Rohit, who has never spoken publicly about the attack at his home, indirectly addressed it during his recent appearance on Bigg Boss 20. The last two years have seen several firing incidents targeting major celebrities from the Hindi film industry, including Salman Khan, Rohit Shetty and, most recently, Tiger Shroff .
On the latest episode of Weekend Ka Vaar in Bigg Boss 20, Rohit replaced regular host Salman Khan for the hosting duties. On February 1, at least five rounds were fired at the first floor of Rohit Shetty’s residential building in Mumbai in the early hours of the day. Bigg Boss 20 host Salman Khan also saw assailants fire at his Bandra apartment last year. The firing took place at around 7 pm on October 18 in the Juhu area when Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club, according to Mumbai Police.
No injuries were reported, and Mumbai Police later arrested several accused in connection with the incident. The police investigation into the Tiger Shroff firing case has revealed that the hotel room in Andheri, where the three key accused allegedly stayed, has been sealed by the authorities. There, he pulled up contestants Scout OP, Asif and Yung DSA for repeatedly targeting Qazi Touqeer as a group. Drawing a parallel with real-life firing incidents involving film personalities, Rohit questioned the contestants’ attempts to portray themselves as gangsters inside the house. “Yahan humare ghar par goliyan chal rahi hain, tum kya gangster banke ghoom rahe ho? (There are firings happening at our houses. The actor has received several threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Recently, Tiger Shroff was also targeted in a firing incident. The accused allegedly opened fire at the actor’s car. Two people, including the actor’s driver, were injured but Tiger escaped unhurt.
Why are you roaming around pretending to be gangsters)” Rohit said.
Anil Pandit has been named as an absconding accused in the case, according to the police remand application submitted before the court.
Earlier, four accused arrested in connection with the firing on the actor were produced before Mumbai’s Esplanade Court (Killa Court) on Thurday.
