In the modern Bollywood action genre, no actor has built a career as dedicatedly around stunt-and-dance choreography as Tiger Shroff. The Mumbai-born son of veteran Bollywood star Jackie Shroff and producer Ayesha Shroff, who debuted in Heropanti (2014) at 23, and over the next decade headlined the Baaghi franchise, Munna Michael, War (2019, with Hrithik Roshan), and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) — is one of the most physically committed action stars in contemporary Hindi cinema. Behind every aerial kick sat a famous father whose own career had transformed Hindi-cinema action in the late 1980s.

The Family's Roots: The Shroff–Dadlani Mumbai Cinema Family

The Shroff family of Tiger's father Jackie was originally from Udaipur, Rajasthan, with mixed Marwari and Maharashtrian heritage. The family has been deeply embedded in the Mumbai cinema community since Jackie's 1983 debut.

Tiger was born Jai Hemant Shroff on 2 March 1990 in Mumbai.

His Father: Jackie Shroff

Jaikishan "Jackie" Shroff, born 1 February 1957 in Mumbai, is one of the most iconic Hindi-cinema leading men of the 1980s and 1990s. He has acted in over 220 films across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Punjabi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, and English cinema. He debuted in Hero (1983) and was awarded the Padma Shri in 2024.

His Mother: Ayesha Shroff

Ayesha Shroff née Dutt is a former model and producer who has produced several of Jackie's and the family's projects. She is of Belgian-Indian heritage on her mother's side.

His Sister: Krishna Shroff

Krishna Shroff, born 27 January 1993, is Tiger's younger sister. She is an entrepreneur — she has co-founded MMA Matrix, a mixed-martial-arts gym chain — and a fitness personality. She has been seen in some film and television cameos.

Tiger's Path

Tiger was a competitive gymnast and competitive footballer as a teenager before deciding to focus on Bollywood. He trained in martial arts including taekwondo (5th-degree black belt) and parkour for years before his debut.

What the Shroff Family Story Teaches Us

A father who was one of the most-watched leading men of the 1980s. A producer mother of Indo-Belgian heritage. A sister who is an entrepreneur. A son who chose to extend the father's action-cinema lineage rather than break from it. The Shroff family tree is a multi-generational cinema family — and a reminder that some children do choose to follow the parent's profession.

For every family — large or small, famous or otherwise — the Shroff story carries the same lesson. Children who carry forward a parent's profession are not less their own people for it. Tiger is the next chapter of a Shroff cinema story that began in 1983 — but he is also entirely himself, with his own physical training, his own martial-arts black belts, his own work. Write down what each generation added to what came before. The continuity and the additions are both part of the tree.
