Popular faces of Indian television like Shailesh Lodha and Maniesh Paul also attended the ceremony.
Despite Salman’s elaborate security, his safety was compromised on December 4, Wednesday, after a man entered the venue in Matunga, Mumbai, where the actor was shooting for his upcoming project and threatened his team using jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s name.
“Bishnoi ko bheju kya?” the man threatened, sending the actor’s security team into a tizzy.
While Salman has not explicitly addressed the constant threats to his life from the Bishnoi gang yet, he was spotted at the oath-taking ceremony of Fadnavis.
Devendra Fadnavis will be sworn-in as the new Chief Minister of Maharashtra at a grand ceremony to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other dignitaries.
Nationalist Congress Party chief Ajit Pawar and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde are expected to take oath as Deputy Chief Ministers.
Ahead of the oath-taking ceremony, Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Devendra Fadnavis, remarked, “It is a beautiful day as Devendra ji becomes an MLA for the sixth time and takes on the Chief Minister’s role for the third time. We are happy, but the sense of responsibility is even greater.”
The Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024 resulted in a decisive victory for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, securing a landslide win with 235 seats. This marked a significant milestone for the BJP, which emerged as the single-largest party with 132 seats.

Arjun Kapoor & Mudassar Aziz Injured After Ceiling Collapses On Mere Husband Ki Biwi Set In Mumbai, Crew Member Suffers Spinal Injury
Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar were recently filming for a song for their upcoming film Mere Husband Ki Biwi at Imperial Palace, Royal Palms in Mumbai, when the ceiling collapsed, leaving Arjun, producer Jackky Bhagnani, and director Mudassir Aziz injured.
Ashok Dubey from the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) spoke to ETimes, explaining that since the location had been there for a long time, the vibrations from the sound caused the set to tremble, which led to further portions falling off.
Ashok revealed that he injured his elbow and head, and that Mudassar was hurt, along with other crew members. The DOP, Manu Anand, fractured his thumb, while the camera attendant suffered a spinal injury. Expressing gratitude, he stated that no one was critically hurt, which was a blessing. Even our camera attendant injured his spine.
Further, Choreographer Vijay Ganguly, who worked on the song, stated that the first day of shooting went well; however, things took a drastic turn on the second day.
“We were on the monitor when suddenly the ceiling collapsed. Luckily, it fell in parts, and we had a trough to protect us. Had the entire ceiling fallen on us, it could have been disastrous, but many people still got hurt. These old locations are often used for shoots, and as production companies, we are sure that the safety measures are checked. However, many times, the safety of the location isn’t properly verified before it’s offered for shooting,” Ganguly shared.
Dubey said that they have written to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and the BMC to highlight the safety concerns.
“We have written to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and the BMC to highlight the safety concerns. We also raised the issue with the Fire Department, which confirmed that Chitrakoot’s structure has permission only for 90 days, yet it remains standing,” Dubey said.
