Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, who is currently shooting for 'Munna Michael' confessed to suffering from 'hardcore depression' a couple of months ago. The actor revealed, "This year I started on a high with Baaghi (2016). I was over the moon when it opened on 12 crore and did 15 crore on a Sunday. For a newcomer and for a second film, that’s pretty good. And then kept going up. But when the numbers for 'A Flying Jatt' came in, I thought, ‘I put in so much work, why didn’t they like it?'"

Talking about he overcame his depression Tiger said, “A month of hard- core depression. A lot of emotional eating. When I started shooting for 'Munna Michael', I was still in that mindset. I didn’t have any drive. But after I finished my first schedule, I thought, ‘I can’t wait for people to see this now.'”
