In the interview when Jackie was asked in what way has fatherhood changed him, he replied, “I became more responsible. I was a little reckless back in the day; I would do all kinds of stunts, like jump from a motorcycle, or break my leg, or tear my muscles. But now I’ve become more cautious because of my kids. I want to live a long healthy life and be there for my children. Fatherhood has definitely made me more aware of how to take care of myself for them.”
Krishna also shared how she cherishes every moment with her father and loves to spend time with the entire family. “He always says silence is golden and to listen more than you speak. You can be in a room full of people, but you don’t need to be the loudest person in the room. Be a silent observer, the more you observe the more knowledge you can obtain. That’s something I’ve taken from him,” she added.
Jackie married Ayesha on June 5, 1987. They have two children–daughter Krishna Shroff and a son-actor Tiger Shroff. Jackie was last seen in Mast Mein Rehne Kaa. Tiger recently performed in the opening ceremony of the IPL in Chennai. He is awaiting the release of his next with Akshay Kumar, titled Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
