Everyone is nice to me except Ram Gopal Varma: Tiger Shroff

Tiger Shroff has a familiar company on the sets of Sabbir Khan’s Munna Micheal. His little sister Krishna, who is an assistant director for the film, is his biggest critic on the sets, Tiger reveals, “It is fun working on this film. After Sabbir, Krishna is the next person who I ask how was the shot.” The actor was recently embroiled in a controversy after director Ram Gopal Varma took a dig at him and called him a transgender. Tiger agrees that criticism does hit him badly at times. “I get really upset when I’m aware that my parents know about it. If it is only about me, I don’t mind. I prefer to ignore and continue working. The fact that my parents read news and get upset is something that I do not like. In fact, my mum takes it to her heart and becomes very defensive,” he adds. In an industry where people turn friends to foes every Friday, who are his real friends in Bollywood, we ask, “I do have friends but I don’t hang out with them as I’m not very social. Everyone is nice to me except RGV sir,” he quips.

Tiger asserts that unfair comparison with Vidyut Jammwal was unnecessary. Tiger, who is often touted as the action hero of Bollywood, says that he has no plans of experimenting with any other genres.
