Actor Pooja Bhatt also condemned the firing, calling it ‘scary.‘ “Horrific and condemnable. If this can happen with a police van parked outside the Khan residence for protection then it is fair to say that safety is an illusion. Need more stringent surveillance in Bandra for certain. Robberies were rife a while ago and now a shoot out? Scary,” she tweeted

He called the incident of firing “very disturbing” and “unnerving”. “Our family has been taken aback by this shocking incident that took place,” wrote Arbaaz, adding, “No member of the Salim Khan family has made any statement regarding this incident to the media. At this time the family is helping and cooperating with the police in the investigation of this untoward incident. We have faith in the Mumbai police and we have been assured they will do everything in their capacity to protect and secure our family. Thank you everyone for your love and support (sic).”
