as Mike Tyson and Justin Bieber.
Shera’s influence in the security industry extends far beyond his role with Salman Khan, showcasing his professionalism and dedication to ensuring the safety of high-profile personalities. His contributions have made him a trusted figure, and his loss is deeply felt by both his family and the celebrity world.
Salman’s support during this difficult time reflects the strong bond between the two men, who have worked side-by-side for many years. The warmth and empathy shown by Salman during the grieving process further cements the mutual respect and affection that defines their relationship.
As the industry and fans rally behind Shera, it is clear that this loss is not just personal for him but also for those who have witnessed the enduring bond of loyalty and friendship between Shera and Salman Khan.
