Tiger Shroff Shot At In Mumbai's Juhu Area
· Entertainment · Indian Express, India Today
Actor Tiger Shroff was shot at in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday, October 18, but escaped unhurt. The incident recalls a history of gun violence and extortion targeting Bollywood figures during the 1990s and early 2000s by organised crime groups seeking influence over film financing and distribution rights. The relationship between Mumbai's underworld and the Hindi film industry dates back to the 1960s with alternative financiers before turning coercive in later decades. Police records note several high-profile attacks on film producers and directors during that era, including the killings of Javed Riyaz Siddiqui and Mukesh Duggal. Investigators have not yet named a suspect in the attack on Shroff.
Why it matters
The shooting revives security concerns for Bollywood celebrities and highlights the enduring shadow of organised crime over India's entertainment capital.
