Tiger Shroff firing: Amaal Mallik questions Mumbai security, stands by the actor and urges authorities to ensure his safety after the Juhu attack.
Tiger Shroff firing prompts Amaal Mallik to question Mumbai security.
Singer-composer Amaal Mallik has come out in support of Tiger Shroff after the actor was targeted in a firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area. In a strongly worded post on X on Monday, Amaal questioned the state of security in the city and appealed to the authorities to ensure Tiger’s safety.
The musician, who shares a personal equation with Tiger, said he could not understand why someone he described as one of the “kindest people” he knows had to face such an incident. Tiger escaped without a gunshot injury after assailants allegedly opened fire at his vehicle on Sunday evening. His driver and another person were injured.
Amaal Mallik Says He Is ‘Always’ With Tiger Shroff
Reacting to the attack, Amaal began his note by recalling Tiger’s journey in the film industry and defending the actor’s character.
“Tiger has entertained every generation since his debut & I can’t understand why someone who has never knowingly wronged anyone, and is one of the kindest people I know, has to go through this,” he wrote.

“@iTIGERSHROFF, please take care, my bro. You know I’m always with you. Right now, please stand by your family and no one else,” Amaal added.
The composer also expressed anger over the incident itself, writing, “What the hell is happening in Mumbai? 😞”
Tagging Mumbai Police, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, he added, “please ensure his safety.”
