Bollywood superstar Salman Khan became emotional while remembering his late friend Baba Siddiqui during a live episode of the reality show Bigg Boss. The incident occurred as Salman was filming the latest episode, which was affected by Siddiqui's tragic death.

Baba Siddiqui was assassinated in attack on October 12. Upon learning the news, Khan abruptly halted the shoot and left the set. During this week’s episode, he struggled to conceal his grief over the loss of his close friend, with tears visible in his eyes. Speculations had previously arisen regarding Khan's absence from the show following threats on his life from the Bishnoi gang, leading many to believe he might not host Bigg Boss for a few weeks. While addressing the show's contestants, Khan expressed his reluctance to meet anyone during the filming of the episode, stating, "I didn't want to meet anyone, and I didn't even want to come to the set." He further added, "I didn't feel like meeting any of you today, but work is work, and we have to keep going."
