His paternal grandfather, Kakubhai Shroff was an astrologer from Gujarat.
His Martial Arts Training

Tiger really had his heart set on sports and martial arts; not acting. In fact, he is thoroughly trained in martial arts which is why he can pull off such massive stunts with ease an finesse. His movies bear testimony to this. He was trained for almost three years by Ziley Mawai. He started martial arts training at the age of 4.
His Idols and beliefs and outlook

He idolizes Hrithik Roshan to the core and no wonder he has such super cool dance moves like Hrithik. He also loves Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson. Although he has starred mostly in action movies and is well-trained in martial arts, he is a Gandhian in the true sense of the term in real life. He abhors violence. He also believes in spirituality.

Tiger Shroff reportedly rejected a remake of the legendary TV series Fauji which featured SRK originally. Subhash Ghai was also very keen on launching him in a remake of his own movie Hero starring his father, Jackie Shroff. Tiger Shroff had, however, declined the offer, as he did not want that obvious comparison with his dad.
