  "account": "Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff recently experienced a firing incident in Mumbai's Juhu area, which has reignited discussions about the security measures surrounding high-profile personalities. Actor Ronit Roy, founder of Ace Security and Protection, highlighted the evolving nature of celebrity security, noting that it extends beyond just personal bodyguards. In addition to close protection during daily activities, stars often utilize private security agencies for travel, event management, crowd control, and protection at film locations. The extent of security measures varies depending on factors such as individual preferences, assignment specifics, and risk assessments.\n\nPrivate security agencies and law enforcement agencies serve distinct roles in protecting celebrities. While personal bodyguards or professional agencies handle routine protection, police protection is typically provided when authorities deem a specific threat or circumstance warrants it. In India, police security arrangements depend on the threat assessment and the policies of the respective state government. Security categories like X, Y, Y+, Z, and Z+ signify different levels of protection, separate from the private bodyguards directly employed by celebrities.\n\nStars must navigate various challenges related to their security, including crowded public appearances, unpredictable movements, unauthorized access to private spaces, and the spread of information on social media. Announcing travel plans or providing real-time locations can inadvertently increase vulnerabilities. Coordinating between personal security teams, production units, venue management, and local authorities is crucial during film shoots and promotional events. Depending on the context, a celebrity's security needs may differ between public events and private gatherings or closed sets.\n\nOver the past few years, Bollywood stars have faced multiple attacks. On May 29, 2022, singer Sidhu Moose Wala was fatally shot while in a vehicle in Mansa district, Punjab. In June 2022, a threatening note was discovered near Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan, at Mumbai's Bandstand. In March 2023, an email containing a death threat against Salman Khan was reportedly received by his team. On November 11, 2023, gunfire was heard outside Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal's residence in Vancouver, Canada. On April 14, 2024, five rounds were fired at Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. September 1, 2024, gunmen fired rounds outside AP Dhillon's Vancouver Island residence, Canada. October 12, 2024, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai's Bandra area. October 2024 saw Mumbai Police receiving intelligence about a potential attack on comedian Munawar Faruqui. In July 2025, gunmen fired shots at Kap's Café, owned by comedian Kapil Sharma, in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, and Molotov cocktails were thrown during the incident. On August 7, 2025, the café faced a second shooting with similar circumstances. On September 12, 2025, gunmen reportedly fired rounds outside actress Disha Patani's family home in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. October 16, 2025, a third shooting was reported at Kap's Café. February 1, 2026, gunfire was heard outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty's residence in Juhu, Mumbai. February 2026, Ranveer Singh received an extortion demand of approximately ₹10 crore through a voice message. On June 11, 2026, gunfire was reported outside a gym linked to Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa in Delhi's Paschim Vihar area. July 2026 saw threats sent to actor Aamir Khan via social media and audio messages, linking them to the Bishnoi gang. On October 18, 2026, gunmen opened fire at actor Tiger Shroff's car in Juhu, Mumbai.",
