Salman Khan’s longtime bodyguard and trusted aide Shera is grieving the loss of his beloved father, Sunder Singh Jolly, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 88 after a prolonged battle with cancer. The news has prompted an outpouring of condolences from across the film industry and fans alike, many of whom have admired Shera's years of unwavering loyalty and service to the Bollywood superstar.
Shera shared the news through an official statement, saying: “My father, Shri Sundar Singh Jolly, passed away today. His final journey will commence at 4 pm from my residence: 1902, The Park Luxury Residence, near Lokhandwala Back Road, Oshiwara, Andheri West, Mumbai.”
The statement has struck an emotional chord with those familiar with Shera’s deep bond with his father. Just four months ago, Shera had posted a touching tribute for his father’s 88th birthday, writing: “Happy 88th birthday to the strongest man, my God, my father, my inspiration! Every bit of strength in me comes from you. Love you dad always!”
The post featured heartwarming photos of the duo and highlighted the profound admiration Shera held for his father.
Shera, whose real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly, is much more than just a bodyguard. He is a key figure in Salman Khan’s inner circle and has been at the superstar’s side for nearly three decades. He also heads Tiger Security, a high-profile security agency that has served numerous Bollywood celebrities, including Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, as well as international stars like Justin Bieber and Mike Tyson during their visits to India.
As condolences continue to pour in, Shera’s fans and well-wishers are standing in solidarity with him during this personal loss, honoring not just the memory of Sunder Singh Jolly, but also the values of strength and dedication that he clearly passed on to his son.
