Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Tiger Shroff's Terrifying Flight Phobia: Even Action Heroes Get Scared! Imagine leaping off the roof of the Grand Hyatt into a swimming pool without a second thought—but breaking into a sweat 10 days before boarding a plane. That's the surreal reality for Bollywood's **Tiger Shroff**, who has revealed his battle with **aerophobia** after a nightmare turbulent flight.[1][2][3] Tiger, famed for his death-defying stunts in blockbuster films, opened up in interviews about how this fear crept in. "Recently, I've developed this fear of flying. I was on a very turbulent flight a couple of years back, and since then I've had aerophobia," he shared with *The Hollywood Reporter*. While he'd tackle any high-risk stunt on set—"ask me to jump off the roof of the Grand Hyatt into the swimming pool. I can do that without thinking"—the mere anticipation of flying triggers heart-skipping anxiety days in advance.[2][3][4] His mind plays tricks, turning routine travel into a mental marathon, despite his profession demanding constant flights.

But Tiger isn't letting it ground him. The fitness fanatic channels his anxiety into **intense workouts**, calling physical movement his personal therapy. "I channel it through my physicality and physical expression. That's therapy for me," he explained. His trainers often have to rein him in, as rest feels impossible when his mind races with fears of "muscles disappearing."[2][3][4] Now, reports suggest he's planning professional help—potentially therapy—to conquer this phobia once and for all, proving even superhumans seek support.[1] **Aerophobia**, or aviophobia, affects many, triggered by turbulence, claustrophobia, or past scares. Symptoms include panic attacks, sweating, nausea, and intense anxiety, especially during takeoff. Treatments range from progressive muscle relaxation (tensing and releasing muscle groups mid-flight) to exposure therapy and hypnosis for severe cases.[1][5] It's a reminder that vulnerabilities hide behind every tough exterior—travel pros, actors, or you. What about you? Ever felt your heart race before a flight?
