Early Life & Education
Tiger Shroff, whose real name is Jai Hemant Shroff, was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, on March 2, 1990. He has a younger sister named Ayesha Shroff and is the eldest child of Bollywood celebrities Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Shroff. Given that his mother is Bengali and his father is Gujarati, Tiger comes from a multicultural family.
Tiger had a strong interest in martial arts and fitness from an early age. Inspired by legendary action star Bruce Lee, he started learning Taekwondo and Wushu when he was four years old. His Bollywood career would later be defined by his early martial arts training, which helped him gain recognition for his own stunts and action scenes.
Tiger Shroff received his education at the American School of Bombay, where he also developed his passion for sports and dance. He attended Amity University in Noida for his further education, but he soon left to follow his ambition of becoming a Bollywood actor. Heropanti (2014), a romantic action film that laid the groundwork for his career in the Hindi film industry, was the result of his decision.
During his school years, Tiger participated actively in sports, fitness, and dance in addition to academics and martial arts. This helped him build a diverse skill set that would later help him become known as one of Bollywood's most gifted action stars.
