Jackie Shroff and his daughter Krishna Shroff appeared for a joint interview recently. The actor spoke about parenthood, his philosophies in life, and his bond with his children in a freewheeling conversation. He also confessed that he’s made some bad business decisions in the past, and spent all his money on cars instead of investing it wisely in property.
When asked, “Who is most likely to spend all their money on something they like,” Jackie told GQ India, “There was a time I used to do it and I regret it. Half of Andheri would have been mine if I hadn’t bought all the cars. So guys, go and invest in property.” The Mast Mein Rehne Ka actor then turned to his daughter and asked, “What about you?” to which Krishna said, “No, I am pretty good with money.” Jackie agreed, and said, “Yeh kanjoos hai (she is stingy)!”
In the interaction, Jackie and Krishna opened up quite a bit about each other. Jackie said that while he is more likely of the two to cry during films, Krishna becomes emotional when she watches something that either he or Tiger is in. She said, “The only time I bawl is when I watch either his (pointing towards Jackie) or Tiger’s movies.” Reacting to Krishna’s revelation, Jackie added, “I can cry for anything if it reminds me of something, the music, or the story…”
When the father-daughter duo was asked who amongst them was more likely to help a stranger, Krishna pointed towards her dad and he said, “Karneka karneka, jitna kar sakta hai karneka (we should do as much as we can for others). Whether they say thank you or not, even if they fool you, we should help. If you can help in your capacity, I go all out, kya farak padta hai bhidu (it doesn’t make a difference to me). You are alive today, tomorrow you won’t be here. Jitna de sakta hai, deneka (give as much as you can).”
While Jackie’s recipe videos keep going viral on social media every now and then, when the two of them were asked who was more likely to cook a delicious meal, Jackie pointed at Krishna. He said, “No diplomacy out here, but the pasta that se made for me, I’ve never eaten (anything) like that in my life.”
Jackie often speaks highly about the achievements of his actor son Tiger Shroff and Krishna, who is a fitness expert. In this interview, he opened up about how fatherhood changed him. He said, “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.”
