In an interview with Times Now, Shatrughan Sinha said that Salman Khan, his father Salim Khan and other family members are close to his heart.
Talking about the time he got to know about this incident, Sinha added, "When I heard of the incident on Sunday morning, my primary concern was the safety of the family. Salim saab and Salman are among the prides of our film industry. We, as one fraternity should come forward to condemn such a dastardly, cowardly act."
He further recalled the 2000 assassination attempt on filmmaker and producer Rakesh Roshan. Sinha added that everyone thought the days of "criminal elements trying to intimidate the film industry" were over.
