Tiger Shroff
Jai Hemant Shroff (born 2 March 1990), known professionally as Tiger Shroff, is an Indian actor, martial artist, and dancer who works predominantly in Hindi-language films.[1][2] He is the son of veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff and film producer Ayesha Shroff.[3][1] Trained in martial arts such as Taekwondo and Wushu from the age of four, Shroff was awarded an honorary fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo in 2014 and is also proficient in gymnastics.[3] He completed his schooling at the American School of Bombay and briefly attended Amity University in Noida before dropping out to pursue acting.[2][3] Shroff made his acting debut in 2014 with the romantic action film Heropanti, directed by Sabbir Khan, where he starred opposite Kriti Sanon and received praise for his action sequences and dance numbers.[1][2] The film was a commercial success, grossing approximately ₹78 crore worldwide, and earned him several debut awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut and the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Male.[4][2][5] He followed this with leading roles in action-oriented films such as Baaghi (2016), a martial arts drama that became one of the highest-grossing films of the year with earnings exceeding ₹1 billion worldwide, and its sequels Baaghi 2 (2018) and Baaghi 3 (2020).[3][1] Shroff achieved further prominence with the spy action thriller War (2019), co-starring Hrithik Roshan, which grossed over ₹475 crore worldwide and marked one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time.[3] Known for performing his own high-octane stunts without body doubles, he has established himself as a go-to action hero in Bollywood, blending martial arts expertise with contemporary dance skills in hits like Student of the Year 2 (2019).[3][2] His filmography also includes ventures into science fiction with Ganapath (2023) and recent projects like Baaghi 4 (2025), reflecting his continued focus on the action genre as of 2025.[2][3][6]Early life
Family background
Tiger Shroff was born Jai Hemant Shroff on March 2, 1990, in Mumbai, India, to Indian film actor Jackie Shroff and film producer Ayesha Shroff (née Dutt).[7][8] He has a younger sister, Krishna Shroff, who is three years his junior and has pursued a career in fitness and modeling.[2] The family has deep roots in the Indian film industry, with Jackie Shroff achieving stardom in the 1980s and 1990s through blockbuster films such as Hero (1983) and Parinda (1989), which exposed young Tiger to the world of Bollywood from an early age.[9][10] Growing up in this cinematic environment, Tiger experienced the highs and lows of the industry alongside his parents' professional demands, including periods of financial strain in the early 2000s following the failure of Ayesha Shroff's production Boom (2003), which led to the family selling assets and relocating to a smaller home when he was about 13 years old.[11][12] Despite this backdrop, his early years were marked by a nomadic quality due to Jackie Shroff's frequent travels for shoots, which kept the family on the move and shaped a close-knit but transient upbringing.[13] Initially, Tiger showed little interest in pursuing acting, instead gravitating toward sports and martial arts as his primary passions during childhood.[14] He has recalled that "acting was not my first choice," emphasizing how he grew up immersed in physical activities rather than the glamour of filmmaking, though familial encouragement eventually drew him toward the family profession.[14]Education and training
Tiger Shroff completed his schooling at the American School of Bombay in Mumbai. He later enrolled at Amity University for higher education but dropped out to focus on his acting career.[15][16] Shroff underwent preparatory training at an acting institute in Mumbai ahead of his debut. While he has not pursued extensive formal acting education, his preparation emphasized physical discipline and performance skills.[17] His dance abilities stem from inspiration drawn from Michael Jackson, whom Shroff has cited as a key influence; he began formal dance training approximately two years prior to his film debut under instructor Paresh Shirodkar.[18][19] Shroff started training in martial arts, specifically Wushu and Taekwondo, at the age of four, and was awarded an honorary fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo in 2014 by the Kukkiwon World Taekwondo Headquarters.[20][21][22][23] His regimen also incorporates gymnastics and parkour to enhance agility and strength.Career
Debut and breakthrough (2014–2019)
