No, we didn't ask Tiger Shroff to do splits or fold himself in half, Although we're quite sure he would have happily obliged — it's no secret that he's insanely fit. Instead, we asked him 15 questions about his universe.
1 What has been your biggest achievement so far?
I think my biggest achievement has been to be accepted by the masses. When I speak of the masses, I mean the single screen theatres that have given me a lot of love. Most of the collections of my films come from them, and I guess that’s because the films I’ve done cater mainly to them. Maybe they like seeing me do that, the action and everything. It’s something I’m really grateful for. I’ve also been especially lucky with children. One of the bigger achievements is that I get calls from random mothers, saying that her child won’t eat until he or she hears your voice. Some of them even have to watch Heropanti or Baaghi before sleeping every night.
2 Do you have fond childhood memories of your father’s sets?
I used to enjoy watching my father shoot, watch him do all the action and stuff. That inspired me to do what I’m doing right now. I can’t name anything in particular - it’s because every day was full of love and laughter. My father used to get mobbed whenever he stepped out in public. So I used to be very proud ki mera papa hai. (Laughs) Every son’s first hero is his father, so yeah.
3 Which of his films do you love the most?
Hero, of course, and Shiva Ka Insaaf and Parinda.
4 What is the best piece of advice he has given you?
