It is also said that when Sanjay Dutt was trapped in Arms Act, Baba Siddiqui personally stood with him in that hour of trouble. Apart from this, when Sanjay’s sister Priya Dutt entered politics, he also helped her a lot. This is the reason why Sanjay Dutt was among the first to reach the hospital as soon as he got information about the murder of the NCP leader.
Priya Dutt also went to Lilavati Hospital to see Baba Siddiqui. She wrote on the social media platform X, “I am shocked to hear the news of Baba Siddiqui’s tragic death. Baba was not just a political ally, but he was a member of my family. Baba Siddiqui was like a son to my father and for me he was a brother and a dear friend.”
She further wrote that “He always stood by my father during his political journey and even after that. When I entered politics, he guided me during its ups and downs and gave his unwavering support. His departure is like the departure of a family member. My heart is sad for Bhabhi, Zeeshan and Arshiya. May God give them the strength to bear this immense sorrow. May his soul rest in peace.”
Apart from the Dutt family, Siddiqui also had a good friendship with Salman and Shahrukh Khan. Baba Siddiqui played an important role in ending the feud between the two for many years.
Actually, there was a time in Bollywood in the year 2008, when a wall of enmity was erected between Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan. There was a heated argument between the two superstars at actress Katrina Kaif’s birthday party, after which both the superstars of Hindi cinema did not even like to see each other.
Baba Siddiqui used to organize Iftar party every year on Eid in which artists from TV, politics, sports, films used to participate. Salman and Shahrukh also used to attend this party every year.

Baba Siddiqui played an important role behind this. Baba Siddiqui took both the stars with him to the party for a talk and ended their years-old enmity.
