For the unversed, Jackie Shroff’s mother, Rita Shroff had died of a stroke in 2014. Talking about the same, in an interview with a leading daily, Jackie had revealed that he had loved his mother too much and had dreamt about her thrice a week. 

The Aaina actor had said, “My mom got a stroke and I didn’t know. When we lived in a small room at Teen Batti, if she coughed I could hear and could immediately say, ‘Kya hua mom, kya hua pa?’ When we moved to a bigger house in Bandra, mom had her room, papa had his room and I had mine and so I came to know in the morning that she had died. If I’d come to know in the night I could have taken her to the hospital. Toh kya mila, kya gaya maloom nahin, samjha na bhau? I loved my mom too much. But I always ask myself that if I loved her so much, why didn’t I burn myself with her. I get vivid dreams about my mother thrice a week. I go to my old house in my dreams and go sit with her and press her feet, sitting down besides her.” 

Jackie’s mother was his pillar of strength and her death was the biggest loss in his life. Talking further in the interview, Jackie had added, “I don’t like throwing my grief on anyone and so don't have an emotional anchor. But losing my mother was my biggest loss in life and even today she remains my biggest strength.” 

This episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 will be aired on 24 September, on Sony Entertainment Television.
