Tiger Shroff on relationship rumours with Disha Patani: Going around doesn’t mean we’re dating

Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani are rumoured to be in a relationship now for the longest time. The two are all about town promoting their upcoming film, 'Baaghi 2' and Tiger apparently believes that that curiosity around their relationship is good for their film. In an interview with a leading daily, he was asked about the rumours of their relationship. And about this, the actor had much to say.

"We always go around…all the time. Going around doesn’t mean we’re dating. You do go around with friends, right? I go around with my guy friends also, which no one cares about. Besides, have Disha and I ever indulged in PDA or anything? Today, I can say that she is one of those few people who I can trust implicitly and is very open, straightforward and honest. I don’t have too many friends and I don’t open up easily with people, but she’s an exception. And all this curiosity around whether our relationship is true or not is good for our film. People are eager to see our chemistry," said Tiger.

Talking about the preparation for 'Baaghi 2', the actor said, "It was physically challenging to muscle up and train in using weapons, besides learning various forms of combat. I play an army officer and I have tried my best to not let the real heroes of our country down. The team ensured that the attire and body language were always correct. Ronny is a complex character — he is more mature and skilled than the one I played in the first installment." Talking about the many action films he has been doing, he said, "I’m blessed to have an identity so early on in my career. Action is the reason I have found acceptance from people. Children, in particular, like the fact that I do stunts. Many parents have told me that their children want to take up martial arts like me. That being the case, why should I change anything?"

"I’ve always idolised stars like Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Sylvester Stallone. They are larger-than-life heroes. I have a thing for superheroes, I have always had a leaning towards this space. As an actor, what differentiates me from others in my generation is action. I can’t dare to compete with them, but I’m carving my own little space under the sun," added the actor. He was also asked if risky action sequences scare him. "If I think about what could go wrong before I perform an action sequence, it’s bound to go wrong. Or, I will end up not giving it my 100 percent, and I don’t want to do that. As an actor, it’s a personal high for me to give every scene my everything so that the audience gets the worth for their money. It’s my duty to entertain them thoroughly, I have expectations to live up to. Why would anyone pay to watch my movies if I don’t give them what they want? That also means that I have to raise the bar with each film so that they keep coming back," concluded Tiger.
