Known to the world by his fierce moniker “Shera,” Gurmeet Singh Jolly has been Salman Khan’s shadow and shield since 1995. A towering presence at the actor’s side for nearly three decades, Shera’s reputation extends far beyond Bollywood. He runs Tiger Security, a celebrity protection firm that even handled pop icon Justin Bieber’s security during his 2017 India tour.

But Shera’s story didn’t begin in the world of celebrity protection. In the late 1980s, he was a decorated bodybuilder with accolades under his belt. His foray into security led him to Salman Khan’s inner circle in the early ’90s, a bond that has since turned into a lifelong vow. Shera once publicly declared he would protect Salman “till my last breath.”
