Known for his stunts, fitness, action sequences, dance moves and more, this time we discovered Shroff has aerophobia but his co-star Kumar was kind enough to help him out of it. Scroll further to know more information about our guests, watch the video linked below.

By Doing This, Akshay Kumar Tried To Ease Tiger Shroff’s Aerophobia

One of the essential topics to discuss on our show is travel. When we talked about their travel plans, Tiger said that he doesn’t like to travel much because he has aerophobia. Aerophobia is the extreme fear of flying. 

Tiger avoids flying and travelling as much as possible. But due to the nature of his job, he often has to fly and this condition makes it difficult for him to fly. Tiger shared with us that he can’t sit in his seat when the plane is in the sky.

During the filming of their latest movie, they flew together several times and Akshay helped him ease his fear. Akshay tried to talk him out of his aerophobia by distracting him with a game of ludo and tried to make him sit down in his seat. When this didn’t work, Akshay gave a pep talk to him but it was all in vain! Tiger’s fear was greater than Akshay’s convincing skills.

He Has A Weird Way Of Flying

We were curious to know how aerophobic Tiger flew and Akshay answered all our queries. To combat Tiger’s aerophobia, he remains standing up throughout the ride! Tiger would only sit down when it was time to take off or land. 

Tiger revealed that he developed his fear of flying due to extreme turbulence and can’t sit when the plane is flying. In the end, his co-star even teased him for not utilising his comfy seat despite paying for first-class tickets!
