LEAP, LAND, REPÉAT

FROM ACTION HERO TO ENTREPRENEUR, TIGER SHROFF OPENS UP ABOUT HANDLING FAILURE, DEVELOPING AEROPHOBIA, AND BUILDING A LIFESTYLE EMPIRE

- ANUPAMA CHOPRA

There are select actors who qualify for the phrase: Poetry in motion. Tiger Shroff is one of them.

He leaps and pirouettes across the screen with the grace of an athlete.

Action is what he was born to do but after more than a decade in front of the camera, Shroff is eager to mix it up. He chats about that, his entrepreneurial streak and why movement is essential at The Hollywood Reporter India's League of Excellence powered by BMW India.

ATHLETE’S EDGE

THR INDIA: You thought about being a professional athlete, but then brought that mentality to movies. How has that helped your career?

TIGER SHROFF: I owe it all to that because you have to be so disciplined as an athlete. I just channelise that same discipline and work ethic. If you channelise an athlete’s mindset and routine into any sort of field, it’s of great help, for sure.
