Mumbai: Gurmeet Singh Jolly, better known as Shera, is mourning the loss of his father, who died after a battle with cancer. Shera, known as Salman Khan’s longtime bodyguard, had celebrated his father’s 88th birthday just four months ago. The passing has left Shera and his family heartbroken.
A Quiet and Private Battle with Cancer
Shera’s father had been fighting cancer for several months. The family kept his condition private. They focused on his care and tried to keep him comfortable. Despite his illness, he remained cheerful during his birthday celebration earlier this year. The event was small and filled with close family and heartfelt moments. Many didn’t realize it would be one of his final celebrations.
A Deep Personal Loss for Shera
Shera has always been close to his father. He has spoken often about the values his father taught him—discipline, respect, and honesty. These lessons shaped Shera’s character and career. From running a security agency to becoming one of Bollywood’s most trusted bodyguards, Shera credits much of his success to his father’s guidance.
The loss has deeply affected him. Friends say he is taking time off to grieve and be with his loved ones. The funeral took place quietly in Mumbai. Only close family and friends attended.
Salman Khan Offers Support
Salman Khan, who shares a strong bond with Shera, was one of the first to offer support. Their relationship goes beyond work—they are more like brothers. Salman has praised Shera many times for his loyalty and protection over the years.
He visited Shera’s home to pay his respects. A source close to the actor said Salman treats Shera’s family as his own. He assured them of his support during this difficult time.
Support from the Film Industry
Shera isn’t a celebrity, but many in the film industry respect him. Over the years, he has built strong relationships through his loyalty and professionalism. After news of his father’s passing spread, several actors and film crew members offered condolences.
Salman’s brothers, Sohail and Arbaaz Khan, also reached out to Shera. A few others from their inner circle reportedly attended the last rites. Though Shera hasn’t made any public statements, those close to him say he is grieving quietly.
A Life of Simplicity and Strong Values
Shera’s father led a humble life. He wasn’t part of the spotlight, but he had a strong presence in his family. He raised his children with care and taught them to live with honesty and dignity. Those who knew him describe him as warm, respectful, and proud of his family.
Even in his old age, he remained grounded and kept strong ties with his children and grandchildren. He left behind a legacy of love and resilience that his family will carry forward.
Choosing to Grieve in Silence
In today’s world of public posts and online tributes, Shera has chosen a quieter path. He hasn’t shared anything on social media. He prefers to deal with grief privately, away from the public eye.
Friends say that Shera is someone who feels deeply but speaks less. His silence shows the weight of his loss more than any words could.
A Moment to Reflect on the Man Behind the Guard
For most people, Shera is known as the strong figure always seen near Salman Khan. But behind that strength is a man who has just lost his father. This moment shows his human side—one of love, loss, and vulnerability.
Friends, fans, and well-wishers are sending prayers and support his way. The passing of a parent is one of life’s deepest sorrows. For Shera, this is a time to step back from his protective role and simply be a son mourning a great loss.
As the days pass, memories of his father will remain a source of strength. His quiet goodbye reminds us that even those who stand strong for others need time to heal.
May his father rest in peace. And may Shera and his family find comfort in the love they shared and the life he lived.
