Tiger Shroff is famously polite but the young star has found himself in the middle of a controversy.
In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, the actor said that he does not care about the “padding around him” while answering a question about his female co-stars in Student Of The Year 2.
Two star kids, Sridevi-Boney Kapoor’s daughter Jhanvi, and Chunky Panday’s daughter Ananya, will reportedly star opposite him in the sequel .

When quizzed about it, Tiger replied: “When I work with someone who is my junior, I know exactly what the person is going through. I’ve never felt the need to work with established actresses even though I have had the opportunity to work with the beautiful and fantastic Shraddha Kapoor (Baaghi) and Jacqueline Fernandez (A Flying Jatt). I don’t get involved with the casting at all. I don’t really care about the padding around me. It’s the script and my character that matter.”
And soon enough, the seemingly sexist comment made headlines.

The comment was also seen as a reflection of how “self-absorbed three-film old Tiger is.”
Tiger Shroff was slammed for not showing respect to his co-stars and for reducing them to “accessories in films, whose sole purpose is to make the male hero look good.”

Tiger was earlier criticised for saying that
he liked having girlfriend Disha Patani around because it makes him look good.
