Very few know that before Tiger Shroff was set to make his big debut in the industry with 'Heropanti', the young actor was mentored by Aamir Khan. In fact, it can be recalled it was Mr.Perfectionist, who also launched the trailer of his debut film, had long conversations with Tiger comforting him before he was starting his career.

Both Aamir and Tiger live in the same building, just a floor apart. Tiger got to learn a lot from the interactions they have had and he will always value whatever he has learnt from him. Since Aamir was his very first mentor in the industry, Tiger looks up to him.

However, in recent times, they have not had a chance to sit and talk at length. Tiger is currently busy with his preparation for his upcoming next film, 'Baaghi', which will go on floors soon.

Said Tiger, "Aamir sir was kind enough to invite me to his house a couple of times before I began my career. Of late, we haven`t met since he is quite busy working on his next film, Dangal, while I am devoting all my time to prep up for Baaghi."

''It`s an intense role and Sabbir (Khan, director) sir is making me go through gruelling workshops with the rest of the star cast almost everyday," Tiger added.
