"Bullets Firing at My Home": Rohit Shetty Drops Bombshell on Bigg Boss 20
Rohit Shetty makes a shocking reference to the firing incident at his home while schooling contestants on Bigg Boss 20.
In a surprising turn of events during the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20, filmmaker Rohit Shetty made a veiled but powerful reference to a traumatic real-life event. While hosting the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' segment, Shetty indirectly addressed the Rohit Shetty firing incident that occurred at his residence, using the moment to lecture the contestants on the reality of violence versus the "gangster" personas they were adopting inside the house.
Schooling the Contestants
The tension flared during the episode when Rohit Shetty noticed a pattern of bullying and group targeting. He pulled up contestants Scout OP, Asif, and Yung DSA for their coordinated efforts to target Qazi Touqeer. As the contestants attempted to maintain a tough, intimidating image, Shetty didn't hold back.
Drawing a sharp parallel between their behavior and the dangerous reality facing film personalities in Mumbai, Shetty questioned their posturing. “Yahan humare ghar par goliyan chal rahi hain, tum kya gangster banke ghoom rahe ho?” (Bullets are firing at my home here, and you are roaming around pretending to be gangsters?), he remarked, leaving the housemates and viewers stunned.
The February Shooting Incident
While Shetty did not explicitly detail the event during the show, his words pointed toward a chilling incident from February 1. In the early hours of that day, at least five rounds were fired at the first floor of his residential building in Juhu, Mumbai. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the attack. The Mumbai Police acted swiftly following the incident, arresting several individuals in connection with the shooting.
A Pattern of Attacks on Bollywood Stars
The reference by Rohit Shetty comes amidst a worrying trend of firing incidents targeting high-profile Bollywood celebrities in Mumbai over the last two years. Other prominent names, including Salman Khan and most recently Tiger Shroff, have also been targets.
The Tiger Shroff Case
The city is currently gripped by the investigation into an attack on Tiger Shroff. On October 18, around 7 pm, shooters allegedly opened fire at the actor's car as he was leaving a football club in the Juhu area.
The Mumbai Police and Crime Branch are digging deep into this case, with several key developments emerging:
- Sealed Evidence: Authorities have sealed a hotel room in Andheri where three of the primary accused are alleged to have stayed.
- Pre-planned Attack: Sources indicate that the Crime Branch is investigating claims that the shooters practiced their firing at an unknown location before executing the attack.
- Legal Proceedings: Four arrested suspects were produced before Mumbai’s Esplanade Court (Killa Court) this past Thursday.
- Manhunt: An individual named Anil Pandit has been identified as an absconding accused in the police remand application.
As the investigation continues, police are expected to conduct a recreation of the crime scene with the three accused to piece together the exact sequence of events.
