On Sunday evening, the 36-year-old actor was shot at while traveling in a car through the Juhu suburb of the city. Video footage showed armed men firing multiple shots at close proximity to the front passenger seat of the vehicle as it moved past a gathering of people. This incident has raised concerns about the increasing threat faced by high-profile individuals in India, many of whom have been victims of targeted attacks in recent years. Maharashtra state Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Shroff after the shooting, expressing his shock at the attack and emphasizing that such actions would not be accepted. Police confirmed that two individuals, including Shroff's driver, were injured during the incident. This event marks another in a series of violent incidents targeting prominent public figures in India. In 2024, two criminals were arrested for a gun attack on the residence of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, while also that year, a prominent politician named Baba Siddique was fatally shot in Mumbai. The young actor, who is the son of two actors, made his debut in the film industry in 2014 with the romantic movie Heropanti and has since starred in numerous films. He is also an avid football player and represents the professional club Mumbay FC.",
