More often than not, a celebrity’s bodyguard also ends up making headlines along with the celebrity he’s protecting. The spotlight often shifts from the celebrity to the person responsible for keeping things at bay and protecting the star.
Over the years, many celebrity bodyguards have become the center of attention for various reasons, such as Salman Khan’s bodyguard, Shera, and more recently, Ram Charan’s bodyguard, Kevin Konta. Interestingly, they are not stand-alone examples. In fact, here’s a look at some of the bodyguards from the world of Bollywood who have managed to go viral like the people they protect.
