EXCLUSIVE: Jackie Shroff REVEALS how son Tiger Shroff bought back the house they lost due to bankruptcy

On the occasion of Father’s Day, we had a chat with Jackie Shroff and his daughter Krishna Shroff.  In the interview, Jackie not only spoke about his kids but also revealed how life was in a Teen Batti chawl with his parents battling financial crunch, how he battled his financial troubles and bankruptcy when they also lost their home. But, Tiger Shroff promised his parents that he would get the house back and he did.

While talking about his childhood, Jackie said, “I never desired for anything in my life. I was happy with what I had. My mother gave me a lot of warmth all the time. She never let me feel that I didn’t have anything in my hand. There was always some kind of money she always gave me when I went out, gave me all the love and freedom that I wanted. So, the struggle part was nothing I feel. My parents, my family struggled. I started working two years after leaving the school but I was lucky that I was discovered on the road to be a model. So, basically, my mother’s blessings have been always with me  I feel and that’s what got me into modeling. It was the struggle of my parents that I saw. My struggle was nothing because things kept falling in my hands without asking for it from God. God knew what I wanted.”

He added, “I worked my socks off. I worked day and night for 12 or maybe 14 hours in a day nonstop.” But Jackie and his wife Ayesha Shroff never let their kids know about the struggles they went through.

On bankruptcy, Jackie said, “I knew that we tried something and we lost something. If I had to pay for it, I’d pay. I had worked as much as I could and we repaid everybody so that my family’s name gets clear. Business mein up down hota hi hai, yeh zaroori nahi hai ki hum hamesha upar hi rahenge. Kabhi upar niche hota hai, but you need to know how to keep your sanity and ethics.”

As promised by Tiger, he got the house back for his parents, “I’m just proud of both my children. They are strong enough to get the house back; my wife didn’t want it back. She said, ‘Let it be, what’s gone is gone’. But his thought was nice, his thought was beautiful that he wants to make a house for his mother and his family. I think that runs in the genes. I am lucky to have both these children who have given me happiness always without asking for anything,” said Jackie.

He further said, “They are sincere and straightforward and have no malice for anybody. They are decent people”
