Security has been tightened around the Mumbai residence of Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone following reports of an alleged extortion threat.
According to reports, Ranveer received a threatening WhatsApp voice note in which the sender allegedly demanded crores. Soon after, the actor informed Mumbai Police, and security arrangements around their home were stepped up.
Armed Personnel Deployed
An official letter from the couple’s housing complex to Dadar Police Station has revealed that six armed security personnel have been stationed outside their residence.
The letter reportedly noted that the deployment was done without prior permission from the Society Managing Committee. It also mentioned that one uniformed police officer has been posted alongside the private security team.
However, the housing committee expressed concern over armed personnel moving through common areas such as the lobby, gymnasium, and children’s spaces. The letter requested police verification and clarification regarding the authorization of such security measures.
Police Investigation Underway
Reports suggest that Mumbai Police have launched an investigation into the alleged extortion threat and are working to trace the individual behind the voice message.
As of now, no further official details have been released regarding the identity of the sender or the progress of the probe.
This development comes amid growing concerns in Bollywood about security threats targeting public figures.
What’s Next For Ranveer & Deepika?
On the professional front, Ranveer was recently seen in Dhurandhar, which reportedly became one of the highest-grossing films in India in 2025. The spy thriller is currently streaming on Netflix, with its sequel slated for a theatrical release on March 19.
Deepika, meanwhile, was last seen in Singham Returns and is set to appear next in King, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan. The couple welcomed their daughter, Dua, in September 2024.
Final Words
While celebrity life often comes with heightened public attention, security concerns are never taken lightly. For now, the couple appears to be prioritizing safety as authorities continue their investigation.
Further updates are awaited as the police probe moves forward.
