Filmmaker Rohit Shetty, known for his high-octane action sequences, brought the intensity of real-life drama to the Bigg Boss 20 house this weekend. While hosting the latest ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode, the director took a stern stance against contestants Scout OP, Asif, and Yung DSA for their repeated group targeting of fellow housemate Qazi Touqeer. In a moment that caught viewers off guard, Rohit drew a sharp parallel between the house dynamics and the recent wave of security threats plaguing Bollywood stars, questioning the contestants’ attempts to act like gangsters.
Addressing the trio, Rohit remarked, “Yahan humare ghar par goliyan chal rahi hain, tum kya gangster banke ghoom rahe ho?” This comment served as an indirect but clear reference to the chilling incident on February 1, when five rounds were fired at the first floor of the director’s Juhu residence. While the filmmaker has maintained silence on the matter publicly since the event, which saw the Mumbai Police successfully apprehend several suspects, his frustration with the ‘gangster’ posturing inside the house clearly stemmed from his own harrowing experience.
The industry has been on high alert following a series of targeted attacks on prominent figures. Beyond the incident at Rohit Shetty’s home, the most recent scare involved Tiger Shroff. On October 18, shots were fired at the actor’s car as he departed a Juhu football club. The investigation into the Tiger Shroff case is currently intensifying, with the Mumbai Crime Branch sealing a hotel room in Andheri where the key suspects reportedly stayed. Police are also probing allegations that the accused practiced their aim at a remote location prior to the attack, and plans are underway to recreate the crime scene with the four arrested suspects who recently appeared before the Esplanade Court.
