Tiger Shroff asked if he is a virgin, actor gives EPIC Salman Khan-style response
Seems like season 2 of Arbaaz Khan’s talk show ‘Quick Heal Pinch by Arbaaz Khan’ has become the talk of the town yet again and for all the right reasons.
With guests like Salman Khan and Ayushmann Khurana who graced the season recently making headlines for their views on the show, in the third episode, actor Tiger Shroff, son of veteran star Jackie Shroff, is all set to take fans by surprise with his witty comebacks and frank answers.
In a new promo video for the third episode of Arbaaz Khan’s talk show, Tiger opened up about the trolling he has been subjected to for his looks ever since he stepped foot in the industry. For the unversed, Tiger made his Hindi film debut with Kriti Sanon in ‘Heropanti’. And during his initial few years, he was often trolled for looking like a ‘heroine more than a ‘hero’.
However, as Tiger says in the promo, he played to his strengths and carved a niche for himself as an action hero and there’s no denying he is one of the most bankable action stars and loved actors of recent times.
In the one-minute promo video, Arbaaz is seen hurling a few mean comments made by social media users at Tiger Shroff, and the latter is seen calmly offering context and explanations, taking every comment to his stride.
Tiger is seen confessing that he did receive a lot of hate for his looks in the initial years of his career. He is heard saying in Hindi, “Before the release also, I used to be trolled a lot for my looks. People used to say, ‘is he a hero or a heroine? He doesn’t look like Jackie dada’s son at all.’ I took a different path deliberately and played to play to my strengths.”
When Arbaaz read a comment which read, “Aapke paas sab kuch hai, bas daadi nahi hai (You have everything, except a beard),” Tiger pointed at his bearded face, and instantly replied, “Yeh kya hai bhai (What’s this, then)’?”
About trolling, Tiger said, “If you’re being trolled or bullied, it’s only because you’ve made an impact. Whatever I am today, it’s because of the audiences… As long I’m number one in your heart, that’s what matters to me.”
When asked if he was a virgin, Tiger replied, “Like Salman bhai, I am a virgin.”
For the uninitiated, Tiger was making a reference to Salman Khan’s infamous ‘virgin’ comment Salman made in an appearance on Koffee with Karan.
Arbaaz’s talk show will see a few more celebrated guests before it comes to an end such as Farah Khan, Ananya Panday, and others.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Tiger has ‘Baaghi 4’, ‘Ganapath’, ‘Heropanti 2’ in the pipeline.
