Tiger has been in the film industry for over a decade. The actor is known for his action-packed films, impressive dance moves and martial arts skills. But not everyone knows that Tiger was not the name he was given at birth. His childhood nickname, however, eventually became the name the world knows him by. The reason was rather unusual: he would bite people around him, including those at school. “I used to bite as a kid … like bite everyone around. The habit sometimes landed him in trouble. Akshay was amused by the revelation and responded, “That’s amazing. The actor also explained how his birth name came together. His father’s real name is Jai Kishen, while his uncle is named Hemant. My name was Jai Hemant. My father’s name is Jai Kishen, which became Jackie in the movies. My uncle’s name is Hemant and that is how it became Jai Hemant Shroff. Since childhood, people just kept calling me Tiger and that’s how it became my name.
Recalling one such incident, he said, “I bit my teacher in school, and even got punished for that. “I used to bite people when I was a kid and that is pretty much how I got my name,” he said. He said, “It was my way of showing affection in greeting people, seedha kaat leta tha (I just used to bite them). I officially changed my name in the movies as well” Speaking to the media, Eknath said the actor had suffered injuries to his left hand from gunpowder and glass fragments. “I met with the actor; he has injuries on his left hand caused by gunpowder and shards of glass.”
