A video of Salman Khan’s Man Friday, Shera, making an appearance in the 2011 blockbuster ‘Bodyguard’ has gone viral on the subreddit BollyBlindsGossip. The clip was shared by a Reddit user along with the caption, “Just watched it now on Insta and find it cute!”

The video opens with a tantalising performance from Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ co-star Katrina Kaif. Shera is seen in a jovial mood beside the poker-faced Khan (who played the role of a rough and tough bodyguard named Lovely Singh) in the video.

The clip has gone viral on the subreddit, gaining more than 2.8K likes. “This was a heavily promoted bit and was used massively for creating buzz pre-release. And regarding Kitto, she pretty much overshadowed Kareena’s pre-release buzz for the film. By this small appearance. Kitto was all media was talking about. A similar thing happened in Agneepath. I felt honrah tha ki kitto heroine hai movie ki. Like, say, “Agneepath heroine”—the first name that comes in mind this day is Kitto…” Read one comment.

Who Exactly Is Shera?

Born Gurmeet Singh Jolly on May 19, 1969, Shera is more than just Salman Khan’s loyal protector—he’s a figure deeply embedded in the Bollywood security ecosystem. A former competitive bodybuilder, Shera clinched the Mumbai Junior Bodybuilding title in 1987 and came second in the Mr. Maharashtra Junior contest in 1988.

From Bodybuilding to Bollywood

Shera transitioned into the security field in the early 1990s, joining the team at Wizcraft International. His job involved safeguarding Bollywood celebrities at various high-profile events. In 1995, he first crossed paths with Salman Khan during a party for Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves. Following a chaotic incident during a show in Chandigarh, Sohail Khan—Salman’s younger brother—recruited Shera to serve as Salman’s permanent bodyguard. Since then, he has remained by Salman’s side, accompanying him on worldwide tours and managing his security at all times.

Beyond the Security Detail

Shera isn’t just confined to the shadows anymore. In 2017, he was entrusted with handling the security for global pop sensation Justin Bieber during his India tour. Moreover, in October 2019, Shera took a plunge into the political arena by joining the Shiv Sena, one of Maharashtra’s major political parties. Despite his evolving public profile, his unwavering loyalty to Salman Khan has remained a constant.

A Life of Luxury and Loyalty

In 2024, Shera made headlines again, not for his security duties or celebrity connections, but for splurging on a brand-new Range Rover Sport, priced at a jaw-dropping ₹1.4 crore. Though now an established personality in his own right, Shera continues to stand as a pillar of protection and loyalty in Salman Khan’s life.
