Tiger"My father is always tensed and scared on how the audience will (react)...Accept me or not. Being a son of a talented and great actor like him, there is pressure, and there are expectations. He understands that," Tiger said. "Every star son has to face this thing. I work very hard to make my father and mother proud. That is my goal." According to Tiger, his father loved the trailer of his upcoming film 'Baaghi'. "My family is very happy about this film. My father doesn't speak much but I could sense that he is very happy. The biggest high for me is when my parents are happy." In his debut film 'Heropanti', Tiger stunned everyone with his action and dancing skills. Now for his second film 'Baaghi' the young actor has learnt Kalaripayattu, an ancient martial art form from Kerala.

"Before I met him (Chief Commando Trainer Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bharadwaj) there was pressure. My master is a talented person and praticener of this art. With 'Baaghi' we go ahead and treat the audience with something new to watch on screen," he said. "I have tried my best to do justice to this art form. Whatever I have learnt so far, I want to up my quotient in action," he added.

Through 'Baaghi' the makers wants to promote this art form practised by warriors. "It is about going back to our roots and being proud of what we are. We had martial arts form here but don't know why people were not using it. Everybody in the East wants to be like West and people in West wants to be like East," Tiger said.

New Delhi, Apr 23: As the holy month of Ramzan is about to begin, several Muslim public figures on Thursday appealed to the community to offer tarawih and hold iftar inside their homes and follow the lockdown regulations imposed to tackle the coronavirus threat.

Television actor Iqbal Khan in a video message appealed to the people to not step out of their houses during Ramzan.

"This time around, whatever you do during Ramzan, you have to do it inside your houses. Do not visit mosques; offer tarawih (late evening prayers offered during Ramzan) at your homes. Your stepping outside will not only put you in a problem but may put your family members in trouble also," said Khan.

"And that will be wrong, do not go outside. If anyone says you have to go outside then they are wrong. Stay home and stay safe and help others stay safe too," he added.

Another TV actor and Tik Tok star Jannat Zubair asked people to avoid any kind of social gatherings so as to ensure the safety of everyone.

"I know we are in a difficult situation but there is no need to panic. We will overcome this and things will be fine. The holy month of Ramzan is going to start, please stay home, offer prayers at your homes and avoid family/friends gatherings for now. It is just a matter of time, things will be fine soon. Stay home and stay safe," she said.
Ramzan is likely to begin from April 24.