Tiger Shroff was signed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala for his Bollywood debut without undergoing an audition, a decision influenced by Salman Khan's recommendation to launch the young actor.[24] He made his acting debut in the action romance Heropanti (2014), directed by Sabbir Khan, portraying Bablu (also known as Rannvijay Singh), a free-spirited village youth who elopes with a city girl amid familial opposition.[25] The film marked a promising start, blending romance, action, and dance, and achieved commercial success by grossing approximately ₹73 crore worldwide against a modest budget.[4] Following his debut, Shroff took on a supporting role in the revenge thriller Badlapur (2015), directed by Sriram Raghavan, where he appeared as Laali in the energetic song sequence "Zindagi Aa Raha Hoon," showcasing his dance prowess alongside lead Varun Dhawan. He then transitioned to lead action roles, starring as the titular rebel in Baaghi (2016), a martial arts drama directed by Sabbir Khan that emphasized his physical training and stunt work, grossing ₹122 crore worldwide and solidifying his image as an action hero.[26] The same year, A Flying Jatt (2016), a superhero film directed by Remo D'Souza, underperformed with around ₹50 crore worldwide despite highlighting Shroff's agility in aerial combat scenes. In 2017, Munna Michael, a dance-centric action comedy directed by Sabbir Khan, focused on Shroff's terpsichorean skills inspired by Michael Jackson, but collected only ₹48 crore worldwide, facing mixed audience response.[27] Shroff's breakthrough arrived with Baaghi 2 (2018), the sequel to his earlier hit, directed by Ahmed Khan, where he played Ronnie, a rugged special forces operative unraveling a conspiracy; the film became his biggest commercial success to date, earning ₹258 crore worldwide.[28] In 2019, he starred as the athletic student Rohan Nayar in the teen drama Student of the Year 2, directed by Punit Malhotra, which grossed ₹93 crore worldwide and allowed him to explore romantic and competitive elements.[29] His major leap came with War (2019), directed by Siddharth Anand, co-starring Hrithik Roshan as rival spies Khalid and Kabir in a high-stakes chase; grossing ₹475 crore worldwide, it established Shroff in Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe as a franchise cornerstone.[28] Critics and audiences consistently praised Shroff for his athletic physique, martial arts expertise, and commitment to performing demanding action sequences without body doubles, as seen in Baaghi and War, where his stunts were hailed for authenticity and visual appeal.[30] However, his early performances drew critique for limited emotional range and dialogue delivery, with reviewers noting that while his physicality elevated action films, dramatic depth remained a work in progress, particularly in roles requiring nuanced expressions beyond heroism.[31]Expansion and challenges (2020–2025)
Shroff continued the Baaghi franchise with Baaghi 3 (2020), directed by Ahmed Khan, where he portrayed Ronnie once again, this time protecting his family from international threats. Released on March 6, 2020, just before the full onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film grossed ₹137 crore worldwide despite theater closures impacting its run, and was considered a commercial success.[32] The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted Tiger Shroff's career trajectory, leading to delays in several projects originally slated for earlier release. His sequel Heropanti 2, directed by Rajesh Amarlal Kherani and co-starring Tara Sutaria and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, finally arrived in theaters on April 29, 2022, after multiple postponements. The action thriller received mixed reviews, with critics praising Shroff's physicality but critiquing the convoluted plot and dated VFX. It underperformed commercially, collecting approximately ₹24.45 crore nett in India against a budget exceeding ₹50 crore.[33] In 2023, Shroff ventured into sci-fi territory with Ganapath: A Hero Is Born, directed by Vikas Bahl and featuring a high-profile collaboration with Amitabh Bachchan and Kriti Sanon in a dystopian setting. Released on October 20, the film aimed to expand Shroff's action-hero persona into futuristic narratives but faced backlash for its weak screenplay and lackluster execution, earning a dismal ₹12.85 crore nett in India despite a reported budget of around ₹100 crore. The underperformance highlighted ongoing challenges in diversifying his on-screen image beyond conventional action setups.[34] Shroff's 2024 releases marked a deliberate shift toward ensemble casts and multi-starrer formats to mitigate solo-lead risks. