The firing incident involving Tiger Shroff sent shockwaves through the film industry. The incident took place on October 18, Sunday, in Mumbai, when the Bollywood actor was leaving a football club. A video of the shooting showed the attackers opening fire at his car from close range.
In the first photos that surfaced after the attack, Tiger was seen shirtless, with visible bandages on his chest and left arm. Reports said the actor suffered minor abrasions, was examined and later discharged. However, new photographs shared by Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar, who visited the actor following the firing incident on Tuesday, showed Tiger without bandages. The pictures came as a relief to his fans.

After his meeting with Tiger, Eknath Shinde condemned the attack, calling it “deeply concerning”. “Tiger Shroff’s vehicle was targeted. This incident is deeply concerning and condemnable; I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. I have spoken with the Police Commissioner, and I have also spoken with Tiger Shroff. The Mumbai Police Commissioner has formed several teams to track down those who opened fire—they will be apprehended and given a response in their own language. Our current priority is to keep Mumbai and its citizens safe,” Eknath Shinde said.
