A Shocking Breach at Home
On June 3, 2025, Gurmeet Choudhary revealed a distressing theft at his Mumbai home via Instagram Stories, later reposted by Debina Bonnerjee. A newly hired domestic worker stole several expensive items and fled, but Choudhary’s prompt response ensured most belongings were recovered. “Today, a new worker stole some items from our home and ran away. Thankfully, we always verify anyone who comes to work, so we could act quickly,” he wrote, emphasizing that he was home and his daughters, Lianna (born April 2022) and Divisha (born November 2022), were safe in their room . The actor did not disclose specific items stolen or confirm a police complaint, but his swift action, aided by the worker’s identification details, resolved the crisis .
Context of Rising Celebrity Crimes
The incident follows a string of high-profile crimes in Mumbai, heightening local concern. Earlier in 2025, Saif Ali Khan was stabbed by an intruder in his Khar home, suffering knife injuries while protecting his son, Jeh. An intruder also entered Aditya Roy Kapur’s Bandra residence, and bullets were fired outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartment. The assassination of Baba Siddiqui further rattled the city’s elite. Choudhary’s robbery, though less violent, underscores vulnerabilities in celebrity households, prompting him to urge fans: “Stay alert. Always verify anyone who enters your home for work”.
A New Home Marred by Incident
The theft occurred just months after Choudhary and Bonnerjee moved into their ₹16 crore Andheri West property in Windsor Grande Residences, purchased in March 2025. Choudhary shared an emotional Instagram post about the home, crediting Debina, his “Grihalakshmi,” for their journey from humble beginnings to this milestone. Hours before the robbery, the couple posted joyful photos with their daughters, captioned, “Tiny hands. Big hearts. Full life,” unaware of the breach to come. The incident, while resolved, casts a shadow over their new chapter.
A Call for Vigilance
Choudhary and Bonnerjee, beloved for their Ramayan roles and reality show appearances like Nach Baliye 6, are set to star in Pati Patni Aur Panga, a couples’ show that tests compatibility. Their resilience shines through, with fans flooding social media with support. The robbery, described as a “bit of bad luck,” highlights the necessity for stringent background checks, particularly within Mumbai’s high-stakes celebrity circles. As Choudhary noted, “Most importantly, everyone is safe,” turning a personal scare into a public lesson in vigilance.
