Tiger Shroff: I don't feel like a Tiger most of the time

Tiger Shroff is one of the recent actors who admitted that he was a victim of depression owing to one of his film's Box Office failure. However, the actor has three big upcoming films - 'Student Of The Year 2', 'Munna Michael' and 'Baaghi 2', to his advantage.

In an interview last year, Tiger admitted that he cried a lot after his debut in 'Heropanti' as he was teased for his name and looks. While Tiger was named Jai by his parents Ayesha Shroff and Jackie Shroff, the name changed later owing to his habit of scratching and biting as a child.

The actor who is still coming to terms with his name, in an interview with a leading magazine revealed, "I don't think one always grows into one's name." Adding in a lighter vein, Tiger said, "I don't feel like a Tiger most of the time. Like right now, talking to you, or going about my day, I feel more like a tame house cat. But when dancing or giving an action shot, I channel the meaning of my name."

While growing up Tiger didn't think he would be a part of the entertainment industry. Talking about his arduous journey, Tiger said, "You have to act like a star, combat the anxiety that you might make a fool of yourself. Plus, they [people] look at me as Jackie Shroff's son, and that's a lot of pressure."

Isn't Tiger the youth inspiration we need?!
