On Friday, intruders broke into actor-model Sangeeta Bijlani’s farmhouse in Lonavala (Maharashtra). Just days earlier, a man trespassed into a Pali Hill building — home to celebs like Kriti Sanon and KL Rahul — damaging an elevator and flashing CCTV camera. In May, a woman caught outside actor Aditya Roy Kapur's house. And in January, actor Saif Ali Khan was stabbed at home.

Break-ins at celebrity residences are raising serious concerns. Experts blame underpaid guards, missing security basics, and societies that choose style over safety.
