- Jackie Shroff’s wife Ayesha had written a letter to her girlfriend.
- As he clocks his 66th birthday.
- We bring you an old interview during which he spoke about the incident.
Jackie Shroff once recalled how Ayesha Shroff wrote a letter to her then-girlfriend before their marriage suggesting that they both get married to the actor and “live like sisters.” We present you with an old interview from when he was 66 years old in which he discussed the occurrence.
In 2002, Simi Garewal questioned Jackie how he came to the realization that “it was the real thing” with Ayesha Shroff during their conversation on her talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal.
The first time I said she was truly in love with me, Jackie said, “Was when she wrote a letter to a friend of mine whom I was in love with before she came in.” “His girlfriend before me,” Ayesha remarked.
Jackie continued, “She went away to the US, maybe to do a course and she said she will come back. Meanwhile, I met her and fell in love with her. So, I told her that I love the girl who is in the US and she is gonna come back. Trust me she has gone there to…And she said, ‘Let me write a letter to her’. She wrote a letter to her saying once you come back, we will live like sisters and get married to Jackie together’. So I would have two wives. She did it.”
On June 5, 1987, Jackie and Ayesha exchanged wedding vows. Krishna Shroff, a daughter, and Tiger Shroff, an actor, are their two children. Ayesha posted a series of pictures of him on his birthday with the captions, “Happy birthday to the best husband, parent, son, friend, actor, and all-around human being! @apnabhidu And even that isn’t even close to expressing it.”
Tiger shared a video and throwback photo on Instagram Stories. He noted: “I adore you a lot. Father, happy birthday.” Additionally, Krishna uploaded a video of herself and her father. She tagged it with, “To my fullest (heart). Today and always will be my happiest days.”
Jackie, also referred to as Jaggu Dada, has worked in the movie business for more than 40 years. More than 220 movies use him as an actor. With the 1982 film Swami Dada, the actor made his acting debut. The actor has since gone on to provide some incredible performances in movies like Hero, Ram Lakhan, 1942: A Love Story, Rangeela, among many more.
In the recent horror comedy Phone Bhoot, Jackie appeared alongside Katrina Kaif, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Ishaan Khattar. On Wednesday, the filmmaker Subhash Ghai revealed his newest project with Jackie.
