A new wave of tension has gripped Bollywood after NCP leader Baba Siddiqui was tragically shot dead in Mumbai on Saturday night. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, notorious for their previous threats against Bollywood actor Salman Khan, is suspected to be behind the murder. Baba Siddiqui was known to be closely associated with Salman, prompting heightened security outside the actor's residence, Galaxy Apartments.
As the investigation unfolds, an old video of actress Rakhi Sawant has resurfaced online, rapidly gaining traction amidst the controversy. The video dates back to April, shortly after a shooting incident outside Salman's house. Lawrence Bishnoi's brother had claimed responsibility for the firing, which sparked widespread concern for the actor's safety.
Rakhi Sawant’s Emotional Plea to Bishnoi Gang
In the resurfaced video, Rakhi Sawant, known for her dramatic public appearances, is seen emotionally pleading with folded hands, urging the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to spare Salman Khan. Her tearful plea, marked by raw emotion, resonated with many fans. In the video, she can be heard saying:
"Don’t do this to my brother. Please, I fold my hands. I plead. He is a legend, he has saved many people's homes. Bishnoi group, what will you gain by doing this? Salman is my brother, leave him alone."
Sawant’s video touched many as she repeatedly called herself Salman's sister, displaying her heartfelt concern for the actor’s safety.
Rakhi Apologizes on Behalf of Salman Khan
Another video of Rakhi Sawant, known for her role in Main Hoon Na, is also circulating online. In this video, Rakhi is seen apologizing to the Bishnoi community on Salman Khan's behalf. She says:
"Please, I apologize on behalf of my Salman brother. Forgive me, brother. But do not target my brother Salman. Please spare him."
While the date of this particular video remains unclear, its timing amid the current controversy has sparked conversations online, with fans sharing mixed reactions.
BJP Leader’s Advice to Salman Khan
The resurfacing of Rakhi Sawant's emotional videos coincides with a recent statement by BJP leader and former MP Harnath Singh Yadav, who advised Salman Khan to apologize to the Bishnoi community. Yadav referenced the blackbuck poaching case, in which Salman Khan was convicted for killing the sacred animal, a deity to the Bishnoi community.
The BJP leader stated
"Dear Salman, the Bishnoi community considers the blackbuck a deity. If you hunted it and hurt their sentiments, then apologize. Humans make mistakes, and you are a big actor. You should respect their feelings and apologize for your mistake."
