Reacting to the incident, Suniel told the media, “Tiger or Jackie Dada, I think the whole world loves them. And if something like this can happen to them, then it can happen to anyone. It shouldn’t happen. Suniel also spoke about Tiger’s disciplined lifestyle, pointing out that the actor remained focused on sports and exercise. “Tiger only focuses on sports, only exercise, and is dedicated to that. Don’t know why it happened. It shouldn’t happen, and it is very important for us to stay safe,” he added.

Sharing his personal connection with Jackie, Suniel described the veteran actor as his childhood friend and expressed hope that everything would be fine. “I will only say that for me, you know, Jackie Dada is my childhood friend, and I just wish that everything is fine,” he said.

Suniel Shetty, who shares a longstanding friendship with Jackie Shroff and a warm bond with Tiger Shroff, voiced his concern over the firing incident involving the actor.

The day after the incident, Jackie attended the naming ceremony of Sangeetkar Bappi Lahiri Marg in Mumbai, where Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was also present. Suniel attended the event as well and spoke to the media as he left.

Several members of the film industry, including Amaal Mallik, Mika Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Shatrughan Sinha, and Ravi Kishan, have also spoken out following the incident. Some called for enhanced security for the actor.

On October 18, a few hours after the firing, actor Disha Patani and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde arrived at Tiger’s Mumbai residence to inquire about his well-being.

The firing incident took place outside a football club near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Tiger Shroff escaped without injuries, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver were reportedly injured.

Bollywood actors Kareena Kapoor Khan, Hema Malini, and Anil Kapoor, among others, celebrated Dussehra, marking the triumph of good over evil.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Bebo shared a photo and wrote, “A reminder that good will always triumph over evil Happy Dussehra.” Hema Malini also took to her X handle to wish fans and wrote, “Happy Dussehra to all! Let us celebrate the triumph of good over evil as we did the victory of Lord Ram over Ravan or the triumph of Ma Durga over the evil Mahishasura. Let us bid goodbye to our ego and all negative thoughts from our lives and concentrate on leaving this world a better place for future generation.”

Anil Kapoor marked the occasion by sharing a picture of Lord Rama and extended Dussehra wishes to his followers with the message, “Happy Dussehra.”

Actors from the Telugu film industry, including Chiranjeevi, also took to social media to extend their Dussehra wishes to fans. Extending his greetings, Chiranjeevi wrote, “Symbol of victory achieved by good over evil – Victory on Vijayadashami. With the blessings of that Divine Mother, may every home overflow with happiness and joy, and may every good endeavor you undertake be successful – I sincerely wish this from the bottom of my heart. Dussehra greetings to you and all your family members #HappyDussehra.”

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is celebrated across the country to commemorate the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and symbolize the triumph of righteousness over evil. The festival also marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura in several parts of India.

The occasion holds special significance as people come together to celebrate the victory of good over evil.

Bollywood star Jackie Shroff made his first public appearance following the attack on his son, actor Tiger Shroff.

The actor was seen attending the naming and unveiling ceremony of Bappi Lahiri Marg in Mumbai.

The actor was present at the event held in honour of legendary singer and composer Bappi Lahiri. The road has been named after the late musician, who lived in the locality for 45 years, in recognition of his association with the area and his contribution to Indian music.

Actors Poonam Dhillon, Suniel Shetty, Sharad Kelkar and Gulshan Grover were also among those who attended the ceremony.

Jackie Shroff was seen wearing a white outfit at the event. His appearance came in the wake of the firing incident involving his son, Tiger Shroff, which has shook the industry.

For the uninitiated, the firing incident took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18, when unidentified assailants on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at the car carrying Tiger Shroff.

The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and a passerby sustained injuries. The incident occurred as Tiger was leaving after a football-related outing.

Following the incident, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the actor’s house to check upon his whereabouts.

Earlier strongly condemning the incident, Eknath Shinde, had described it as deeply concerning and assured that those responsible would face strict action.

He said he had spoken to the Mumbai Police Commissioner, who has formed strong teams to track down and apprehend the accused.

“Our current priority is to keep Mumbai and its citizens safe. Whether it is a celebrity or an ordinary citizen, ensuring their safety is the responsibility of both the police and the government. There will be no laxity in this regard, and no gang, whoever they may be, will be spared,” Eknath Shinde said while interacting with the media.

The firing incident is under investigation by Mumbai Police.
