Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff survives shooting in Mumbai

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff survived a shooting incident in Mumbai without any gunshot injuries, according to Indian police. The 36-year-old was targeted while in a car leaving a football club in Juhu suburb on Sunday evening. Multiple gunmen fired shots at close range at the front passenger seat of the moving car. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of public figures in India, a nation where targeted attacks have occurred recently, resulting in deaths and injuries.

Maharashtra state deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde condemned the attacks, promising to end hooliganism after meeting Shroff and his mother who were reportedly shaken. Police reported two people injured, including Shroff's driver. This marks the latest in a series of attacks on prominent Indian figures. In 2024, two members of a criminal gang were arrested for a gun attack on Bollywood actor Salman Khan's home.

Also in 2024, influential politician Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. Shroff, a son of two actors, made his acting debut in 2014 with Heropanti and has starred in various films. Apart from acting, he is a football enthusiast who plays for Mumbai FC.
