According to a source from India Today Digital, Salman stayed in his private chalet on-site, prioritizing his safety before starting the scheduled shoot on Friday.
Salman began filming for Bigg Boss 18 around 7 pm on October 18, which was delayed by nearly three hours compared to his usual 4 pm start time.

Salman Khan Resumes Bigg Boss 18 Shoot Amid Tight Security
Despite facing new threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is not letting fear stop him from working. He has returned to his hosting role on the popular reality show Bigg Boss 18, and the production team has significantly increased security measures to keep him safe.
According to reports from India Today, Salman shot an episode of Bigg Boss 18 late on Thursday night. He arrived at the set with a strong security presence. To ensure his safety, Salman stayed in a private chalet located within the show’s premises, preparing for his scheduled filming on Friday.
Salman’s filming schedule will continue without interruption, even with the increased security concerns. His team is collaborating closely with the production staff and channel officials to carefully plan and manage his movements while he is on set. This coordinated effort aims to provide Salman with a secure environment so he can focus on his role as the host.
To ensure everyone’s safety, several strict security measures have been implemented at the Bigg Boss 18 set. Over 60 security personnel have been deployed to monitor the area and protect the crew and guests. Access to the compound has been limited, meaning only authorized individuals can enter.
Security guards are instructed to check the Aadhar cards of anyone trying to enter, which helps verify their identity and prevent unauthorized access.
Additionally, the Bigg Boss 18 crew has been told to stay on-site until the filming is complete. This ensures that everyone is accounted for and can maintain a secure environment while Salman shoots the weekend special episodes, known as Weekend Ka Vaar.

Fresh Threats Against Salman Khan
Reports have emerged of a threatening message sent to a WhatsApp number used by the Mumbai Traffic Police, demanding ₹5 crore from actor Salman Khan. The message warns that if Salman Khan wishes to survive and resolve his issues with Lawrence Bishnoi, he must pay the amount.
It ominously adds that failure to comply will lead to a fate worse than that of Baba Siddique, as reported by ANI. The Mumbai Police have initiated an investigation into the threat.
This follows the tragic murder of Baba Siddique (66), who was shot dead last week in the Nirmal Nagar area of Mumbai, near his son Zeeshan Siddique’s office. He was taken to Lilavati Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, and laid to rest on Sunday. The shooters claimed affiliation with the Bishnoi gang, led by Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently imprisoned in Sabarmati Jail, Gujarat.
Salman Khan is reportedly on Lawrence Bishnoi’s “hit list,” which also includes several comedians, politicians, and rival gang members.
