Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was shot at by gunmen in Mumbai on Sunday but escaped unharmed.

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was shot at by gunmen in Mumbai on Sunday evening as he was leaving a football club in the suburb of Juhu. Video footage shows at least two gunmen firing multiple shots at close range at the front passenger seat of his car as it moved slowly past a crowd. Shroff, aged 36, escaped without gunshot wounds, according to Indian police investigating the incident.

His driver and an autorickshaw driver were reportedly injured in the shooting. Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Eknath Shinde, visited Shroff after the attack and said the actor and his mother had been left 'shaken' by it. 'These attempts to intimidate people will not be tolerated, and we will put an end to this hooliganism,' Shinde said.

A social media post linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the shooting, though police are verifying the claim. The incident reflects heightened concerns about the safety of public figures in India, following a 2024 gun attack on the home of actor Salman Khan and the shooting of politician Baba Siddique in Mumbai that same year.
