Jackie Shroff recently opened up about parenthood. The veteran star has a son Tiger Shroff and daughter Krishna Shroff. In a new interview the actor recently opened up on being a father and how he has become ‘more responsible’ now because of his kids.

In an interview with GQ, Jackie shared that fatherhood changed him. “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.”

He added, “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.”

Jackie’s daughter Krishna who was also present with him, shared that she loves to spend time with her father and also revealed an important advice that he gave her. “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.”

Jackie Shroff tied the sacred knot with Ayesha on June 5, 1987. They are proud parents to two children: their daughter, Krishna Shroff, and their son Tiger Shroff.

On the work front, Jackie’s most recent appearance was in ‘Mast Mein Rehne Kaa’. Meanwhile, Tiger recently performed at the opening ceremony of the IPL in Chennai. He is now eagerly awaiting the release of his upcoming film alongside Akshay Kumar, titled ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’. The film is all set to release on April 10, 2024.
