Early Life

Jaikishan Kakubhai Shroff is the complete name of him since his birth in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. His mother, Hoorunnisa , was a Turkmen who escaped Kazakhstan (then the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic under the Russian Soviet Union) during a coup. Hoorunnisa, later converted to Hindu and used the name Rita Shroff after marrying Shroff's father.

His father, Kakubhai Haribhai Shroff, was Gujarati. When there was a coup in Kazakhstan, his maternal grandmother and her seven daughters fled to Ladakh. Prior to travelling to Mumbai, they relocated to Delhi. Shroff's father was a businessman and trader from a Gujarati family. After Haribhai lost everything in the stock market, he was forced to leave the house when Bumrah was just 17 years old. Jackie's parents first met as teenagers and later got married.

Initially, Jackie appeared as a child model in a few Savage perfume adverts. One of his schoolmates gave Shroff the nickname "Jackie," and when director Subhash Ghai introduced him in the movie "Hero", he continued to use it. Before becoming an actor, Shroff lived and grew up in his house in "Teen Batti". Later, he shifted to his new apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, with his wife.

Family & Relationships

Jackie had an affair with Leena Somaiya, who was an author by profession. Also, she was Tina Munim's niece. However, it was never officially said by Jackie Shroff. Later, Shroff married his long-time girlfriend Ayesha Dutt. On June 5, 1987, Ayesha Dutt's birthdate, Shroff wed her. Ayesha is an actress, former model, and an Indian film producer of motion pictures.

A media company called "Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited" is owned by the couple. From the time Sony TV was introduced until 2012, when they sold their share and dissolved their 15-year partnership with Sony TV, they jointly controlled 10% of the company. They have a son named Tiger Shroff (Bollywood actor) and a daughter named Krishna Shroff.

Education

Career

Jackie Shroff left school after his eleventh grade since his family was struggling financially. Due to his lack of qualifications, he tried his hand at working as an apprentice cook at Taj Hotels and as a flight attendant at Air India, but he was turned down for both positions. Then, next to the Jahangir Art Gallery, he began working as a travel agent for a neighbourhood business named "Trade Wings." He was at the bus stop when an accountant for an advertising company saw him and inquired about his interest in modelling. The following day, during his lunch break, Shroff visited the nearby National advertising firm, which is housed in the same building as Davar's college and is close to Flora Fountain.

Shroff's career as a model began by the photo shoot for a suit shirt. In the 1982 film "Swami Dada" starring Dev Anand, Shroff made his acting debut. He was coupled up with Meenakshi Sheshadri in the lead role of the 1983's film "Hero", directed by Subhash Ghai. The film was well-liked. No matter the role that was offered, he continued to work in Subhash Ghai's movies. He worked on several other films after Hero, including Andar Baahar, Jaanoo and Yudh. He appeared in "Karma" in 1986, which became the year's highest-grossing movie. "Kaash" was the following movie he released. Later, movies like Dahleez and Sachché Ká Bol-Bálá received favourable reviews but bombed at the box office.

However, he found success again thanks to movies like Parinda, Tridev, and Ram Lakhan, which also earned him the Filmfare award for best actor. He appeared in a number of well-known movies during the 1990s, including Saudagar, Angaar, Sapne Sajan Ke, Gardish, Khalnayak, 1942: A Love Story, Rangeela, Agnisakshi, Border, and Shapath.
