Masked men at Mumbai airport: Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is a familiar stomping ground for paparazzi, eager to capture celebrities arriving in style. But a recent sighting has left the internet buzzing with speculation. On Tuesday, two men sporting masks were photographed by waiting photographers, and their identities remain a complete enigma.
Two masked men spotted at the Mumbai airport
The viral video of the masked men has ignited a guessing game online. Netizens have offered a range of possibilities, with some suggesting business magnates or celebrities seeking privacy. Others have spun more elaborate theories, speculating they might be high-profile guests for the upcoming wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, preferring to keep their attendance under wraps.
The internet, of course, wasn't short of humorous takes. Some users playfully suggested the masked figures were Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra, with Shilpa emulating her husband's penchant for disguise. Others threw out names like Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan, adding a dash of Bollywood intrigue to the mix.

Adding fuel to the fire, a separate video emerged featuring actress Uorfi Javed encountering the masked men and urging them to reveal themselves for viral fame.
Is one of the masked men Shytoshi Kusama?
The speculation intensified when some viewers identified the man in white as Shytoshi Kusama, the anonymous leader behind the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency. Kusama is rumoured to be on a "world tour" to connect with the SHIB army (SHIB token holders) across the globe. The identity of his masked companion remains a mystery. Kusama was wearing a white outfit, save for a black hood and double masks. His companion, also cloaked in a black hood and mask, opted for a contrasting look with white pants and a light brown jacket.
Prior to his speculated visit to India, Shytoshi Kusama reportedly attended the IVS 2024 conference in Kyoto, Japan.
