An FIR was registered against Bollywood actors Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani on Wednesday for allegedly violating the pandemic norms by roaming at a public place without a valid reason, a Mumbai Police official said. Shroff along with Disha was found roaming near the Bandra bandstand in the evening, hours after the 2 PM deadline for restrictions on the movement of people outside their houses without a valid reason.
Later, Mumbai Police on Thursday took to their social media platforms to share that two actors have been booked for flouting Covid-19 lockdown restrictions in the city.
Soon the news went viral on social media after which Tiger’s mother, Ayesha Shroff responded to a post on the news development, saying that Tiger and Disha were returning home after stepping out for essentials.
In a now deleted post, Ayesha wrote, “You got your facts wrong my dear. They were heading home and cops were checking Aadhaar cards on the way. No one is interested in “roaming” at a time like this. Please get your facts right before saying such things. Thank you!” She added, “For your information, it is permitted to go out for essentials.”
She also said that Tiger is a responsible citizen and has been providing free meals to frontline workers. She wrote, “Instead of bringing people down how come no one writes about the free meals he’s providing to front line workers!! That’s coz he himself doesn’t talk about it! So don’t judge till you know. Thank you.”
