Tuesday, 6th May 2014, 06:40 PM IST Since the trailer launch of the movie ‘Heropanti’, there was a barrage of jokes on the film’s lead actor, Tiger Shroff’s appearance and his name as well. However, the newbie’s family find the criticism aimed at him rather amusing. “It is no coincidence that the minute Jackie's son's trailer and first song went viral there were all these nasty taunts and barbs about him. Some A-listers have been openly sniggering about not just Tiger but the whole new brigade that has come in to threaten their unchallenged hegemony. The mean comments about Tiger on Twitter are a manifestation of the widespread insecurity that the new breed has caused among the established stars," said a prominent filmmaker who requested anonymity. Tiger’smother Ayesha finds the criticism levelled at him amusing, stating that "I'd like to take it in a humorous spirit. The tremendous outpouring of love and appreciation Tiger has so far got for his hard work and for being the person that he is, are I think the most befitting reply to all the nasty comments. The naysayers can eat their heart out or get as mean as they like, Tiger is here to stay." "Perhaps these taunts are orchestrated. I can't really say. But in any case these comments are only a drop in the ocean. By and large the response to Tiger has been positive, happy and encouraging. Every potentially great personality has faced his share of ridicule at some point in his life and career," said Ayesha. |
