There are a lot of veteran Bollywood actors, who are still ruling the hearts of people with their swag and acting. One such incredibly talented and super-cool actor is Jackie Shroff, the man has simply transformed himself with age. No matter whether we talk about his personal life or professional life, he has always been on top of his world and no matter whoever is standing in front of him, the actor never stops himself from unleashing what he feels and thinks about that person. Moving towards his son, Tiger Shroff, then the actor has made his Bollywood debut with hit-film, Heropanti and since then, there has been no looking back for the actor, who is often categorised as the heir of Bollywood’s Greek God, Hrithik Roshan. However, Tiger is a complete contrast image of his dad, Jackie Shroff, as he’s an extremely shy and reserved person. He hardly talks about his relationships and dating rumours openly, and most of the time dodges questions with his sweet charming smile.

Both Disha and Tiger have been spotted at parties, dinner dates, and even on a lot of occasions that it’s hard not to talk about them. Another big reason goes to the fact that Disha shares a beautiful camaraderie with Tiger’s mother, Ayesha Shroff and sister, Krishna Shroff.

Well, talking about the reaction of Jackie Shroff on the speculations of his son being in a relationship with Disha Patani, the veteran actor had a perfect reply to this question during an interview with the Mumbai Mirror. In his typical bhidu style, the actor had stated, “Tiger found his first friend, who is a girl, at 25. Till then he never looked around. They share the same passions, dance and work-out. She comes from a family of army officers, so, she understands the value of discipline. Who knows they may get married in future or remain friends for life? For now, they are just friends."
In the same interview, he had also admitted that he’s proud to see the way his son, Tiger Shroff has made his way to the top. The proud father had explained, “God is kind, what else can you expect from your child! Tiger is setting an example for other kids to follow. He sleeps by 10.30 pm and is up by 6 am… He respects people and focuses on his craft… He steers clear of malice and is a man on a mission. Even for a porcupine, his child is soft, so I won’t say more. Children love him and so do mothers, and grandmothers. I hope it always remains that way.” (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra's Grandma's Concern, 'Who's Going To Marry Her? She Can't Cook' Is Every Dadi Ever)
