Famous Celebrities Death Threats: Celebrities often live under the spotlight, where fame ceremoniously brings admiration but also unwelcome dangers. Over the years, stars have been on the receiving end of death threats, thereby forcing them to seek security and live under constant caution. Here are five eminent personalities who have faced those situations.
Such threats against Bollywood superstar Salman Khan have been made repeatedly by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang. He was said to have been targeted in connection with the 1998 blackbuck hunting case, as the Bishnoi community considers the animal sacred. After the recent emergence of letters and posts with online threats, police often stepped in to enhance his security.
Her extremely bold statements have garnered the actress Kangana Ranaut a long list of controversies in the past-and-death threats. From her remarks about political affairs to her courageous comments on the functioning of Bollywood, threats have come Kangana’s way from all ends: virtual as well as otherwise. The Indian government has conferred Y-category security to her.
Also, known as the “King of Bollywood,” he has faced death threats in the past, including extortion calls from underworld mobs during the 1990s and early 2000s. Giving threats to him then were reports pertaining to the disbursal of funding for the films made by the organized crime mafia, for which the Mumbai Police provided him safety.
Recently, Kapil Sharma, India’s most-loved comedian, gave an interview in which he stated that he had received threats from a gangster group. Reports said that calls and threats for extortion were made; the authorities consequently increased his security cover. The incident shines light on the fact that even entertainers who cross neither political nor controversial lines are not immune.
Disha Patani was most recently in a shocking incident when gunshots were fired outside her family residence in Bareilly. A gang claimed responsibility for the act as retaliation for comments made by her sister. An investigation is ongoing; security has been beefed up for the actress.
