Bollywood Bodyguards Profiled

October 19, 2009 Bodyguards, Celebrity, International 6 Comments

Movies are a HUGE industry in India which means their Stars are in need of security to a degree almost equal to the US.  Ran across an interesting story below, a little awkward and sensational in some places but overall a nice profile on an emerging market:

“It’s a dream job for many men with muscle. But it’s not easy being a Bollywood bodyguard. The strongmen must protect their celebrities from overenthusiastic fans, lecherous louts and malicious stalkers. They also have to be sensitive to the celeb’s mood. Shadows of celebrities, they are privy to every little move their charges make. Bodyguards must also know the delicate art of keeping secrets”.

    Hello to all,
    I Read the Following“It’s a dream job for many men with muscle”.
    I say that is not right.
    Muscles is not knowledge/education/training in the security field. With muscles will not create a Complete Protection & Escape Plan. Muscles can not protect you against many kinds of Lethal Weapons and Non Lethal Weapons.Killers, Assassins, Terrorist use weapons, distance and intelligence.
    Please, do not confuse Physical Condition with muscles.
    Muscles does not make a Personal Protection Specialist Agent!!.
    If anyone does not agree then send me your explanation to discuss.
    Thanks
    George,
    Certified Anti-Terrorism Specialist Agent.

    Great point Georgios.

    Do you guys offer global protection for corporations? I’m hearing that more and more big companies are sending their “top brass” overseas with certified, trained bodyguards. Just thought it might be a good target market for you guys. Seems you are definitely one of the top in the industry. BTW- love your website. The pics are very high-end and look awesome!

    The reason you were not aware Eljah is because Sutton has only done that job once, and then he was there to make up the numbers,he has done a minimal amount of low rent CP and in england is currently being exposed as outrageous liar.steer clear of him and his lies. and ime sure chris will be chuffed he has named him on a open blog!
