Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has added a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600 to his luxury car collection, prioritizing safety amid continuous death threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Priced at over ₹6 crore, this advanced vehicle is equipped with top-tier bulletproof technology, luxurious leather interiors, executive rear seating, a panoramic sunroof, a compact refrigerator, and a Burmester premium sound system. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds.
Salman’s security concerns have heightened since his father, Salim Khan, received a threatening note two years ago, followed by multiple threats and a shooting outside his Bandra residence in April 2024. The Bishnoi gang has been targeting Salman since the 1998 blackbuck poaching case, with recent investigations revealing that Salman topped their ‘kill list’. To ensure his safety, Salman now travels with a police escort and uses bulletproof cars, including this newly purchased Maybach, making him the first Bollywood star to own a bulletproof version of this model.
Despite his increased security, Salman remarked that it’s sometimes difficult to move around with so many people. A recent viral video showed him riding in the front seat of his new car, with fans commenting that its sleek black design suits his personality perfectly. For Salman, this purchase symbolizes both luxury and a necessary shield against ongoing threats to his life.
