Speculations and Online Comments
As the photo gained attention, several users began commenting about the connection between Shah Rukh Khan and the Bishnoi community. One user claimed, “This means he’s directly involved in Baba’s death,” referring to the ongoing feud, while another added, “Salman was the one who saved his career. He visited Salman’s son in jail and was the first to stand by him.”
Some users even raised questions about why SRK had skipped Baba Bishnoi’s funeral, suggesting he may not want to upset Lawrence Bishnoi. Another comment read, “Salman Khan stands firm, because when someone has no one, Salman will always be there.”
SRK’s Cautious Approach
Amid the intense online speculation, sources quoted by Times Now clarified that Shah Rukh Khan has intentionally stayed out of discussions surrounding Lawrence Bishnoi and the feud. He reportedly avoided attending Baba Bishnoi’s funeral due to the risks involved with the gang’s ongoing conflict.
A Brief History: Salman and SRK’s Friendship
Interestingly, the feud between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi has brought back memories of past Bollywood tensions, especially the infamous fight between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan at Katrina Kaif’s 25th birthday in 2008. The two didn’t speak for five years after that incident but eventually reconciled, with Salman greeting SRK at an Iftar party in 2013. Their public embrace created headlines and signified the end of their differences, marking a new chapter in their friendship.
As the feud between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi continues to heat up, social media users continue to speculate about the role of other Bollywood stars, including Shah Rukh Khan, amid the growing tensions.
