Tiger Shroff unhurt after reported shooting in Mumbai’s Juhu

Actor Tiger Shroff escaped unhurt after three rounds were fired at him in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday, October 18, The Economic Times reported. The report did not identify the attackers or establish a motive for the shooting.

The incident adds to a history of shootings targeting members of the Hindi film industry and properties associated with them. Those cases span nearly three decades; the report does not establish any connection between the attack on Shroff and the earlier incidents.

Earlier shootings outside filmmakers’ and actors’ homes

In February 2026, five rounds were fired outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Juhu. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, according to the report. That claim does not establish responsibility for the latest shooting.

In April 2024, two men on a motorcycle fired five rounds outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments residence in Bandra. Mumbai Police subsequently arrested several suspects described in the report as linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

The report said a trial was underway against five accused: Vicky Gupta, Sagar Pal, Harpal Singh, Sonukumar Bishnoi and Mohammad Rafiq Choudhari. A sixth accused, Anuj Kumar Thapan, died in police custody in May 2024. The pending trial is not a finding of guilt.

Attacks stretching back to the 1990s

Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan was shot and injured in Mumbai’s Santacruz area in January 2000, about a week after the release of his film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Two assailants fired several shots; one bullet struck his left arm and another grazed his chest.

In August 1997, T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar was killed outside the Jiteshwar Mahadev Temple in Andheri. According to the report, the attackers shot him 16 times.

The report also cited three separate shootings targeting comedian Kapil Sharma’s restaurant, Kap’s Cafe, in Canada’s British Columbia province between July and October 2025.
