Speaking to news agency ANI, Manoj said he did not view the incident as a gang war but admitted that the uncertainty surrounding such incidents was frightening. He also expressed relief that Tiger was safe and that his driver was recovering.
Manoj Bajpayee said, "I don't see a gang war, but shots are being fired from who knows where-that's really scary. It's sad what happened to Tiger, but the best and the happiest part is that he's safe, and his driver is also recovering slowly. We aren't law and order experts or anything."
Divya, meanwhile, stressed that feeling safe is a basic necessity for everyone. She said, "Unfortunately, hearing it sends a wave of ‘what happened?’ everywhere. We all just want a normal sort of safety. Everyone needs that basic to survive, and it's really important. When it shakes like that, it absolutely shakes you up, but I'm sure the authorities are looking into it, and Tiger is safe. Yeah, God bless."
