Akshay Kumar’s Home to Get Bulletproof Glass After Tiger Attack

One firing in Juhu is changing how some of Bollywood’s biggest names think about home security.

The October 18 attack

Tiger Shroff had gone to play football near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18. As his vehicle left the location, gunmen opened fire. Tiger escaped without serious injury. His driver was hit by a bullet and another person was also reported injured.

Police later traced the accused through a call one of them made to a cab driver, according to The Indian Express. The suspects were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. Investigators are now examining their movements, any alleged checking of celebrity homes and possible links to organised crime. All of that remains part of an ongoing probe.

What is changing at Akshay Kumar’s home

Reports cited by Mid-day say a bulletproof glass shield is being installed at Akshay Kumar’s Mumbai residence. Security arrangements at Salman Khan’s Bandra home are also being upgraded. The steps follow claims that the people accused in the firing had checked other celebrity residences before the attack.

Police sources quoted by Hindustan Times said Salman Khan was reportedly the original target, but heavy security outside his home may have forced a change of plan. It is important to treat claims about intended targets and gang links as allegations until investigators confirm them.

Why this matters for Bollywood fans

The change is not only about a single home. It signals a wider shift after a pattern of attacks and threats around film stars. Salman Khan’s residence was shot at in April 2024, and the latest Juhu firing has brought those fears back into focus.

Here is what we know so far:

• Tiger Shroff was unhurt, but two people around him were reported injured.
• The accused were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan after a phone call helped police trace them.
• Akshay Kumar’s home is getting a bulletproof glass shield, and Salman Khan’s security is being upgraded.

For now, the bulletproof installation is best understood as a security response to an active investigation, not as confirmation of any particular threat. As police continue to establish facts, expect more visible protection around Mumbai’s star homes.
