MUMBAI: Tiger Shroff made his debut with the 2014 release Heropanti. He has successfully managed to carve a niche for himself in the industry with his sheer hard work and has proved his versatility on the big screen.

From playing a romantic hero to a dancing star, action hero, and more, Tiger is known for presenting something new to the table every time he hits the big screen.

At the time of his birth, his parents Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Shroff named him Jai Hemant Shroff.

The actor had revealed in an old interview that he got the name when people started comparing him to a tiger because of his biting habit. He said, "I used to bite as a kid ... like bite everyone around."

The actor shared that his victims also included a teacher at his school. He recalled, "I bit my teacher in school, and even got punished for that."

Tiger's unusual name also inspired him to do something for the animal he was named after. In 2014, the actor adopted Lee, a tigress at the Maharajbagh zoo in Nagpur, whom he first met while promoting Heropanti with actor Kriti Sanon that year. He quoted a well-known dialogue from Spiderman--"With great power, comes great ­responsibility”--to explain his decision to adopt Lee.

Tiger is also seen making headlines for his personal life. The Student of The Year 2 actor, who is quite active on social media, is often seen sharing adorable posts for his family members including dad Jackie Shroff, mommy Ayesha Shroff, and sister Krishna Shroff, and has time and again proved that his family means the world to him.
