Baba was known for throwing star-studded Iftar parties every Ramzan in Mumbai. These parties were often attended by the elite in Bollywood, with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt and others being regulars every year. Baba’s 2013 Iftar party also saw a crucial moment when Salman and Shah Rukh buried the hatchet and hugged it out after feuding for years after sparring at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party in 2008.

According to ANI, Baba succumbed to bullet injuries on October 12 after being shot by unidentified assailants. Mumbai Additional CP Paramjit Singh Dahiya told reporters, “The incident occurred around 9:30 pm in Nirmal Nagar. Baba Siddique was taken to Lilavati Hospital after being shot. Two suspects have been arrested, and the Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating the case.”
