After a video of actor Tiger Shroff playing cricket in tight black underwear went viral, the actor caused quite a stir on the internet.
The video, which was taken during a friendly match with choreographer Ganesh Acharya and others, showcased Tiger's athletic prowess, but his unusual attire was the main topic of discussion.
The Singham Again star stood out from the other players by dressing in tight, simple clothing, which sparked a wave of memes, trolling, and conflicting views on social media.
The video, a montage of energetic and playful moments, showcased Tiger’s well-known agility and sculpted physique. However, viewers were more intrigued—and in some cases, baffled—by his wardrobe choice.
The attire drew reactions ranging from humour to criticism, with one netizen commenting, “Playing cricket is okay, but why just shorts? If we try this, people will beat us up.” Another quipped, “Iske paas kapde nahi hain?” voicing a common reaction among viewers who found the look too revealing for a casual public game.
More serious critiques also emerged. “Tiger, have some self-respect. You’re someone’s future husband. Who will marry you if you post like this?” read one comment. The situation also sparked conversations around gender norms and double standards. A pointed remark stated, “If a girl had posted a similar video in minimal clothing, she would have been mercilessly trolled. Why is there a different rule for men?”
Despite the backlash, a number of fans came to Tiger’s defence, praising his dedication to fitness and freedom to dress as he pleases. Comments such as “That body is pure gym goals,” and “Let the man enjoy his cricket in peace,” reflected a more supportive stance from parts of the fanbase.
After starring with Akshay Kumar in the action-packed Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Tiger Shroff's most recent professional appearance was in Singham Again. Tiger's performance was met with ambivalence, as both reviewers and audiences gave the movie mixed reviews, despite Singham Again doing fairly well at the box office.
Tiger Shroff has once again demonstrated that he knows how to keep the internet buzzing, whether he is praised or criticised.
