Salman Khan recently faced a serious security threat when gunmen from the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang targeted his home in Mumbai. Reflecting on a past event, Salman once encountered an intruder as a child who was breaking into his house. In an unusual turn of events, young Salman fed the hungry thief before contacting the police.
In a past interview on Preity Zinta’s show, Up Close & Personal with PZ, Salman recounted stories of unexpected visitors at his home, ranging from friends to complete strangers. One memorable story involved a novice thief who chose to raid the house during a banquet, only to be discovered and dealt with by Salman himself.
Recalling the incident, Salman Khan said, “One night, after a grand party, Arbaaz and I returned to our bedroom and went to sleep. Suddenly, I woke up to see a large shadow looming over us, moving around comically.”
He added, “I woke Arbaaz up, and told him to stay silent. Then, a man emerged from the shadow, and he didn’t look that big. He seemed to be dancing. I gestured to Arbaaz that at the count of three, we’d jump him. We managed to overpower him, and tied him up.”
The intruder, who was found with a stolen Walkman and just Rs 5, confessed that it was his first robbery. Observing that the thief was hungry, Salman decided to offer him some food. When his mother entered and inquired about the situation, Salman explained that he was simply trying to be kind.
He recalled, “By then, my mother had come, and she was like, ‘Who is this man?’ I told her that he’s a thief, and she was like, ‘Why are you feeding him?’”
Salman said he told the thief he would call the police after feeding him. “It was around 6 in the morning now, and just as we were going to take the thief to the police station, the thief suggested that instead of taking him there and being held up by all the paperwork, we should just tie him up outside.”
Salman concluded, “He asked us to tie a single knot on him, and just as the cops were coming, he managed to wiggle out of it and escape.”
