Tanuj Virwani Files Complaint After Trusted Spot Boy Caught Stealing From Home
Last Updated:
Actor Tanuj Virwani revealed how he caught his spot-boy stealing personal belongings and handed him over to the police.
Tanuj Virwani's 10-year-old spot boy has been caught stealing personal belongings from the actor's Mumbai residence. The Inside Edge actor recently opened up about the shocking incident, revealing how the thefts went unnoticed for months. It wasn't until Tanuj and his family noticed that things were going missing one by one. Later, some of the stolen goods were recovered from the spot boy's bag.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Tanuj revealed, 'Of late, we had been noticing that a lot of items in our home, starting from the currency of other countries where we travelled or other expensive items like watches and stuff have just been going missing. To be honest, we aren't the kind of family who prefers keeping CCTV at home. We ideally believe in trusting our people."
The Rana Naidu 2 actor went on to reveal that the spot boy had a lot of access to the things. 'We believe in trusting our staff, and we believe in treating them like our family. We don't discriminate. So, when we found out, we went through his bags and we got to recover some items. However, many items like watches and other stuff haven't been recovered yet."
After the theft came to light, Tanuj Virwani's family approached the Mumbai Police, who quickly swung into action and are currently investigating the matter, with the spot boy being questioned. 'I believe it is truly the best police in the world and they were swift to come in and take action. As of now, they are going to be interrogating him," he revealed.
Reflecting on the incident, Tanuj Virwani emphasised the importance of being vigilant, saying, 'Well, we have to be a lot more mindful. To be honest, what happened earlier this year in the whole Saif Ali Khan case was a massive eye-opener. It doesn't matter how good your society or building security is. Sometimes, the traitors can just be in your very home."
On the work front, Tanuj Virwani made his debut in Bollywood with the film Luv U Soniyo in 2013. He has since worked in films like Purani Jeans, One Night Stand and Yodha. Now, the actor is gearing up for the release of his upcoming web series Rana Naidu 2, alongside Rana Daggubati.

Adnan Sami says Pakistanis behave like his ‘ex-lovers': ‘When they see you moving on with someone else…'
Adnan Sami has a theory about why Pakistanis are still talking about his changed citizenship. Adnan used to be a Pakistani citizen but was granted Indian citizenship in 2016, something he still gets hate for from the other side of the border. In a new interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adnan theorised that Pakistanis are suffering from something he has dubbed the 'ex-lover syndrome'. Adnan Sami has said that the comments he gets from Pakistanis are also an 'absurd expression of love.' He said, 'It's like—it's like an ex-lover. It's a good analogy. You know, when an ex-lover sees you moving on and getting involved with somebody else, they'll always come up with reasons to hate you. But the real reason they do that is because they still haven't gotten over you, and it's love—it's still love. And love manifests in many absurd ways. You could even say… but the point is, I understand, somewhere, the psyche of how they feel.' Adnan said there were solid reasons behind his decision to change citizenship, but people have more issues with him going through it than a thousand others who do it all the time too. 'First of all, because of the geopolitical nature between India and Pakistan, so there's that rivalry, for whatever reason, we all know. But more than that, it's the ex-lover syndrome,' he said. Why did he make the switch? He said he never received a single award or any recognition from the government there, despite making music for nearly 40 years. He also spoke about other challenges he faced during that period. He made it clear that his audience had always been loving and supportive, and they still were. Adnan said he loved them deeply and remained genuinely grateful for all the affection they had shown him. His issues, he stressed, were never with them, and that was something he wanted them to understand. 'My issues have been with the government and the way they have treated me. They don't know this—how would they? But the fact remains, I've always loved my audiences. As you mentioned about being an artist, for me, everyone who loves me, I love them equally in return," he said. Apart from his hit albums, Adnan Sami has lent his voice to several popular Bollywood tracks, including Tu Sirf Mera Mehboob in Ajnabee, Nashe Nashe Mein Yaar in Janasheen, Shayad Yahi To Pyar Hai in Lucky: No Time for Love, Dil Kya Kare in Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love, and Baatein Kuch Ankahein Si in Life in a... Metro, among others. He was awarded the Padma Shri by the Indian government in 2020.

Adnan Sami calls Pakistan an 'ex-lover' amid debate over his citizenship: 'Can't see me moving on with India'
Adnan Sami addresses the controversy surrounding his Indian citizenship, likening the backlash to an 'ex-lover' unable to accept his decision. He emphasizes that his move was based on personal grounds, questioning why it draws criticism amid widespread global migration. Sami clarifies his discontent was with the Pakistani government, not its people, expressing gratitude for the continued love from his audience. Adnan Sami has finally addressed the ongoing chatter around his Indian citizenship, saying the backlash feels like an 'ex-lover' who can't accept him moving on. While his music continues to win hearts, Sami believes it's time the focus shifts from his nationality to his decades-long contribution to music. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Adnan spoke about his citizenship often overshadowing his musical contributions. He likened the situation to that of an ex-lover struggling to move on. He explained that the backlash he receives stems more from lingering emotions than genuine criticism—suggesting that beneath the negativity lies unresolved affection and a reluctance to let go. Sami said he understands the psyche behind such reactions, even if they manifest in strange or emotional ways. The singer further pointed out that many people are unaware of the circumstances that led to his decision, and it's unfair for anyone to assume they understand his reasons. He emphasized that his choice was based on solid, personal grounds. Addressing the backlash, he questioned why global migration is widely accepted, yet his move draws criticism—highlighting the ongoing geopolitical tension between India and Pakistan . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo Ultimately, he reiterated that much of the negativity stems from what he described as an 'ex-lover syndrome,' a lingering emotional reaction rather than a rational one. He also reflected on the lack of recognition he received from the Pakistani government throughout his decades-long music career. Despite contributing to the industry for nearly 40 years, he said he was never honoured or awarded by the authorities there—a disappointment that was only a small part of the challenges he faced. However, he clarified that his issues were never with the people of Pakistan. On the contrary, he expressed deep affection and gratitude for his audience, who he said have always showered him with love and continue to do so. Adnan further clarified that his discontent was directed solely at the government, not the people of Pakistan. He emphasised that the general public has always shown him immense love, and he continues to feel a deep connection with them. As an artist, he believes in reciprocating love equally and holds no bitterness toward anyone. While some may develop resentment over his choices, he views even that as stemming from a place of love. He expressed hope that, with time, these feelings would heal. His music, he stressed, is for everyone—without borders or conditions—and he welcomes all who wish to engage with it. His citizenship became a widely discussed topic after he was granted Indian citizenship by the Government of India, effective January 1, 2016. Born in the UK to Pakistani parents, Sami had held Pakistani citizenship until then. His request for Indian citizenship, made in 2015, was approved on humanitarian grounds. However, the move sparked considerable debate, with critics raising questions about the reasons behind the decision—particularly in light of his Pakistani origins and the complex political dynamics between the two countries.
