Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has admitted that heightened security due to threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has drastically altered his lifestyle, restricting his movements and daily routine.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday night, the 59-year-old actor expressed his frustration over the tight security arrangements, which have left him with little freedom. “I cannot do anything about it (security). Khallas. So I go from Galaxy (home) to shoot to Galaxy, no detours,” he said.

Known for his love of cycling around Mumbai, Khan was once frequently spotted on the streets without an entourage. However, after a series of serious threats, security around him has been significantly reinforced.

In April 2024, two men associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang fired shots outside his Galaxy Apartments residence. In response, authorities bolstered his security, installing bulletproof glass in his home and increasing surveillance with CCTV cameras monitoring the road outside. Two months later, Navi Mumbai Police uncovered a plot to attack the actor while he was traveling to his Panvel farmhouse.

Addressing concerns over his safety, Khan acknowledged the challenges but made it clear that his security team is simply doing their job. “You guys are sweet; that’s why they are sweet to you. I don't wish for them to be sweet with those people who are not sweet,” he remarked.

While his security detail ensures his protection, Khan admitted that the constant watch does make life difficult. “It’s not when I’m with the press, but when I’m without the press. This (security) cramps my style,” he said.

The actor made these comments ahead of the release of his upcoming film Sikander, which is set to hit theatres this Sunday.
