Bollywood actor Ayush Sharma, brother-in-law of superstar Salman Khan, has reportedly received a threatening email, sparking fresh concerns within the film industry.

According to Indian media reports, the email was sent to Sharma — husband of Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan — and claimed to be from an individual associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

The threat has heightened anxiety among Bollywood celebrities, especially after actor Ranveer Singh allegedly received a threatening WhatsApp voice message a day earlier, in which a large sum of money was demanded.

Mumbai Crime Branch officials confirmed that Ayush Sharma received the threatening email via Proton Mail. Police have launched an investigation to trace the sender and determine the motive behind the threat. Authorities are also examining whether the email originated from within India or abroad.

Earlier, Ranveer Singh — currently starring in Dhurandhar — reportedly received a voice message demanding millions of rupees, prompting heightened security measures outside his residence.

Salman Khan once offered to work for free for Rajesh Khanna

January 2, 2026 by Newsdesk

Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan had once offered to work without remuneration in a film starring legendary actor Rajesh Khanna in an attempt to purchase Khanna’s iconic bungalow, Aashirwad, Indian media reports have revealed.

According to reports, during a difficult phase in Rajesh Khanna’s life marked by severe financial troubles, Salman Khan approached him with an offer to buy the famous bungalow and additionally proposed to act for free in one of Khanna’s films.

However, Rajesh Khanna reportedly doubted Salman’s intentions, rejected the offer, and accused him of attempting to financially and socially undermine him.

Rajesh Khanna had purchased Aashirwad in the early 1970s from actor Rajendra Kumar for Rs 350,000. Khanna believed that selling the house would weaken his standing, both financially and socially.

Author Gautam Chintamani, in his book Dark Star: The Loneliness of Being Rajesh Khanna, writes that after moving into Aashirwad, Khanna lived with a regal aura, often holding court while seated on a high chair, wearing his signature silk lungi and kurta. Only a select few were allowed access to the inner areas of the house, while close associates enjoyed long late-night gatherings marked by excessive admiration.

The book also notes that Khanna did not tolerate opinions that went against his temperament and would often ask people to leave his home. As his stardom faded, Amitabh Bachchan rose to prominence with films such as Zanjeer, Sholay, and Deewar, replacing Khanna as Bollywood’s leading star.

According to Chintamani, Salman Khan later made multiple attractive offers to purchase the bungalow—allegedly on behalf of his brother Sohail Khan—including assurances to settle outstanding income tax dues and again offering to work without charge. Despite these efforts, Rajesh Khanna refused to sell the property and lived there in isolation until his death.

After Khanna’s passing, the bungalow was eventually sold, demolished, and replaced with a high-rise building, marking the end of one of Bollywood’s most iconic residences.
