Salman Khan has made his first public comments following the murder of his friend, Baba Siddique. Siddique, a prominent former Maharashtra minister, was assassinated in Mumbai. Khan continues his hosting duties on 'Bigg Boss 18' amid personal challenges, addressing threats and accusations surrounding him.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has broken his silence following the tragic murder of his close friend, Baba Siddique. The former Maharashtra minister, famous for his connections with Bollywood stars and his glittering iftar parties, was shot on October 12 outside his son's office in Mumbai.

Despite the personal turmoil, Khan continues to fulfill his role as the host of 'Bigg Boss 18'. During the 'Weekend ka Vaar' episode, Khan expressed his reluctance to appear on the show amidst mounting personal challenges. 'I shouldn't have come here today. But you have to do what you have to do,' he remarked.

Earlier, Siddique's proximity to Khan put him in the crosshairs of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who police suspect may have been behind the murder. Meanwhile, Salman Khan faces ongoing threats, including a recent extortion demand sent to Mumbai's traffic police. The Crime Branch is conducting a probe into these threats.
