Jackie Shroff has always been the epitome of grounded wisdom and effortless style in Bollywood. Who can forget his cheeky yet meaningful advice on International Yoga Day, when he told a paparazzo, “Saans le, lamba saans le aur shaanti” (Breathe. Take a deep breath and be peaceful).”
Well, that iconic moment just got a fresh spin, thanks to video creator Ansh Dhote.
Dhote recently shared a video featuring Shroff‘s calming words turned into a motivational piece. The clip starts with the memorable line, followed by the word shaanti (meaning peace) in bold, setting the tone. What follows is a portrayal of Dhote as an everyday man, navigating the chaos of daily life, all while Shroff’s voice echoes in the background: “Itna chilarela hai, heart ke lafde ho jaayenge (If you shout so much, your heart will be in trouble).”
Shroff’s advice resonates deeply as he says, “Araam se reh,” reminding us to slow down and take care of ourselves. The video captures the struggles people face and Shroff’’s voiceover adding a deeper layer: “Saans pe dhyaan rakh, baaki kuch kaam ka nahi hai (Focus on your breath, rest is of no use).”
The clip wraps up with his ultimate life mantra: “Aaya saans tha, gaya saans gaya, phir kaheko itna tension le raha hai (When we we born, we breathed, when we die, we won’t, then why are you worrying so much)?”
