Tiger Shroff responds to being called a "bikini babe"
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,August 05 2021]
Since his debut in 2014, Tiger Shroff has made a unique image of himself in the film industry. He relies on his acrobatic, martial arts and dance skills instead of acting chops to entertain and it fits right in with the kind of movies he makes. Even after his relentless hardwork and dedication towards the craft, Tiger has been criticised and trolled on several occasions for pointless things. Be it his boyish looks or lack of facial hair in early days, Tiger has endured it all.
During a conversation with Arbaaz Khan, Tiger Shroff talked about the comparisons he faced with his father Jackie Shroff and also responded to a mean tweet by filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. Back in the day, RGV shared a photo of Tiger Shroff and wrote, @iTIGERSHROFF U are great at martial arts but if BRUCE LEE ever posed like a bikini babe like u he wouldn't hav bcm BRUCE LEE..Please think.
To this Tiger responded by saying, No one can match up to Bhidu, except Bhaijaan (Salman Khan). Tough to match up to Bruce Lee also, so sir, I think you're absolutely right.
He further added, Before the release also, I used to be trolled a lot for my looks. People used to say, 'is he a hero or a heroine? He doesn't look like Jackie dada's son at all.' It was a deliberate move to play to my strengths. One troll said, Aapke paas sab kuch hai, bas daadi nahi hai (You have everything, except a beard), to which Tiger pointed at his bearded face, and said, Yeh kya hai bhai (What's this, then)'?