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, an action comedy directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and pairing him with Akshay Kumar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Alaya F, premiered on April 10. While it garnered attention for its buddy-cop dynamics and stunts, the film received average reviews for its formulaic plot and received an India nett collection of about ₹65.8 crore, falling short of expectations given its ₹350 crore budget. Later that year, Shroff joined Rohit Shetty's expansive Cop Universe in Singham Again on November 1, sharing screen space with Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and others in a mythological-infused action saga. The film achieved positive box office results, surpassing ₹205 crore nett in India within its first 10 days and ultimately collecting ₹270.60 crore nett in India.[35][36][37] Entering 2025, Shroff returned to his action roots with Baaghi 4, directed by A. Harsha and co-starring Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa, and Harnaaz Sandhu, released on September 5. Billed as the bloodiest installment in the franchise, it emphasized high-octane sequences but was panned for its graphic violence, thin storyline, and repetitive tropes, collecting ₹67.07 crore nett in India and marking a commercial disappointment. Looking ahead, Shroff is in talks for a Hollywood action film alongside Sylvester Stallone. Additionally, he has a dramatic cameo in Hum Tum Maktoob, a 2025 release directed by Palaash Muchhal, focusing on themes of destiny and inclusion, signaling tentative steps toward more nuanced roles.[38][39][40] This period reflected Shroff's evolution from solo action leads to ensemble-driven projects, including cop thrillers and buddy comedies, as a strategy to broaden his appeal amid criticisms of typecasting. Observers noted his reliance on physical prowess often overshadowed dialogue delivery and emotional depth, with actors like Arshad Warsi commenting on Bollywood's tendency to pigeonhole performers like Shroff into shirtless, stunt-heavy roles. Box office trends from 2022 to 2023 underscored these hurdles, with two flops—Heropanti 2 and Ganapath—contributing to a partial recovery in 2024 via franchise synergies. Despite domestic fluctuations, Shroff's international footprint grew through the War franchise's lingering success, which earned over ₹100 crore overseas in 2019 and paved the way for global recognition, amplified by his 40 million-plus Instagram followers showcasing fitness routines and action clips.[41][42][43]Personal life and public image
Relationships and family
Tiger Shroff was in a long-term relationship with actress Disha Patani from 2016 to 2022, though the couple never publicly confirmed their romance.[44][45] They frequently appeared together at public events, vacations, and on social media, fueling speculation about their bond.[46] The breakup was reported in July 2022, attributed to differing priorities and a mutual decision to part ways after six years.[44][45] Following the split, Shroff has been linked to rumors of romantic involvement with individuals such as model Deesha Dhanuka in 2023, though he addressed and dismissed these speculations, emphasizing his focus on work.[47][48] As of November 2025, Shroff confirmed he remains single on Koffee with Karan Season 7, stating he is "currently looking around," with no confirmed relationships.[49] Shroff shares a close sibling bond with his younger sister, Krishna Shroff, a fitness influencer and entrepreneur who co-founded Matrix Fight Night.[50] The two often participate in joint family events, such as a cozy dinner outing in October 2025 with their parents, and Krishna has publicly expressed admiration for her brother, providing mutual support amid career challenges.[51][52] His mother, Ayesha Shroff, plays a significant role in managing his career through her production company, Superstar Entertainment, which has backed several of his films since his debut.[53] In contrast, his father, actor Jackie Shroff, offers advisory guidance without direct involvement, advising Tiger to "take it easy" in the unpredictable film industry and emphasizing life lessons like listening more than talking.[54][55][56] As of 2025, Shroff is unmarried and has no children, maintaining a strong emphasis on privacy in his personal life.[57]Fitness and lifestyle
Tiger Shroff maintains a rigorous daily fitness regimen, dedicating approximately two hours to a combination of martial arts, weight training, and cardio exercises, with no off days to sustain his peak physical condition.[58] His routine typically begins with 45 minutes of morning cardio on a treadmill or stepmill, followed by skill-based sessions in kickboxing, dancing, or gymnastics, and afternoon strength training focused on functional fitness and parkour.[59] This discipline stems from his early training in martial arts, which he credits for building his foundational agility and endurance.[60] Complementing his workouts, Shroff follows a high-protein diet including non-vegetarian sources such as chicken, eggs, and fish, along with whey shakes, nuts, seeds, and vegetables to fuel his active lifestyle.