Bollywood celebrities have increasingly found themselves at the centre of security concerns following a series of shooting incidents and threats over the past two years. The latest incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu area has once again drawn attention to the safety of film stars, entertainers and people associated with the industry.
According to an NDTV India report, several prominent personalities have faced firing incidents between 2024 and 2026. These include Salman Khan, filmmaker Rohit Shetty, actress Disha Patani, YouTuber Elvish Yadav, singer AP Dhillon, comedian Kapil Sharma, singer Guru Randhawa and politician Baba Siddique.
Although these cases differ in their circumstances, some have involved alleged gang connections, threats or claims of responsibility on social media. Such claims must be distinguished from facts established by investigators.
1. Salman Khan: Firing Outside Galaxy Apartments in 2024
On April 14, 2024, two motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments residence in Mumbai’s Bandra area.
The incident prompted a major investigation and increased security around the actor. Mumbai Police subsequently alleged that the attack was carried out at the behest of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Salman had already faced threats attributed to people associated with the gang. The shooting intensified concerns about his safety and led to additional security arrangements.
The actor was not injured in the firing. The case remains one of the most prominent recent examples of violence directed at a Bollywood superstar.
2. AP Dhillon: Gunfire Outside His Canadian Residence
Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s residence in Canada became the focus of a shooting incident in September 2024.
Reports said gunfire was directed at a property associated with the singer in the Vancouver-area community of Colwood, British Columbia. The incident attracted further attention because of AP Dhillon’s musical collaboration with Salman Khan.
However, the circumstances and motive should not be reduced to a single explanation without verified evidence. Investigators and authorities must establish responsibility through the evidence available in the case.
The incident added to concerns about threats and violence affecting Indian entertainers living or working abroad.
3. Baba Siddique: Politician Shot Dead in Mumbai
Baba Siddique, a former Maharashtra minister and prominent political figure, was shot dead in Mumbai on October 12, 2024.
He was widely known for his connections with Bollywood celebrities, including Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. His annual iftar gatherings frequently brought together politicians and film personalities.
The killing led to a major criminal investigation. The case also drew attention to alleged threats and criminal networks operating across Mumbai and other parts of India.
Although Siddique’s friendship with prominent actors became part of the public discussion, the precise circumstances and motives surrounding the murder must be understood through the official investigation rather than speculation.
4. Kapil Sharma: Shooting Incidents Involving His Canadian Café
Comedian and television host Kapil Sharma also became associated with a series of shooting incidents involving his café in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
Reports in 2025 described gunfire at the establishment, with subsequent incidents raising further security concerns. The café attracted attention after the comedian expanded his business activities beyond television and entertainment.
Media reports also discussed alleged threats in which Salman Khan’s association with the café’s opening was mentioned. However, the claims and the motive behind the attacks require careful attribution to investigators and official statements.
The incidents highlighted how public figures can face security challenges beyond their primary entertainment careers.
5. Disha Patani: Firing Outside Her Family Home in Bareilly
In September 2025, gunmen opened fire outside a residence associated with actress Disha Patani’s family in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
The incident shocked the entertainment industry and raised questions about the safety of celebrities and their relatives. Reports said groups identifying themselves as criminal gangs claimed responsibility, although such claims require independent verification.
The case also highlighted how threats against public figures can affect family members and private residences.
Disha later came into the news again when she visited Tiger Shroff following the October 2026 firing incident in Mumbai.
6. Elvish Yadav: Gunfire at the YouTuber’s Residence
YouTuber and reality television personality Elvish Yadav’s residence was also targeted in a firing incident in 2025.
The shooting brought attention to security concerns surrounding digital creators, who have increasingly become high-profile public figures through social media, reality shows and commercial ventures.
According to media reports, a criminal group claimed responsibility for the incident. Police investigations are crucial in establishing the identities of the attackers, the motive and whether the claims made by any group are genuine.
The case demonstrated that threats and violent incidents are not limited to traditional film actors.
7. Rohit Shetty: Firing Outside the Filmmaker’s Mumbai Residence
On February 1, 2026, gunfire was reported outside filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s residence in Mumbai’s Juhu area.
Reports said several rounds were fired, damaging glass near a gym on the building’s first floor. The incident prompted an investigation and increased security around the filmmaker’s residence.
A person associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang reportedly claimed responsibility. In subsequent developments, Mumbai Police investigated alleged links to an organised criminal network.
The case raised concerns across the film industry because of Rohit Shetty’s prominence as a director known for action films and major commercial productions.
8. Tiger Shroff: Latest Firing Incident in Juhu
The latest case involves actor Tiger Shroff, whose car was reportedly targeted by gunmen in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18, 2026.
According to media reports, three men on motorcycles fired multiple rounds at the actor’s vehicle. Tiger was reported safe, while his driver and another person were reported injured.
Police launched an investigation, examined available CCTV footage and worked to identify the suspects. A social media post allegedly linked to a criminal group claimed responsibility, but the authenticity of such claims must be established through the investigation.
The incident prompted concern among Tiger’s family, friends and colleagues, while authorities reportedly increased security around his residence.
Celebrity Security Remains a Major Concern In Bollywood
These eight cases have renewed questions about the safety of celebrities, their families and people associated with the entertainment industry. Some incidents have involved alleged organised-crime connections, while others have different circumstances that must be assessed individually.
It is important not to assume that all the shootings are connected or that claims made online prove who was responsible. Police investigations, evidence and court proceedings are essential to establishing the facts.
The recent incident involving Tiger Shroff has once again placed celebrity security in the spotlight, with the industry watching closely as investigators work to determine the motive and identify those responsible.
