Tanuj Virwani robbed by his spot boy, says ‘I have a baby daughter, wife at home, it’s frightening

In a deeply personal and unsettling revelation, actor Tanuj Virwani shared that he was recently robbed by his spot boy of 10 years—someone he considered part of the family. “This is a deeply upsetting moment for me,” Tanuj said in an interview with Hindustan Times. “He wasn’t just my spot boy. He was like family. He’s been with us since 2015–2016, from the Inside Edge days.”

Tanuj went on to explain that the man not only lived with them, but travelled, ate, and celebrated with the family. “I’ve always treated everyone equally at home—whether it’s staff or family, that line was never drawn.”

The betrayal came to light when things started mysteriously vanishing. “It started with a jacket, then a couple of my dad’s expensive watches. We had just come back from the UK, and some of the currency we brought back went missing too,” he explained. “We’re not the kind of family that locks things up at home. There’s always been a basic sense of trust.”

What made matters worse was discovering the spot boy had developed a drinking problem and had been selling the stolen items to fuel his addiction. “It’s not just the material loss, it’s the betrayal. I have a baby daughter, my wife, my mother—all living in this house. You can’t have someone under the influence, stealing things, around your family. It’s frightening.”
