In a recent development concerning the safety of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, director Prem Soni, who is also a neighbor of Khan's and has worked with him on the film 'Main Aurr Mrs Khanna,' provided an update on the situation following an alarming incident outside Khan's Mumbai residence, Galaxy Apartments.
Two gunmen reportedly opened fire outside Salman Khan's residence, sparking shock and concern among his fans and the wider community. However, Prem Soni assured the public that despite not having directly communicated with Khan post the incident, the actor is 'absolutely fine.' Soni emphasized that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure Khan's safety and that there is no cause for alarm.
Residing in the same building as Salman Khan, Prem Soni acknowledged the worrying nature of the situation but reassured everyone that authorities are actively addressing the issue and that they are all safe.
The incident, which occurred around 5 am on April 14, 2024, saw two assailants on a motorcycle firing four rounds near Khan's residence, with one bullet hitting the building's wall.
