Actor Tiger Shroff remains in the headlines following a recent gunfire incident in Mumbai. A life-threatening attack took place against him on October 18, though he narrowly escaped unhurt. Now, a spokesperson for Tiger Shroff has refuted reports claiming that the actor raised questions about why he was specifically targeted regarding the shooting incident. These clarifications came after some reports claimed that the actor had recorded his statement with the Mumbai Crime Branch and was deeply shaken by the ordeal.
Spokesperson Dismisses Claims As Baseless
The spokesperson has completely dismissed the claims of Tiger Shroff giving a statement to the Mumbai Crime Branch. The representative clarified that the actor made no such statement whatsoever. Dismissing the reports linking various quotes to the actor as entirely baseless, the team stated that no such conversation or statement-making ever took place. The spokesperson released a statement calling the reports completely false and reiterating that the actor did not issue any such remark.
Earlier Reports That Sparked Rumors
Prior to this clarification, several media reports claimed that Tiger Shroff was in deep shock following the shooting and had questioned why anyone would want to target him. Reports suggested the actor asked why he was attacked when he held no personal enmity with anyone. However, the actor's team has now firmly rejected all these media accounts, dismissing them as completely untrue.
Details of the Juhu Firing Incident
The dangerous attack on Tiger Shroff occurred on the evening of October 18, 2026, in the upscale Mumbai neighborhood of Juhu. Two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle fired a barrage of bullets at the actor's car. While Tiger escaped unharmed in the attack, his driver and a passing pedestrian sustained injuries from the gunfire.
