Tiger Shroff’s mother visits vlogger shot in attack ‘meant for her son’; emotional gesture wins hearts

Ayesha Shroff Meets Injured Vlogger After Juhu Firing Incident

Indiadailyupdate.com – Ayesha Shroff visited vlogger Umesh Chouhan at Mumbai’s KEM Hospital on Tuesday, offering support to the man who was wounded during a firing incident involving her son, actor Tiger Shroff.

Chouhan, 35, was struck in the chest when members of the Bishnoi gang allegedly fired at Tiger Shroff’s car in Juhu on Sunday. While the actor sustained minor abrasions, Chouhan suffered a far more serious injury and remains under intensive care as doctors prepare to remove the bullet.

The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Chouhan’s condition and upcoming procedure have drawn concern from his friends, who have remained close to the hospital since the attack.

A Visit That Moved Chouhan’s Friends

During her visit, Ayesha Shroff checked on Chouhan’s health and spoke with people accompanying him at the hospital. Fellow vlogger Kisan Rajbhar, who helped take the injured man for medical treatment, said she was reassuring and asked to receive updates about the surgery.

“She enquired about Chouhan’s health and was comforting. She also shared her phone number with his friends and asked to be informed about his surgery,” said Rajbhar.

The visit left a strong impression on Chouhan’s friends, who were touched by the concern shown for someone caught in what police believe was an attack directed at another person.

An officer stationed near the ICU said the encounter was emotional, noting the apparent personal impact of the incident on Tiger Shroff’s family.

“She was emotional as she must have realised that this person was injured in an attack meant for her son. It was very thoughtful of her to come,” the officer said.

The episode has placed the focus not only on the intended target of the shooting but also on the ordinary people who can be harmed when violence unfolds in crowded urban areas. Chouhan’s injury has become a painful reminder that a targeted crime can quickly endanger bystanders and people nearby.

Family Awaits Chouhan’s Surgery

Chouhan’s father was expected to arrive in Mumbai from the family’s hometown in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday night. Doctors have advised that Chouhan’s pregnant wife and son should not visit him at the hospital for now.

With surgery planned for Wednesday, the immediate priority remains his treatment and recovery. His friends have been helping coordinate information while medical staff prepare for the procedure to extract the bullet.

Tiger Shroff escaped the incident with minor injuries, but the contrast between his condition and Chouhan’s has underlined the severity of the gunfire. The actor’s family has faced an alarming situation, while Chouhan and his relatives now confront the uncertainty of a major medical intervention.

Four Held in Connection With Firing

Delhi Police’s Special Cell arrested four people in connection with the firing at Tiger Shroff’s car, an official said on Tuesday. The group includes two men from Haryana and two women from Uttar Pradesh.

The accused have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana; and Radha, 23, and Babita, 23, both from Uttar Pradesh.

Police suspect the four were acting on directions from Anil Pandit, described by investigators as a gangster operating from outside India. The investigation is examining the alleged planning and coordination behind the shooting, as well as the roles of those taken into custody.

The four were first brought before a court under Section 35(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Mumbai’s Crime Investigation Department later sought permission to formally arrest them and question them in custody.

“The four were initially produced before a court under Section 35(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Subsequently, Maharashtra Police’s Crime Investigation Department in Mumbai moved an application seeking permission for their custodial interrogation and formal arrest. The court allowed the plea and granted three days’ transit remand to the Mumbai Police team,” the official said.

Transit remand permits the Mumbai police team to take the accused from Delhi for further legal proceedings and questioning in Maharashtra. The custody period may help investigators trace communications, establish whether additional people were involved and examine the alleged links to the overseas gang figure named in the case.

A Case With Human Consequences

The Juhu shooting has brought together two separate realities: a high-profile alleged attack involving a film actor and the critical injury of a vlogger who had no indication he was the intended target. For Chouhan’s friends and family, the case is defined less by its celebrity connection than by his immediate medical needs.

Ayesha Shroff’s hospital visit has added a human dimension to an incident now being examined across multiple law-enforcement jurisdictions. While investigators continue to pursue the criminal case, Chouhan’s recovery remains central for those waiting at KEM Hospital.

For now, his relatives and friends are awaiting Wednesday’s surgery, hoping the operation proceeds safely and that he can begin the next stage of recovery after the traumatic events in Juhu.
