Known for his action-packed roles and effortless dance moves, Tiger Shroff recently revealed a more vulnerable side—his ongoing struggle with aerophobia, or fear of flying. In a candid conversation with Lilly Singh, the actor shared that his anxiety begins days before boarding a flight.
He traced the fear back to a turbulent flight experience a few years ago, which left a lasting impact. Despite understanding that air travel is statistically safe and even receiving reassurance from pilots, Tiger admitted that logic often fails during moments of turbulence. “It feels different when you’re actually in it,” he explained, highlighting the lack of control as a major trigger.
The actor also spoke about his need for control in daily life, which sometimes leads to indecision and frustration. He mentioned considering therapy to better manage his anxiety.
This honest revelation offers a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by even the most confident public figures, reminding fans that anxiety can affect anyone, regardless of success or image.
