MUMBAI, October 19, 2026: Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed after unidentified gunmen allegedly opened fire at his vehicle in Mumbai’s Juhu area, leaving two people, including his driver, injured, according to Indian media reports.
The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday evening as Shroff was returning home with his driver after playing football. A crowd had gathered in the area hoping to catch a glimpse of the actor when the attackers allegedly fired at the vehicle.
According to reports, the injured included Shroff’s driver, Firdous, who sustained minor injuries, and another member of the actor’s staff. Both were taken to Nanavati Hospital for medical treatment. The driver was reported to be out of danger.
