Actor Tiger Shroff was attacked last month after multiple rounds were fired at him, leaving the industry shocked and concerned. Recently, Jackie Shroff, who has been promoting his next film, Kaali Kheti, was asked about the case and his son Tiger's status. However, the veteran actor shockingly refused to say anything about the matter.

Jackie Shroff avoids commenting on Tiger's firing incident

At the trailer launch for his upcoming film Kaali Kheti, a reporter asked Jackie about the case, seeking his response. The veteran kept quiet, while the host insisted that the questions be limited to the film only. Jackie avoided the question, and instead blew a kiss at the reporter.

He then pulled his ear and gestured up above to the heavens. Notably, Tiger too has kept a low profile since the incident. The family has not issued any official statements on the matter. Vidyut Jammwal recently revealed that Tiger was affected and stressed after the attack on him.

Tiger's team had, however, issued a brief statement updating fans about the actor's well-being. The statement said, "Tiger is okay."

Tiger shroff's firing incident

On October 18, multiple rounds were fired at Tiger Shroff's car when he was exiting a football ground in Juhu. The gunmen fled the scene; however, the incident was captured by fans gathered outside the ground to get a glimpse of the actor. Although the actor escaped the incident, he was likely shaken up. He was spotted with some scratches, bruises, and gunpowder burn marks on his arms, hands, and chest in a photo from his meeting with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

However, his driver, Firdous Ibrahim Baloch, sustained a wrist injury and a finger fracture during the attack and was rushed to the hospital. Similarly, a pedestrian was also wounded

Soon after the incident, Lawrence Bishnoi gang leader Anil Pandit claimed responsibility for the attack.

So far, 13 people have been arrested in connection with the firing incident. As investigations continue, a special MCOCA court in Mumbai has extended the police custody of five accused, including the alleged shooter, until November 16.
