Despite being a Bollywood action star, Tiger Shroff has opened up about a fear that completely contrasts her on-screen persona. Known for performing high-risk stunts with ease, the actor recently revealed that he suffers from aerophobia and is looking into therapy to combat it.Interestingly, his father Jackie Shroff rose to fame playing various roles in all languages, Tiger has largely been associated with action films since his debut in the Sabbir Khan-directed Heropanti (2014). From War to the Baaghi franchise, he has consistently delivered power-packed performances while maintaining the chiseled physique that complements his action figure.
“I have aerophobia…I plan to go to a therapist”
Opening up about his fear in an interview with Lilly Singh, Tiger said: “I’m actually planning on going to a therapist because I have aerophobia. A couple of years ago, I was on a very turbulent flight and… I have no control over a turbulent flight, right? What do I do?”She added: “Since then, every time I have to board a flight, I have anxiety for a couple of days before. For some reason, I still can’t get over it.’
“Who will tell my mind that?”
While the actor understands the logic behind aviation security, he admitted that fear takes hold in the moment.“Statistics say that flying is the safest form of transportation. I’ve talked to a lot of pilots, and they all say that turbulence is just like bumpy roads. That’s the analogy they keep giving me. But who’s to tell me that? When it happens, it’s a different story,” he said.Tiger reflected on his need for control, saying, “I wish I had control over it. I like to control every part of my body. I like to know what I’m doing.”
“It’s really frustrating sometimes”
The actress admitted that overthinking creeps into other aspects of her life.“Sometimes it’s very frustrating because sometimes I’m indecisive, even about how to organize my day so that I can maximize my potential,” he admitted.The actor was last seen in Baaghi 4.
