Jackie Shroff Is Special And Not Just On His Birthday: 5 Unknown Facts About The Actor
Jackie Shroff is known for his swag and unmatched style. Here are 5 facts about the senior actor
Jackie Shroff is Bollywood's one of the most stylish and talented stars. There are a number of facts which many may not know about the senior actor. Here are a few of them:
1. Unlike some of his brassy publicity-hungry colleagues, Jackie Shroff is very shy in public. He hates talking about himself. And if you insist on doing an interview with him, he will speak in mumbled half-sentences, and ask you to fill in the gaps. Once his most constant male co-star asked him, 'why doesn’t he market himself better?' and he replied, “Because I am not a bar of soap,” Jackie mumbled.
2. He loves to sing. Rather than converse he will sing to himself. His favourite singers are Mohd Rafi and Kishore Kumar. He loves Rafi Saab’s Main zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya from his favorite film Humdono. Jackie also sang on screen for his own character in Shiva Ka Insaaf.
3. Jackie starred in the first 3D film in Hindi Shiva Ka Insaaf in which he played a super-hero, Zorro mask and all. Jackie’s son Tiger sought inspiration from his father for The Flying Jatt where he played a super-hero. Farq itna hai, Jackie’s super-hero flew. Tiger’s sank.
4. Jackie’s favourite actor is Dev Anand whom he unabashedly idolized and copied in his earlier days. Jackie also had a crush on Asha Parekh. When he finally met her, he couldn’t stop blushing.
5. Though Jackie is a month younger than Anil, he played Anil’s older brother in Ram Lakhan. When I once asked Jackie about this, he gave me a classic reply. “Kya farq padta hai, Dost? Dev Saab was older than all of us. Yet he was the youngest hero of Indian cinema.”
