The 2024, for the entertainment industry, was the year that stirred drama, sparked debates, and was nothing short of a full-edged Bollywood Im that had the highest highs, lowest lows, and breaks only long enough for you to grab (un-sweetened) popcorn.
So, the year nears its end, it is time to look back at all that rocked the lm industry and its fans this year.
THREATS, MURDER, AND CHASE
In this Sunday, July 21, 2013 le photo, then Congress leader Baba Siddique with actors Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan during an Iftar party, in Mumbai.
The Bhai and Badshah of Bollywood can only hope for a better 2025 after a tumultuous year full of death threats.
Salman Khan seemed to be on the Lawrence Boshnoi gang's radar. The actor not only received threats but there was also a shooting outside his house. Meanwhile, the accused behind the threat received by Shah Rukh Khan was arrested.
The year also witnessed the demise of politician Baba Siddique. A politician who allegedly died in the hands of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Siddique was reportedly the reason behind the patch-up between Salman and SRK at his annual iftar party in 2013.
