Mirror had earlier reported (July 24, 2018) that Tiger Shroff has bought a sprawling eight-bedroom apartment in a plush neighbourhood in the city’s western suburbs. The 29-year-old actor had been hunting for an ideal property for a while and finalised the deal last year.

Now, we have learnt that Tiger will move into his dream house in April next year. According to a source close to the actor, it is being designed to suit his personality and, in a way, that it can house everything he needs. “There are spaces assigned for his workouts, dance practice and official meetings,” the source shared, adding that John Abraham’s interior designer brother Alan is doing up the place, while Tiger’s mother Ayesha Shroff and designer Sussanne Khan have helped with inputs. “Shopping for it is on in full swing.”

In an interview with Mirror (Dec 2018), the actor had admitted to buying a home for the family. “We will move in once it’s ready, maybe in a year or so,” the actor had shared, while his actor-father Jackie Shroff had described it as an “emotional moment”, adding that they never wanted one, but Tiger thought they should have a house and had been slogging to make the dream come true. Proud that the young actor has worked his way to the top, the exuberant father had added, “God is kind, what else can you expect from your child! Tiger is setting an example for other kids to follow. He sleeps by 10.30 pm and is up by 6 am… He respects people and focuses on his craft… He steers clear of malice and is a man on a mission.”

On the work front, Tiger has started shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala’s action thriller, the Ahmed Khan-directed Baaghi 3, with Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead and Riteish Deshmukh as his cop-brother. The actor is scheduled to fly to Serbia in November to kick-start the international schedule of the film.
