As someone who is ‘extremely connected’ to his work, actor Tiger Shroff says the poor performance of his last release Heropanti 2 has left him heartbroken.

Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film released theatrically in April and received middling reviews from the critics.

Heropanti 2 was billed as a big-screen action spectacle but its box office score was far from spectacular.

Speaking on the sidelines of IIFA Rocks 2022, Shroff said he tackles failures by immersing himself in work.

"It was definitely heartbreaking. I'm extremely connected to all my movies. So it takes a toll on me every time if a film doesn't work. I bounce back by immersing myself in work. The show must go on," the 32-year-old actor told reporters.

The film, a sequel to the actor's 2014 actioner of the same title, also featured Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Tara Sutaria.

Shroff is set to perform at the IIFA Awards night on Saturday and the actor said he is "excited, nervous" because it has been a long time since he performed live.

"I hope people like it. It's a high energetic track which the audience expects from me," he added.

The main awards evening will see superstar Salman Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, and Maniesh Paul as hosts.

Besides Shroff, the ceremony will also have performances by Shahid Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Divya Khosla Kumar, and Nora Fatehi.

The IIFA Awards will take place at the Etihad Arena, part of Yas Bay Waterfront on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

The event is being held in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), and Miral.

Deepika Padukone returns to the runway as Sabyasachi’s first Bollywood muse for his 25th anniversary show

When Sabyasachi Mukherjee decided to mark his 25th year in fashion with a grand showcase, he broke one of his own long-standing rules by inviting Deepika Padukone to open the show. It was the first time he ever brought a Bollywood star onto his runway, and he’s clear it will likely be the last. But for Deepika, he made an exception.

“I’ve never featured Bollywood at my shows,” Sabyasachi admitted. “But for my 25th anniversary, I wanted it to be personal. Deepika was the only person I could think of who carries the essence of what I believe in: tradition, modernity, and a certain quiet strength that speaks for India on a global stage.”

Kareena Kapoor tells Gillian Anderson the reason why she turns down intimate scenes

Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most loved stars, has spent over two decades making deliberate choices about the roles she takes. One of those decisions is steering clear of sex scenes on screen, a stance she recently explained in a conversation with Gillian Anderson for The Dirty Magazine.

Kareena was upfront about her reasons. “I’ve never felt the need to do it,” she said. For her, intimacy doesn’t have to be shown explicitly to tell a compelling story. “I don’t think it’s necessary to push a narrative forward,” she added, making it clear that such scenes have never been part of her creative comfort zone. Unlike many in the industry, she’s never seen them as essential to her craft.

Alia Bhatt opens up on ADHD, anxiety & motherhood: “I’m doing it my way”

Alia Bhatt recently opened up about her personal struggles with mental health during a quiet media meet held before her birthday. Surrounded by close friends, journalists, and her husband Ranbir Kapoor, Alia cut her cake early this year ahead of turning 32. But instead of making the gathering just about celebrations, she took a moment to speak honestly about her journey with ADHD, anxiety, and how she’s learning to cope.

Alia, in her usual straightforward way, explained how therapy has become a key part of her life. “I go to therapy once a week. It clears my head. I’m not someone who can meditate regularly or follow strict routines, but I’ve realised that just being aware of how I’m feeling helps a lot,” she said. She was open about how her emotions often take over, especially in overwhelming situations. “I get caught up sometimes; I feel my emotions physically. It’s hard to stay present in those moments, but knowing what’s happening inside me helps me get through them,” she added.
