Following the tragic murder of political leader Baba Siddique earlier this month, his son Zeeshan Siddique has shared that Salman Khan has been a constant source of support for the family.
Known for his close relationship with Baba, Salman was one of the first to arrive at the hospital to support the Siddique family and was also present at the funeral. In a recent interview, Zeeshan expressed gratitude for Salman’s unwavering presence during this challenging time, noting that the actor has been checking in on him every night to provide comfort and support.
“Salman bhai was very upset after Baba Siddique’s murder. Dad and Salman bhai were close like real brothers. After dad’s death, bhai supported a lot. He always checks in on me, every night, he talks to me about being sleepless and all, his support is always there,” Zeeshan shared.
In addition to Salman, other stars, including Shilpa Shetty and Sanjay Dutt, came forward to extend their condolences to the Siddique family. Zeeshan mentioned that these stars feel like family rather than celebrities. “I don’t consider my dad’s friends as celebrities because people who come home, who are friends of your father and are friends with the family, they are like members of the family,” he said. Shilpa Shetty, visibly moved by the loss, was seen breaking down at the gathering, reflecting the depth of the connections Baba Siddique had within the film industry.
This outpouring of support from Bollywood exemplifies the enduring bonds and deep friendships Baba Siddique shared with industry figures, who have since rallied around the Siddique family.
