Tiger Shroff Recounts Tough Times In Childhood: I Slept On The Floor; It Was The Worst Feeling
Tiger Shroff saw some tough times in his childhood, when his mother produced the Amitabh & Katrina starrer, Boom, but it was a big flop. The family went through a tight financial crunch.
Tiger
Shroff
is
a
bonafide
superstar
now,
and
his
journey
hasn't
been
all
roses.
Although
a
star
kid,
Tiger
went
through
a
tough
phase
in
his
childhood.
When
his
mother,
Ayesha
Shroff
produced
the
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Katrina
Kaif
starrer
Boom
but
it
failed,
the
family
went
through
a
tight
financial
crunch.
Tiger
recalls
that
he
had
the
worst
feeling
of
his
life
during
that
phase.
The
2003
film
Boom,
starring
Big
B
and
Katrina,
was
leaked
before
it
could
even
hit
theatres,
and
it
turned
out
to
be
a
big
flop.
Tiger
recounted
in
an
interview
that
at
that
time,
things
he
had
grown
up
around
had
to
be
sold
off
to
meet
ends.
"I
remember
how
our
furniture
was
sold
off,
one
by
one.
Things
I'd
grown
up
seeing
around
us
started
disappearing.
Then
my
bed
went.
I
started
to
sleep
on
the
floor.
It
was
the
worst
feeling
of
my
life.
I
wanted
to
work
at
that
age
but
I
knew
I
could
do
nothing
to
help" Tiger
said.
He
was
eleven
years
old
at
the
time.
Tiger
made
his
debut
with
Heropanti
in
2014,
and
in
just
five
years
time,
he
has
carved
a
niche
for
himself
in
the
industry.
In
his
next
film,
Tiger
will
be
starring
opposite
his
all-time
favourite,
Hrithik
Roshan,
whom
he
absolutely
worships.
Tiger
and
Hrithik
will
be
seen
in
Siddharth
Anand's
'War',
which
is
going
to
be
a
mega
action
film.
Although
Tiger
has
experimented
with
different
roles,
the
audiences
have
not
been
so
welcoming
of
this
apart
from
his
'action
hero'
characters.
He
is
therefore
cautious
about
stepping
out
of
this
mould.
He
said,
"You
think
of
Shah
Rukh
sir
(and)
think
'Romance
King'.
You
(look
at)
Salman
Khan,
(and)
think
'Bhaijaan'.
Each
one
of
these
guys
has
a
label.
That's
important
in
an
industry
that
has
so
much
competition.
Every
time
I
do
something
offbeat,
(the
audience
has)
not
been
as
kind,
to
me.
A
Flying
Jatt
or
Student
Of
The
Year
2.
In
A
Flying
Jatt,
I
was
a
bumbling
superhero,
afraid
of
heights,
fights
and
of
using
powers.
In
SOTY
2,
I
was
a
college
guy
getting
bullied.
It
didn't
go
down
well
with
my
audience.
I
don't
think
they
could
digest
me
coming
from
Baaghi
2
to
being
beaten
up
by
college
students."
