Tiger Shroff’s spokesperson rejects the report
NDTV, citing sources, had reported that Tiger told the Crime Branch, “I am in deep shock. I do not wish to say anything right now. Who would want to carry out such a life-threatening attack on me, and why.”However, according to the Hindustan Times, Tiger Shroff’s spokesperson denied this when contacted. “This news is completely untrue. Tiger has not made any such statement. No such thing has happened,” the spokesperson said.
Team warns against AI-made content
After the incident, Tiger Shroff was seen with bandages on his arm and shoulder in his first pictures, which worried fans. The official Team Tiger Shroff page then shared a short video showing burn marks on his skin, which appeared to explain the bandages.The team also issued a statement against misinformation. It read, “We would like to categorically clarify that Tiger Shroff has made no statements, released no videos, and authorised no communication regarding the recent incident or any related developments.”It added, “It has come to our attention that several social media pages and digital platforms are circulating fabricated stories, AI-generated videos and scripted narratives, falsely attributed to Tiger. These are completely false, unauthorised and intended to mislead the public.” The team warned that legal action could follow for those who continue to spread such content.
