Though the actor escaped unhurt, his driver and another person were injured during the shooting. Several celebrities have shared their views and concern about the attack. Now, Vidyut Jammwal has posted a video message for Tiger, in which he praises his friend’s courage and questions the people who watched the incident unfold.
Vidyut Jammwal calls Tiger Shroff ‘Nidar’ and calls out his fans
In the video, Vidyut speaks directly to Tiger and calls him the most fearless person he knows. He then turns to the fans who were present at the spot and asks why none of them tried to stop the attackers.“Main Tiger Shroff ko kuch bolna chahta hoon. Tum sabse nidar aadmi ho. Me jitno ko bhi janta hoon, unn sabse bohot jyada nidar ho. But I am gonna tell your fans, every person who goes to watch you play football and cheer for you and kehte hai, ‘main aapka bohot bada fan hoon, sabse bada fan hoon.’ Jitne saare jo fan the na, kisi ko toh bhag na chahiye tha, kisi ko toh pakad na chahiye tha… nahi? I love you, I am your biggest fan, what is this, guys? Humlog karte hain, aap bhi toh kuch karo yaar (I want to say something to Tiger Shroff. You are the most fearless man. You are far more fearless than anyone I know. But I am going to tell your fans, every person who comes to watch you play football, cheers for you and says, ‘I am your biggest fan, your biggest fan ever.’ All those fans who were there, at least someone should have run after him, someone should have tried to catch him… shouldn’t they? I love you, I am your biggest fan, but what is this, guys? We do our part, but you should also do something, yaar).”
Vidyut Jammwal’s message for Mumbai Police
Vidyut also addressed the Mumbai Police. He said security must be provided to Tiger, but warned that such an incident should never be repeated.“Aur main Mumbai Police ko bolna chahunga, yes you will give him security, but this should never happen again. Agar is tarah ki galti ho bhi jaaye na, fir aap hi gunhegaar hai (And I would like to say something to the Mumbai Police. Yes, you will provide him with security, but this should never happen again. If such a mistake happens again, then you yourselves will be responsible).”
Vidyut Jammwal’s ‘Bajrang Baan’ advice for Tiger Shroff
The actor ended the video on a personal note, asking Tiger to listen to ‘Bajrang Baan’, which he said is a favourite of both of them.“Aur Tiger sunna yaar, apna hai na favourite dono ka, Bajrang baan, bass sunte reh. Jab mein bohot akela hojata hoon na, bohot akela, tab Bajrang baan sunta hoon. Mein janta hu tu bhi sunta hai. I love you bhai (And Tiger, listen, yaar. The Bajrang Baan is a favourite of both of us, right? Just keep listening to it. When I feel very lonely, really lonely, I listen to the Bajrang Baan. I know you listen to it too. I love you, brother).“
Vidyut Jammwal’s caption
Sharing the video, Vidyut wrote a caption about standing up for others. “We know there’s a lot happening in our country. Sometimes we can raise our voice, sometimes we can’t, but WE do in our own way, But when we see someone being harassed or assaulted on the street (woman :man), why do we stand by and watch? Why can’t one of us step forward, not just as witnesses, but as human beings? We need fewer spectators and more heroes.”

According to an ANI report, none of the three accused in the case is a minor. Two of them are from Haryana and one is from Bihar. They were arrested from a train in Kota. No weapons have been recovered from them so far, and further investigation is going on.
