Zitat des Tages von Tiger Shroff:
I definitely think there is a lot of expectation and pressure being a star's son.
After working for a couple of years, I have realised how much hard work it takes to become an actor, and my father has gone through it all these years. It's draining, both physically and mentally, but he makes it look so effortless.
Since childhood, I wanted to become a superhero. When I do anything in real life, I believe that I am a superhero, like in the way I fight, dance, or jump.
After marriage, my love won't be divided between my mom and my wife. It will be doubled. My mom has always been as much my hero as my father.
In school, I would run away whenever there was trouble, as I would get bullied a lot.
In my house, my mother is my superhero.
It's a very competitive world out there. The competitive spirit is fine within limits. But it shouldn't drown the sheer joy of the game being played. It's natural to want to win. But to me, it's not natural to want others to fail.
I am an over-thinker and tend to stress a lot.
Michael Jackson is so unique, and I look up to him and try to imbibe as much from him and marry it to my own style.
I don't eat out much. I eat mostly home food and no carbs after 5 P.M. You are what you eat, and Sunday used to be my cheat day, when I could eat chocolate; but there are no cheats to a good body. Now, I don't give in.
Stuntmen don't have a lavish life. They are such hard working people, but not respected enough. And I don't like that. If I become something in my life, I want to give them a better life, take them to a higher level.
I think cinema is so visually driven now, and people are so taken in by the glamour, gloss and all things good looking that we don't appreciate the craft as much as we used to in the bygone era.
After my 12th standard, I started preparing for the film industry. I've had no formal acting training.
Growing up, my inspirations were Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, all these martial arts legends. I wanted to express my talent on screen in a certain way. I felt that it made me a little different.
I like superheroes who are very human and underdog. That's why I relate to my character in 'A Flying Jatt': because he is a very normal person and very human. He was very unsure about his super powers; he didn't know how to use them. He is scared of heights, speed. Especially he is scared of his mom, but he has to listen to her.
I will benefit from being a part of this industry, but I also want the industry to benefit from me.
Doors opened for me because of who I am. But the downside is, there is way way too much expectation from me, much more than there would have been if I were from outside the film industry.
I'm anti-social, and I don't have too many friends. I'm in my own world doing my own things - training in martial arts, dancing, or watching a Michael Jackson video.
If I have to use a body double, it means I'm not well prepared to do what I have to do.
Apparently, I used to bite, scratch and growl at people when I was young, so my parents named me 'Tiger.'
Every son's first superhero is his father, and it was the same for me. For me, he was Superman and Batman combined.
As for Aamir Khan, he keeps raising the standard with every film. For an artist like me or a newcomer like me, we can only look up to that and dream, 'When will that be us someday?' There's so much to learn from him. He is the encyclopedia of acting.
I never liked going to school and would sham and play football. I played in the centre forward position. If ever given a choice, I would love to represent Barcelona.
Spiderman is the underdog, and I love underdogs.
My mom is my biggest support and critic. I've tried to be a good son, and I don't think I've given her a single day of grief. I want her to know she has my unconditional love.
