The somber atmosphere of grief and remembrance enveloped a recent prayer meet held for Sunder Singh Jolly, the father of Salman Khan's long-time bodyguard, Shera. Sunder Singh Jolly passed away on August 2nd after an extended battle with cancer at the age of 88. The prayer meeting, organized on August 10th at a Gurudwara in Mumbai, drew a number of Bollywood and television personalities who came to offer their condolences and support to Shera and his family.
Among those present was Mannara Chopra, the actress known for her appearance on Bigg Boss 17. She was seen at the Gurudwara, paying her respects to the departed and offering support to Shera during this difficult time.
The prayer meet was attended by several other prominent figures from the entertainment industry.

Daisy Shah, Maniesh Paul, Rahul Vaidya, and Mika Singh were also present, each offering their support and condolences. Salman Khan's sister, Alvira Agnihotri, was also present.
Shera, whose real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly, has been more than just a bodyguard to Salman Khan; their relationship has evolved into a strong bond of family since 1995. Salman Khan was among the first to visit Shera's residence after the news of his father's passing, offering his support and sharing an emotional embrace with Shera.
Shera had earlier confirmed the news of his father's death through a heartfelt post on social media, requesting everyone to keep his father in their prayers. He had also recently shared a picture from his father's 88th birthday, referring to him as his "hero" and "inspiration".
The presence of so many industry colleagues and friends at the prayer meet highlighted the deep personal connections that exist within the film fraternity. The event served as a reminder that beyond the glitz and glamour of the entertainment world, there are genuine relationships built on empathy and mutual respect.
