Tiger Shroff played football with Aparshakti, Karanveer, Abhishek Bajaj before shooting incident

Bollywood star Tiger Shroff remained unharmed after an unidentified gunman opened fire during a football match in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening. The assailants, who arrived on a motorcycle, targeted the actor as he was about to enter his vehicle following the game. Although bullets missed Tiger, his driver and a staff member sustained injuries.

The football match, which saw 18 players participate including Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Bajaj, Karanveer Mehra, and Caesar Gonsalves, was ongoing when the attack took place. Abhishek Bajaj confirmed to SCREEN that he had been part of the match. Fellow actor Karanveer Mehra described the chaos that ensued, stating that as his car reached the venue, he witnessed blood spots and learned that Tiger's driver had been shot.

The incident occurred around 7 pm, with security alerted and police called shortly after the attack. Tiger Shroff's father, Jackie Shroff, confirmed to Rediff that the actor is fine, adding that his driver was injured in the hand. Two other individuals, Firdous (Tiger's driver) and Umesh Chavan (another staff member), were also injured and are currently receiving treatment at a hospital.

This shooting is the latest in a series of attacks targeting Bollywood personalities, including filmmaker Rajiv Rai, T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, Salman Khan, Disha Patani, and filmmaker Rohit Shetty.