[61][58] He avoids alcohol and smoking entirely, viewing these choices as essential to maintaining optimal health and recovery.[62] For mental well-being, Shroff practices meditation and mindfulness, often integrating yoga and viewing physical training itself as a meditative process to manage stress and build emotional resilience.[63] Shroff's fitness ethos extends to his social media presence, where he boasts over 40 million Instagram followers as of November 2025 and regularly posts workout videos that have inspired youth-led fitness trends across India.[64] These shares highlight his approachable style, blending high-intensity drills with motivational tips to encourage balanced routines. He has also endorsed several fitness brands and expanded his personal activewear line, Prowl, with new athleisure collections in 2023, promoting accessible gear for everyday athletes.[65] As an avid animal lover, Shroff owns multiple dogs and frequently shares affectionate moments with his pets on social media, reflecting his commitment to a holistic, compassionate lifestyle.[66] His public image as Bollywood's fittest actor, nicknamed "Tiger" for his exceptional agility and physique, has solidified his status as a wellness icon, though critics have noted an overemphasis on his looks at the expense of acting depth in media portrayals.[67][68]Other ventures
Brand endorsements
Tiger Shroff entered the world of brand endorsements shortly after his acting debut, signing as the face of American Swan clothing in 2014 to promote its men's line.[69] By 2015, he became the brand ambassador for HRX, Hrithik Roshan's fitness and apparel line available on Myntra, aligning with his athletic image.[70] His partnership with PepsiCo followed, featuring in high-energy campaigns starting in 2019 that emphasized youth and swag.[71] Shroff's endorsements expanded to over 20 brands by 2025, including sportswear like ASICS India, electronics such as Casio India and Samsung, automobiles like Kia Motors, and personal care products from Garnier Men.[72] Fitness-focused deals highlighted his physique and lifestyle, notably launching his own activewear brand Prowl in 2018 targeting young consumers aged 18-25.[73] However, his Pepsi advertisements sparked debate over their alignment with his fitness icon status, as the sugary beverage contrasted his health advocacy.[74] In recent years, Shroff's portfolio included GreatWhite electrical solutions in 2021 and Aarize personal care in 2024, alongside gaming promotions for Battlegrounds Mobile India and electronics from Asus in 2025, and co-brand ambassador for the inaugural Kho-Kho World Cup 2025 alongside Salman Khan.[75][76][77] He reportedly earns ₹3 crore per endorsement, translating to annual ad revenues of ₹10-15 crore.[78] Shroff's strategy centers on his action-hero persona and charisma to appeal to youthful, energetic demographics, fostering long-term brand loyalty through versatile partnerships across categories.[72] This approach has amplified his marketability, with the "Tiger Effect" driving increased visibility and engagement for brands during career fluctuations.[79] Endorsements like Vimal Elaichi and Pan Bahar, however, drew controversy in 2024, as netizens criticized him and other celebrities for promoting tobacco-related products amid health awareness campaigns.[80]Philanthropy and activism
Tiger Shroff has been a vocal supporter of animal rights, particularly through his association with PETA India since at least 2016, when he penned an open letter to the Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change urging the protection of tigers in their natural habitats rather than zoos.[81][82] In this effort, he emphasized ending the cruelty of captivity for wildlife, aligning with PETA's campaigns against animal exploitation. His advocacy stems from a personal affinity for animals, reflected in his long-standing vegetarian lifestyle and participation in events like the 2017 Sai Celebration Run & Petathon, which promoted ethical treatment of pets.[83][84] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Shroff contributed ₹50 lakh to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund in 2020 to aid relief efforts, and he personally distributed 100 ration kits to Bollywood background dancers who lost work due to lockdowns.[85][86] He has also supported broader humanitarian causes through the Reachout Foundation in Mumbai, funding open-heart surgeries for infants, cancer treatments for patients, solar lanterns for tribal communities, and educational resources for underprivileged children over several years. In 2017, he collaborated with Procter & Gamble's Shiksha program to promote access to quality education for disadvantaged youth, spending time with beneficiaries to highlight its importance.