Tiger admits Bollywood makes him insecure

Insecurity drives Tiger Shroff to constantly seek approval, says the actor who clocked five years in the film industry.

“I am so insecure. But I am driven by my insecurities to constantly seek approval and appreciation... How am I going to... ‘Is my dad going to like it (my work)?’, ‘Are my fans going to appreciate my work?’ While doing a film with Hrithik Roshan sir, (I think) ‘I hope he is impressed’... He is my hero and I look up to him,” Shroff said.

Shroff’s made his film debut in 2014 with Heropanti, with his most recent being Student of the Year 2.

The 29-year-old actor’s martial arts skills has redefined the genre of action in Bollywood. However, Shroff feels filmmakers and actors of today are apprehensive to explore the genre. “Perhaps the (new) crop of actors have evolved and have shown an inclination towards a different sort of cinema and even directors are being inspired in different ways,” he said.
