Throwback: When Tiger Shroff revealed he had his first girlfriend at 25

Tiger Shroff made headlines earlier this year, not for his upcoming film "Bade Miyan Chote Miyan," but for sharing details about his personal life. During an event in Mumbai to promote his action film with Akshay Kumar, Tiger engaged in a playful conversation with fellow actor Varun Dhawan.

Known for being reserved, Tiger Shroff opened up about his love life.He admitted that he didn’t have a girlfriend until he was 25. He shared, “I got my first girlfriend when I was 25, during the audition for my first film.” As he was recounting this, Varun Dhawan humorously interrupted, asking, “Kriti Sanon?” This remark left the audience laughing. However, Tiger clarified that it wasn’t Kriti Sanon, saying, “No, no, this was after my debut film.”
Tiger Shroff’s acting debut was in 2014 with "Heropanti," where he starred alongside Kriti Sanon. Despite rumors linking him to Disha Patani, with whom he was often seen and even vacationed, their relationship eventually ended after a few years.

Tiger Shroff, once a box office favorite, is experiencing a rough patch with three consecutive big-budget flops: Heropanti 2, Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. However, filmmaker Ahmed Khan, who has directed Tiger in Baaghi 2, Baaghi 3, and Heropanti 2, believes that there's no need to panic. He asserts that Tiger is just one film away from bouncing back to superstardom.

When asked about Tiger's current career struggles and if he needs to make drastic changes, Ahmed told Siddharth Kannan that the audience's disappointment is valid. However, he praised Tiger's dedication and work ethic. "Usually, people say, ‘You have to work hard, but for Tiger you have to say, ‘Mehnat mat kar!’ Now what advice would you give him? He comes on time, he has got no problem on sets, he will do whatever you ask him to. Ek actor ko kya chahiye? Does he have a body? Yes. Looks? Yes. Can he dance? Yes. Can he do action? Yes. Acting? Usko kaunsi Ardh Satya karni hai, ya Garam Masala jaisi art film karni hai,” he said.
