Many reasons.
Obviously being Jaggu Dada's boy is the stepping stone reason, as Jaggu Dada is quite popular with, respected by and looked upto with single screen, launde lapade audience. Not saying they rush to watch his movies, but they do hold him in high regard because of his personality.
His movies heropanti was an instant hit, he found an audience right from that movie due to action and dance, and the major backlash he got in that was his girly looks and voice, he somehow managed to reverse it with Baaghi 1, while his movies like Munna Micheal and Flying Jatt flopped hard, but both had their songs and the movie themselves being super hit in the television.
Also one of the weird things, which many don't notice but almost all Tiger movie has at least one dialogue which the nukaad ke taporis picked up and still going around the country, sometimes these small things also make an impact, which people don't notice.
Tiger has also been doing kinda clean movies(SOTY asides), meaning family friendly ones(nowadays families don't care much about the pappi scenes), had an on screen image of the action star who saves the day while his off screen image is the humble boy(as most people don't read blinds), the perfect recipe of the Indian masses darling star. Plus lets be honest his action is unique, yes Vidyut is better, but Tiger is smart as he uses signature moves which remains with the audience, plus no other main stream big star can do even half of what he does in action.
Also last but not the list, but having a hot gf, also makes chichoras looking upto you and try to copy the characteristics. And Tiger has arguably the most liked(lusted) current male audience heart throb as his gf.
I don't think we can pin point one factor, but his humble boy image and the action star image has won him a huge section of single screen audience.
Plus Baaghi 2 , has made him something else, the single screen where I go, the workers over there still talk about that and the hysteria it created. For them Tiger is the biggest young star, because they never any other young stars movie doing that well as Baaghi 2 did. Obviously that is a very very very tiny sample(can't even call it sample), but you get the point.
I think all factors like good boy image, good bf, the heroic action star image with his own unique and eye catching action style and dance style, Jaggu Dada's credibility and doing movies which have some impact on the single screen audience are the reasons why Tiger has such connect with the masses. Obviously he needs to be doing movies which hide his weakness, give more spotlight to his action , while also being decent story to maintain it, or else he will also fall hard like all action stars, who run out of plots after a time.
