India Prime | Entertainment Desk | Why Are Bollywood’s ‘Khans’ No Longer Safe? On May 21, 2025, a woman broke into Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai, claiming to be a fan. The woman was arrested by the police. What’s more worrying is that this was the second intrusion at his residence within just two days—raising serious concerns among fans and security experts about the safety of Bollywood’s top stars.
Security for Bollywood celebrities, once considered just a formality, has now become a serious matter of concern. The most alarming trend surrounds the “Khan trio” — Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan — who have all faced recent breaches and threats. Is superstardom becoming a dangerous affair?
