Tiger Shroff was leaving Pushpa Park in Mumbai’s Juhu on Sunday evening, October 18, after a football game with actor friends, when three unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire at his car. The actor escaped gunshot wounds, but he injured his right arm while switching seats with his driver and taking the chauffeur for medical attention after the driver was shot. The driver and an autorickshaw driver were reportedly injured.
Family and friends move quickly
As news of the attack spread, Tiger’s parents kept their updates short and reassuring. Jackie Shroff’s team said, “Tiger is okay. Thank you so much.” Ayesha Shroff gave a thumbs-up and added, “God is great.”
Tiger’s sister Krishna Shroff appeared before the media as she reached home but avoided any interaction, looking disturbed. Disha Patani, previously linked to Tiger, was among the first to visit his residence, appearing visibly shaken. Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar also stopped by and was seen speaking to a police officer before leaving.
Public figures rarely get privacy after an incident like this. Krishna’s silent walk past cameras and Disha’s visibly shaken arrival showed how the shock travelled through Tiger’s circle. The presence of a top filmmaker and senior politicians within hours also signalled how seriously the industry and the state are treating the attack.
Official response and investigation
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the Shroff residence and assured the family that strict action will be taken. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis spoke with Tiger over the phone and promised that the accused would be traced and apprehended at the earliest.
DCP Mohit Garg said 15 teams have been formed to nab the accused, and the investigation is underway. Bollywood Bubble’s related coverage carries a report that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the attack. The family has not issued a lengthy statement, but the short updates have been enough to reassure fans.
