A Pillar Lost: Shera’s Father Passes Away, Salman Khan Stands by His Side

In the world of glitz and glamour, where emotions are often hidden behind the dazzle of the camera, some bonds transcend fame and status. One such deeply rooted bond is that between Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and his long-time confidant and personal bodyguard Shera. Known not just as Salman’s protector but as a brother-like figure, Shera has stood by him for over three decades. Today, the man who always stood strong like a rock for Salman finds himself leaning on his ‘brother’ for strength.

On this somber day, Shera’s father, Mr. Sunder Singh Jolly, breathed his last after a prolonged battle with cancer. He passed away at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy of love, values, and memories that have shaped the life of the man who is known for his unwavering loyalty to Bollywood’s biggest star.

The End of an Era

Mr. Sunder Singh Jolly was more than just Shera’s father. He was a mentor, a guide, a source of strength—and for Shera, his anchor in life. Losing a parent is never easy, but losing one after watching them fight a long and painful battle makes the pain even more poignant.

Shera confirmed the heartbreaking news through an official statement, writing:

“My father, Shri Sunder Singh Jolly, has left for his heavenly abode today. His final journey will begin at 4:00 PM from our residence in Mumbai.”

The last rites were held at Oshiwara Crematorium in Mumbai later that evening, with close family and friends in attendance. As expected, Salman Khan stood firmly by Shera’s side, offering support not just as a public figure, but as family.

A Relationship Beyond Duty

Shera, whose real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly, has been more than a bodyguard to Salman Khan. His relationship with the superstar is one of absolute trust and deep brotherhood. Over the years, Shera has accompanied Salman at every public event, shoot, and international trip—becoming a permanent fixture in his life.

And now, when Shera is experiencing one of the most painful losses of his life, Salman is returning that same loyalty—proving once again that their bond isn’t transactional, but heartfelt.

The internet is flooded with condolences for Shera and his family, and especially praise for Salman’s unwavering presence during this deeply emotional moment.

A Quiet Battle with Cancer

According to sources close to the family, Mr. Jolly had been battling cancer for a long time. He had become bedridden over the last few months, and Shera was known to be devoted to his father’s care during this time.

Despite his professional commitments and demanding schedule, Shera never left his father’s side. From arranging top-tier medical treatment to personally overseeing his comfort, Shera did everything a son possibly could. His love for his father was evident not just in actions but in the rare glimpses he shared with fans online.

Only a few months ago, Shera had posted photos from his father’s 88th birthday celebration, an event that was full of joy, warmth, and family love. The celebration was heartfelt, and nobody could have imagined that it would be Mr. Jolly’s last birthday.

The Man Behind Shera

While Shera is well-known in the public eye for his tough exterior and commanding presence, it is his father’s influence that shaped the values of loyalty, integrity, and discipline that Shera is celebrated for. Sunder Singh Jolly was reportedly a man of quiet dignity, loved by his community and respected for his principles.

The legacy he leaves behind is not just in his son’s achievements, but in the character of the man Shera has become—respected, loyal, and deeply human despite his proximity to Bollywood’s larger-than-life world.

In many ways, Mr. Jolly’s passing marks the end of a personal era for Shera—one that was rooted in the safety and wisdom only a parent can provide.

Salman Khan: A Brother in Grief

Salman Khan, often seen as the epitome of strength and masculinity in Indian cinema, is also known for his deep personal loyalty and emotional sensitivity—especially toward those who have been with him through thick and thin.

Shera is not just a bodyguard to Salman; he’s family. Over the last thirty years, the two have weathered multiple storms together—legal issues, media controversies, public events that turned chaotic, and even personal setbacks. And through it all, Shera was Salman’s shadow.

Today, Salman is Shera’s pillar.

As Shera goes through this emotionally devastating phase, Salman has reportedly taken time out of his schedule to stand by his friend and offer him the same unwavering support that Shera has provided for years.

Tributes and Condolences

As news of Mr. Jolly’s death spread, tributes began pouring in from celebrities, fans, and industry insiders. Many took to social media to express their condolences and extend strength to Shera and his family.

Some of the notable messages included:

“Deepest condolences to Shera Bhai. May your father’s soul rest in peace. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.”

“A true father, a true son. You were there for him in every moment. Stay strong, Shera.”

“Salute to Shera for being a devoted son. And to Salman for being a true brother.”

Even those who didn’t know Mr. Jolly personally acknowledged the importance of grieving in private, something often difficult in the public eye.

The Last Goodbye

The last rites at Oshiwara crematorium were a solemn, emotionally charged affair. Family members, close friends, and select personalities from the industry attended the cremation, keeping the atmosphere respectful and private.

Shera was seen holding back tears as he performed the final rituals for his beloved father. The man who usually protects and manages security for a superstar was visibly vulnerable—a reminder that beneath his imposing figure lies a son grieving for his loss.

A Legacy Remembered

The loss of a parent is one of life’s most profound and universal experiences. For Shera, whose life revolves around protecting another man’s family, the loss of his own family’s foundation hits deeply.

But if anything, the lessons, love, and discipline instilled by Mr. Jolly will live on—not just in Shera’s memories but in the way he conducts his life, honors his relationships, and remains a beacon of loyalty and strength.

As the famous saying goes, “A father is a son’s first hero.” Mr. Sunder Singh Jolly was exactly that to Shera—and perhaps more.

Words of Strength and Prayer

On behalf of the entire entertainment fraternity, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Shera and his family. The loss is irreparable, but so is the love that remains. We pray for strength for Shera and peace for his father’s soul.

Moments like these remind us that no matter how famous or powerful one becomes, we are all united in grief, in family, and in the memories of those we love.

In Closing

This is more than just a piece of news. It is a heartfelt farewell to a man who shaped the life of someone we see every day standing silently behind Salman Khan, never seeking attention, never stepping into the limelight.

As Shera mourns his father, the world sees him not just as a bodyguard, but as a son—mourning the man who made him who he is today.

May Mr. Sunder Singh Jolly rest in peace. And may his son, Shera, find the strength to move forward with the same dignity, loyalty, and honor that his father surely passed on to him.
