On Sunday, Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was returning after playing football when three gunmen opened fire at his car. The incident sparked concerns about celebrity safety in Mumbai. Several actors, including Ram Gopal Varma, Vidyut Jammwal, Suniel Shetty and Rakesh Bedi, expressed concern and called for action against those responsible. In a recent conversation with ANI, Manoj Bajpayee and Divya Dutta also reacted to the incident, describing it as sad and scary.
I just hope the investigation wraps up as soon as possible, and that an example is set so that next time, anyone will think twice before doing something like this. Because of his association with actor Salman Khan, a social media post attributed to individuals linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack and alleged that Tiger had been targeted. It’s sad what happened to Tiger, but the best and the happiest part is that he’s safe, and his driver is also recovering slowly. We aren’t law and order experts or anything. Manoj expressed hope that the authorities would ensure those responsible faced consequences. The alleged suspects have been brought to Mumbai, and they’ve been arrested too. “Unfortunately, hearing it sends a wave of ‘what happened?’ everywhere. We all just want a normal sort of safety. Everyone needs that basic to survive, and it’s really important. When it shakes like that, it absolutely shakes you up, but I’m sure the authorities are looking into it, and Tiger is safe. Following the incident, Tiger’s father, actor Jackie Shroff, assured the media that his son was safe. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also visited Tiger at his residence, where the actor was seen with bandages on his chest and arm. Tiger suffered minor injuries, was examined and was subsequently discharged.
Manoj Bajpayee said he did not view the incident as a gang war but admitted that the uncertainty surrounding such attacks was frightening. He said, “I don’t see a gang war, but shots are being fired from who knows where—that’s really scary. He said, “From what I’ve heard in the news, the investigation is ongoing. Yeah, God bless,” she said.
