A day after the open firing at Salman Khan’s residence in Bandra, actor and filmmaker Arbaaz Khan took to his official social media handle to release a statement regarding that matter. It was on Sunday, early morning, around 5 am, when two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle fired four gunshots outside Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, Mumbai. Ever since, many individuals have spoken to the media and expressed their views on the stunt. While some claimed that it was a publicity stunt, others stated that the family was fine.
Now, amidst all the reports, Arbaaz took to his Instagram.

Posting the statement without any caption, a part of his statement read, “Our family has been taken aback by this shocking incident that took place. Unfortunately some people claiming to be close to our family and pretending to be the spokesperson have been making loose statements to the media saying it's all a publicity stunt and the family remains unaffected which is not true and these views should not be taken seriously.” ALSO READ: Salman Khan's Shoot Schedule To Remain The Same Despite Firing Incident!
