Jackie Shroff is one of the handsome heroes of Bollywood. His bad boy image and strong personality never missed a chance to etch a special place in the hearts of his millions of fans. Thus, he left many girls heartbroken when he married his ladylove, Ayesha Shroff on June 5, 1987. Afterwards, the couple was blessed with two children, a daughter, Krishna Shroff and a son, Tiger Shroff. Now, Jackie revealed that it was only after the birth of his kids that he stopped being a little reckless.
In an interview with GQ India, Jackie Shroff was asked about becoming a parent to his kids, Tiger Shroff and Krishna Shroff. To this, he mentioned how he became more responsible post embracing fatherhood. He shared how, initially, he was a bit reckless and used to do several kinds of stunts. Later, he admitted that he became more cautious only because of his kids. He explained:
“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.”

In the same conversation, Jackie's doting daughter, Krishna was also present. Thus, after listening to her daddy's words, Krishna shared how she cherishes every moment with her father. Then, the doting daughter added the valuable words that she learnt from her father and elaborated:
“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.”
Earlier, in an interaction with his daughter, Krishna on her YouTube channel, Jackie had recalled the initial stages of his love story with wife, Ayesha. The actor recalled how the meeting with his ladylove’s family for the first time went and remarked that Ayesha’s mother had instantly rejected him. He also mentioned that his clothes and appearance were shabby at that time, which no mother would ever want to see in their son-in-law. Further in the conversation, Jackie revealed that after facing an initial rejection from Ayesha’s family, he tidied himself and dressed better. He showed how he completely changed his clothing style and spoke to impress his wife’s family, especially her mother.

Not only Jackie but Ayesha too, admitted how her family, especially her mother was completely against her marriage with Jackie. In a previous interview with Zoom Entertainment, Ayesha Shroff opened up about the past when the duo was keen on getting married. She mentioned that their relationship faced considerable rejection from Ayesha’s mother, who wasn’t impressed with Jackie’s look and personality, especially bad-boy boy image. Talking more about it, Ayesha revealed:
“When I started dating my husband, my mother had completely banned it because he was like ‘Jaggu dada’. And then of course there are people who fill your ears and say ‘he is such a bad boy.’ So I used to sneak out and meet him.”
On the work front, Jackie was last seen in the film, Mast Mein Rehne Kaa, and will be next seen with Akshay Kumar, in the film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
