These accusations came after Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on 14 June 2020. ![]() • Harvey Weinstein of Bollywood: In March 2022, his ex-girlfriend Somy Ali shared a post on social media in which she termed Salman Khan as the 'Harvey Weinstein of Bollywood.' [25] In the post, Somy wrote, "The Harvey Weinstein of Bollywood! You will be exposed. The women you abused will come out one day and share their truth. Just like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan." In November 2022, Somy Ali shared a post on social media in which she made serious allegations against Salman Khan including domestic abuse and sodomy. In the post, she wrote, “More to come! Ban my show in India then threaten me with a lawsuit, you coward piece of shit. Screw your lawyer! I have 50 lawyers here to protect me from the cigarette burns, the physical abuse and the sodomy which you put me through and it lasted for years… So go f*ckkkk yourself. You male chauvinistic pig.

Pandey alleged that the actor did show after some media persons started clicking his photos, and the actor entered into an argument and threatened him. • Death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi gang: Reportedly, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has tried to kill the actor multiple times as they want to punish the actor for hunting blackbuck deer & chinkara (endangered animals). According to sources, in June 2022, while the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala was being investigated, the actor was nearly killed by a sharpshooter outside his home. Reportedly, Lawrence Bishnoi planned to kill Salman Khan when he goes on his bicycle ride in the morning during which the actor doesn't keep any security personnel with him; however, the plan was aborted as on D-Day, when the sharpshooters were about to carry out their plan, an escort of Mumbai Police engaged with the actor when he was about to leave.

Hema said that although Salman Khan was not present when his security officers manhandled her, it happened in his vicinity, and he could have intervened to avoid this. • Death threats during Bigg Boss OTT 2: In July 2023, he received death threats, supposedly from Goldy Brar, after Salman lost his cool over Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant Elvish Yadav's offensive remarks directed at fellow contestants Bebika Dhurve and Jiya Shankar following which the Mumbai police enhanced his security. |
