Tiger Shroff’s real name

Tiger Shroff has lately been leaving a mark on Bollywood with his effortless martial arts moves and dancing skills. However, a lesser-known fact about Tiger Shroff is that his name was initially Jai Hemant Shroff but was later changed by his father and veteran actor, Jackie Shroff. In many media interactions, Tiger and Jackie have been vocal about how Tiger got the name. When Tiger was a young boy, he had the habit of biting people that he knew, which is why his name was changed to Tiger Shroff.
