The one person who is always around Salman Khan and is also aware of his every little movement. He is a man who can die for the actor as well; he is none other than Salman’s bodyguard Shera who has been the actor’s right-hand man for more than 20 years. Shera also expressed that he will accompany Salman Khan till his last breath. The strong bond that Shera and Salman's share is no secret. The actor had even dedicated his 2011 film, ‘Bodyguard’, to him, something that Shera is eternally grateful about.

Shera said, “Jab tak zinda hoon, bhai ke saath rahunga (I’ll accompany him till my last breath). I always tell people that they will never see me standing behind or next to bhai. I will be standing in front of him, looking out for any threat.”

He also said that he wouldn’t have taken up this profession if there was any fear, “If there would be any fear, why would I take up this profession?”

When asked how he manages the female fans Shera said, “With love and respect. That is the only way to take of the ladies.” He thanks Salman for all the support. “Bhai has been family for so many years. He has seen me doing my business, and he is always there for me.”

Recalling an incident while travelling with Justin Bieber, “We went to Gateway of India (in Mumbai) in the night, and to the slums the next day, the ones near Shivaji Nagar. Next time, I wanted to take him in a helicopter but he insisted on travelling in my car. He was using my car. He wanted to have coffee in a mall and he got down on Vashi road, to go to a mall. He went to a coffee shop, and by the time he reached there, everything went haywire and people started gathering. Before panic could take over, I had to pull him back in the van and immediately book a room in a nearby hotel for his safety.”

Shera concluded by saying, “I keep in mind the whole purpose behind security and the training I give to the personnel. I had gone to Germany and Poland to tie up with the companies for a security system. It is all about providing better services. I travel around to keep comparing how their organisations work and how I can improve mine to bring forth the best.”