[87][88][89] Shroff's environmental activism includes lending his voice to the 2021 Bhamla Foundation's global campaign on urban afforestation and climate conservation, where he advocated for planting trees in cities to combat deforestation. He has used social media and public platforms, such as a 2023 discussion with the HawaBadlo initiative, to encourage sustainable living practices like reducing pollution through everyday choices. In 2020, during the Mumbai Marathon, he addressed climate change and environmental degradation, urging collective action.[90][91][92] Shroff maintains a low-profile approach to his philanthropy, often avoiding high-publicity announcements and focusing on direct impact through organizations like the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA), where he visited over 100 young cancer patients in 2025, dressed as his superhero character from A Flying Jatt to inspire them during National Cancer Rose Day.[93][94]Filmography
Feature films
Tiger Shroff made his acting debut in feature films with the 2014 romantic action drama Heropanti, directed by Sabbir Khan, where he played the lead role of Bablu, a young man entangled in a love story amid rebellion and action sequences. Over the subsequent years, he established himself primarily in the action genre, often portraying athletic heroes in high-octane thrillers, while occasionally venturing into dance-centric or comedic roles. His filmography includes a mix of commercial successes like War (2019) and sequels in the Baaghi franchise, alongside underperformers such as Ganapath (2023).

Music videos
Tiger Shroff ventured into standalone music videos in 2020, marking a shift from his prominent dance sequences in films to independent musical projects where he often takes on dual roles as singer and lead performer. His debut in this space, "Unbelievable," released in September 2020, featured Shroff delivering smooth R&B vocals alongside high-energy choreography that highlighted his agility and expressive style, amassing over 24 million views on YouTube.[109][110] The track, produced by Gaurav Wadhwa and directed by Punit Malhotra, established Shroff's potential as a versatile artist beyond cinema, blending romance with dynamic visuals.[110] Building on this momentum, Shroff released "Casanova" in January 2021, his second single and the inaugural video on his official YouTube channel, where he sang and danced in contrasting white and black ensembles to portray a playful romantic narrative. The song, produced by TrakFormaz and again directed by Malhotra, garnered 16 million views, praised for its catchy beats and Shroff's fluid dance moves that drew from his extensive training in martial arts and contemporary styles.[111][112] Later that year, he contributed to patriotic fervor with "Vande Mataram" in August 2021, singing a rendition of the national song in a minimalist video that emphasized emotional delivery over elaborate production, resonating during India's independence celebrations.[113] In 2022, Shroff collaborated with actress Mouni Roy for "Poori Gal Baat," a upbeat track composed by Prem and Hardeep, where he sang and performed intricate footwork alongside Roy's graceful moves, achieving significant traction as a party anthem with millions of streams across platforms.[114] By 2025, Shroff expanded his discography with "Bepanaah," a high-energy dance number featuring Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, sung and choreographed to showcase synchronized routines and glamorous visuals, directed by Bosco Leslie Martis and released in July to capitalize on his established fanbase for rhythmic content.[115][116] These five to seven projects by 2025 illustrate Shroff's evolution from promotional film tracks to self-contained hits, where his role as a dancer-performer drives viewer engagement, often resulting in viral challenges and over 50 million combined views for his top releases.[117] His contributions emphasize conceptual themes like love, patriotism, and energy, prioritizing visual spectacle and vocal experimentation to build a niche in the independent music scene.Discography
Soundtracks
Tiger Shroff ventured into singing with his Bollywood debut in the soundtrack for Heropanti 2 (2022), where he provided vocals for the track "Miss Hairan," composed by A. R. Rahman.[118] This marked his first on-screen singing contribution, blending his energetic style with Rahman's melodic arrangement. Earlier film soundtracks featuring Shroff primarily highlighted his dance performances rather than vocals, though his involvement in standalone singles like "Vande Mataram" (2021) echoed patriotic themes aligned with his action-hero persona.[119] Beyond films, Shroff's standalone discography began with his independent singing debut "Unbelievable" in 2020, a high-energy pop track that showcased his raw vocal delivery and dance moves in the music video.[109] As of November 2025, his catalog includes the following tracks:| Year | Title | Type | Notes |
