In photos and videos going viral on social media, Salman Khan can be seen fighting back tears as he attended the funeral of close friend Kumod Raney. Many other members of the Khan family, including, Salma Khan, Helen, Sohail Khan, and Arpita Khan Sharma, were also seen paying their last respects to the family friend.

In one of the videos, Salman can be seen struggling to hold back his emotions during the funeral. After stepping out of the premises, the actor was also seen interacting with those in attendance, including Kumod’s grieving family.

A look at social media posts indicate that Kumod was married to Juggey Raney, a longtime friend of Salman. Over the years, she is believed to have shared a close bond with Salman and the Khan family. On the work front she was a Dubai-based entrepreneur and the founder of Reign Beauty Bar, a beauty and wellness venture in the city. She founded it in 2005.

Apart from this, the actor also has producer Dil Raju’s next project in the pipeline. The film also features Nayanthara, and it will go on the floors on April 19.
