You’re only as good as your last performance: Tiger Shroff

TIGER SHROFF MAKES no bones about saying that his off-screen demeanour is calm and reserved - a far cry from his aggressive self in Baaghi 2. The rising actor says failures do impact him as a person.

“When it comes to the success or failure of my movies, I would be lying if I say that it does not impact me at all. It does. In an industry as tough and competitive as Bollywood, you’re only as good as your last performance. When you’ve put your heart and soul into a movie, you obviously want to see it do well at the box office and be appreciated by the audience. I try not to let either success or failure get to me too much, though. I remember what my dad told me once: Any success is momentary, and no failure is insurmountable. What really matters is to keep moving forward,” Tiger said.

On the personal front, he says he is very different from Tiger Shroff, the actor.

“Well, for one thing, I am nowhere near as prone to punching and kicking people as I am in my on-screen roles,” he quipped. “I am very relaxed and chilled-out in real life. I am reserved, calm, and like keeping to myself. Tiger as an actor comes alive in front of the camera; off it, I am just a regular guy who enjoys spending time with his family and friends.”

Tiger is now gearing up for Baaghi 2. “I enjoyed every aspect of Baaghi 2 - the the emotions, the action, the way characters just played off each other. There was great energy on the set, and just so much talent.
