Jai
Hemant
Shroff,
lovingly
known
as
Tiger
Shroff,
is
all
out
for
a
cause
to
save
tigers
and
has
written
a
letter
to
Anil
Dave,
Minister
of
State,
Environment,
Forest
and
Climate
Change,
urging
him
to
join
hands
with
PETA
India
to
ensure
that
the
government's
focus
is
on
protecting
tigers
in
their
natural
habitat.
On
the
occasion
of
International
Tiger
Day
(July
29,
2016),
the
Baaghi
actor
says
that
he's
been
associated
with
the
cause
of
tigers
since
two
years.
"I
have
been
associated
with
the
cause
since
my
Heropanti
days.
I'm
trying
to
make
a
difference
by
spreading
awareness."
When
asked
how
he
got
the
name
'Tiger',
the
actor
goes
back
to
his
school
days
and
says
he
used
to
bite
his
classmates
and
hence
got
the
name.
"I
got
the
name
Tiger
because
I
used
to
bite
and
scratch
people
as
a
child."
When
asked
if
the
name
caused
him
embarassment,
Tiger
was
quoted
as
saying,
"No,
there
was
no
other
Tiger
in
school
so
everyone
thought
my
name
was
cool.
I
hope
that
I
can
take
my
career
to
the
heights
that
other
successful
Tigers
like
golfer
Tigers
Woods
and
cricketer
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
Pataudi
did."
