Baba Siddique Murder Case: Shah Rukh Khan, despite his close bond with Baba Siddique, chose to avoid attending the politician’s funeral. While the actor had previously attended other public funerals, including a photographer’s prayer meet and Farah Khan’s mother’s funeral, he decided to skip Siddique’s funeral to protect himself from being drawn into any potential political debates surrounding the case.
Shah Rukh Khan’s team was contacted multiple times by the media, as well as close friends of both SRK and Baba Siddique, but they chose not to comment on the situation. The actor has remained silent and distanced himself from the matter, given the nature of the case as a murder investigation. Shah Rukh is reportedly keen on avoiding any association with the controversy and doesn’t want his name to be involved in the ongoing debates.
A source revealed, “Shah Rukh Khan wants to distance himself from the politician’s murder case. With connections to Salman Khan, King Khan prefers to stay away from the controversy. Given Lawrence Bishnoi’s network, Shah Rukh doesn’t want to risk any further threats to his safety. For this reason, he has chosen to ‘disappear’ from the entire matter by skipping Baba Siddique’s funeral, despite their close friendship.”
