Shera Biography
Gurmeet Singh Jolly, popularly known as Shera, is an Indian celebrity bodyguard and entrepreneur best known as the long-time personal security chief for A‑
Early life and backgroundGurmeet Singh Jolly was born on 19 May 1969 in Andheri, Mumbai, and grew up in the city he still calls home. He attended Sheth Chunilal Damodardas Barfivala High School and later enrolled at Bhavan’s College, though his formal education stopped after class 11. From a young age he was drawn to weightlifting, motorcycles and cars, interests that shaped his later career and public image.
Career
Shera began his working life helping in his father’s garage before moving into competitive bodybuilding. He won the Mr Mumbai junior title in 1987 and placed second in the Mr Maharashtra junior contest in 1988. In the early 1990s he transitioned into security work and joined the teams that protected national and international performers. His early security assignments included working with high‑profile artists and athletes on tours and events.
A key turning point came in the mid‑1990s when Shera first encountered Salman Khan while part of an event security detail. That professional relationship grew over time, and Shera became known as Salman Khan’s personal bodyguard. He describes the bond with Khan in deeply loyal terms and has been responsible for advance security checks and close protection at shoots, public appearances and court proceedings. Shera’s visibility increased further when Salman Khan’s 2011 film Bodyguard acknowledged him—the movie included Shera in promotional imagery and featured the logo of Shera’s own security firm.
In October 1996 Shera founded Tiger Security Services, naming the company after his son. The company provides protection services for national and international clients. Over the years Shera’s work expanded to include guarding visiting artists; in 2022 he managed security for Justin Bieber during the singer’s India concerts.
Awards and recognition have followed his career in security. Among honours listed are awards for best celebrity bodyguard and recognitions such as an Arogya Ratna Award and regional industry prizes that acknowledge his contribution to the field.
Public profile
Shera is a familiar figure in Indian media due to his association with Salman Khan and his public appearances at events and stage shows. He maintains a public persona that combines fitness, adventure interests and devotion to his employer; he has said he is willing to put himself between potential threats and the person he protects. His physical presence—about 183 cm tall and around 85 kg—has been part of his professional identity since his bodybuilding days.
Personal life
Shera is married and has a son, Tiger (also known as Abir Siingh), who has worked as an actor and assistant director. His parents are Nandjee Singh (also called Sunder Singh Jolly), who ran an automobile shop, and Pritam Kaur Jolly. In 2025 his father died of cancer at the age of 88. Shera follows Sikhism and has described changes to his appearance over the years related to the practical demands of his job. He occasionally consumes alcohol, enjoys horse riding and adventure sports, and keeps a pet dog named Tequila that has participated in dog shows.
Shera has owned a range of vehicles including a Harley‑Davidson VRSC and a Thar, and later added a Land Rover Range Rover Sport to his collection. He follows a regular workout regimen to maintain fitness necessary for his line of work.
Controversies
A notable legal incident occurred in October 2016 when a police complaint was filed alleging assault. Shera denied the allegations and said he had been attacked by a group. According to available records, he was ultimately proven innocent in that case.
Public life and affiliations
Shera has been involved in public and political events; in October 2019 he made a formal entry into the Shiv Sena political party at a public event. He has also been invited as a chief guest at numerous public functions and participates in charitable and spiritual visits to temples and gurudwaras.
Latest updates
