Bollywood star Tiger Shroff was shot at in Mumbai but survived without any gunshot injuries, police said on Sunday.
Shroff, 36, was traveling in a car that was leaving a football club in the Juhu suburb when at least two gunmen fired multiple shots at close range at the front passenger seat.
The incident, captured on video, emerged moments after the car slowed past a crowd. Police say two people, including Shroff’s driver, were injured.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the actor and vowed that "hooliganism" would not be tolerated.
The attack is the latest in a series of assaults on public figures across India, following the 2024 gun attack on Salman Khan’s home and the death of politician Baba Siddique.
Shroff began his career with the 2014 romance film Heropanti and also plays for the professional football club Mumbai FC.
