I didn’t want to just be Jackie Shroff ka beta: Tiger Shroff on making his own identity in the film industry

Tiger Shroff has no qualms in admitting that he is “anti-social” but there is a reason behind it as admitted by him during an interview with a leading daily. The 29-year-old actor has set his focus on his goals and is definite about the fact that he doesn’t want to take undue advantage of his father Jackie Shroff’s stardom in the film industry. Instead, Tiger wants to concentrate on creating his own identity.  

“I am anti-social because I’m work-oriented and obsessed with my goals,” Tiger told the daily, adding that his characteristics are similar to his mother Ayesha Shroff. “I am more like momma (Ayesha Shroff). My sister, Krishna is more like my dad. Dad is so bindaas. He doesn’t care about what people think. I am uptight and focused. My father was born a star. On the other hand, I had to work hard to get out of his shadow and make my own identity. I didn’t want to just be —  Jackie Shroff ka beta,” Tiger added.

Tiger made his debut in Bollywood with Heropanti in 2014 and subsequently starred in the films Baaghi, A Flying Jatt and Baaghi 2. He is known for his dancing skills and while speaking to the daily, said that he believes in pushing himself and aims to reach world-class standards.

“I want to be this guy who has this identity, not just here, but across the world for his ability to do a certain thing in the best possible way. Whether it is my action, my dance or whatever else it is, I want to reach world-class standards. Not because I want to be able to brag about it or discuss it with you, but because I genuinely believe in pushing my limits,” Tiger said.

                                                    

Tiger Shroff is currently gearing up for the release of Student Of The Year 2, co-starring newcomers Ananya Panday and Tara Sutaria. Directed by Punit Malhotra, SOTY 2 will release on May 10.
