Bollywood action star Tiger Shroff, known for his chiseled physique, dynamic dance moves, and high-octane stunts, has once again found himself at the center of social media chatter—but this time, not for his fitness or films. A casual video of the actor playing cricket outdoors has gone viral for an entirely unexpected reason: his choice of clothing.
The clip, which began circulating across platforms like Instagram and Twitter, shows Tiger playing a fun, relaxed game of cricket, seemingly with friends or team members. Dressed in just a pair of gym shorts and sneakers, he’s seen swinging the bat with ease. While some fans praised his athleticism and fitness, others zeroed in on his attire—or the lack of it.
Soon, the comments section was flooded with sarcastic quips, memes, and jibes from netizens. A wave of trolling followed, with one user mockingly asking, “Doesn’t he have clothes?” while another wrote, “Bhai, bas shorts mein cricket? At least wear a T-shirt!” A third chimed in, “He’s always shirtless—what’s the obsession? Is he allergic to fabric?”
As the conversation gained momentum, many criticized Tiger for what they deemed as unnecessary exhibitionism, while others defended him, pointing out that he was simply enjoying a casual game and that his wardrobe choice shouldn’t be such a big deal.
One fan wrote in his support, “Let the man breathe. He’s probably just working out and playing a quick game. Why are we making everything a controversy?” Others agreed, noting that Tiger has always been known for his no-fuss, workout-heavy lifestyle, where comfort seems to take precedence over fashion.
Still, the trolling didn’t stop. The hashtag #TigerShroff trended briefly as more memes popped up showing him in digitally edited scenarios—playing football, riding a bike, or attending a red carpet in shorts, all as part of the internet’s running joke.
Despite the criticism, Tiger himself has not responded to the comments, staying true to his usual practice of not engaging in online negativity. In fact, the actor has often been admired for maintaining silence amidst trolling, choosing to focus on his craft, fitness, and upcoming projects instead of reacting to public noise.
This isn’t the first time Tiger has drawn attention for his wardrobe—or lack thereof. Known for often stepping out shirtless post-workouts or during beach vacations, he has carved a niche as one of Bollywood’s most fitness-conscious celebrities. While his fans celebrate this aspect of his image, critics occasionally call him out for seemingly flaunting it too often.
The incident highlights the hypercritical gaze that celebrities are often under—where even their most mundane, personal moments are dissected under the lens of public scrutiny. In Tiger’s case, what might have been a harmless moment of sport and leisure turned into a trending topic online.
As of now, Tiger Shroff is gearing up for his next action film and continues to share glimpses of his intense workout sessions on social media. Whether he chooses to address the trolling or not, one thing is certain—he remains unfazed and focused, continuing to do what he does best: push physical boundaries and entertain fans with his dynamic energy.
Perhaps, in a world obsessed with appearances, Tiger’s nonchalant attitude is a quiet rebellion of its own.
