Tiger Shroff’s birth name is Jai Hemant Shroff. Jai comes from his father Jackie Shroff’s real name (Jaikishan) and Hemant comes from his uncle’s name.
He got the nickname Tiger because as a child, he had a habit of biting and scratching people. He used to do it even while greeting them or showing affection.
Tiger was very hyperactive and aggressive as a child and would always fight, jump and pounce around the house. The family gave him the name Tiger because he used to bite like a tiger. Even Subhash Ghai was in love with the nickname.
Later, when he started doing martial arts, gymnastics and had that intense stare, the nickname Tiger stuck perfectly.
By the time he made his Bollywood debut, the nickname had become so familiar that he himself decided to use it professionally.
