Shera on Vicky Kaushal-Salman Khan's IIFA video

When asked about the video from IIFA (International Indian Film Academy Awards) 2023 in which it was claimed that the Sikandar actor and his bodyguard pushed Vicky, Shera said, “Push nahi kya humne. Main nahi tha wo. Humare saath dusra ladka aaya tha lekin uska aisa kuchh tha nahi. Actually interaction bhi udhar hua Vicky ka aur Bhai ka. Waisa kuchh nahi tha. Khali ye tha ki banaya gaya tha (No, we didn't push Vicky. I wasn't the person involved. There was another bodyguard with us who was seen in the video, but he didn't push Vicky either. In fact, Vicky and Salman Bhai even interacted at the event. It was not what it seemed to be; it was fabricated.). There was nothing like that. Vicky is a good friend of Salman Bhai.”
