Actor Ravi Dubey has expressed concern over the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff. He called it a “major security lapse” and hoped that those responsible are caught immediately. Speaking to the media, Ravi said he was relieved that Tiger was safe and sound. “I am sure that a lot of assurance has been given to the family as well.
This is a major security lapse. I haven’t spoken to Tiger yet. The good thing is that Tiger is safe and sound. His driver, however, sustained injuries, and I hope he recovers soon. I hope that those who committed this act are caught immediately. That would bring a sense of relief to everyone,” he said. Ravi further said that while people could not make demands of the government, they could request the authorities to take the matter seriously. “We are nobody to make demands from the government. What we can do is request them that this is a major security lapse,” he added. To note, Ravi and Tiger live in the same building.
