Aayush Sharma Receives Threat Via Email
Aayush, who is married to Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan, was sent the message via email, reportedly from someone claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. In the wake of multiple celebrities receiving death threats and security scares, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has written to CM Devendra Fadnavis, seeking an urgent appointment to discuss the matter. “The prevailing environment of fear is beginning to affect shooting schedules, production planning, and overall morale within the industry,” FWICE wrote, mentioning that uncertainty is now hindering routine functioning across sets and studios. It added, “We firmly believe that under your able leadership and guidance, effective measures can be undertaken to address these concerns promptly and decisively,” seeking an opportunity to discuss the matter in detail and urge the government's intervention to safeguard the entertainment fraternity.
