Jackie Shroff shares reason behind sending a one-word text to Ananya Panday 

In a recent conversation with Humans of Bombay, Jackie Shroff was asked about sending a one-word message to Ananya Panday over Instagram DM. Commenting on the heartwarming gesture, the actor said, “It was just to let her know that I am always there. Mere dost ka baccha hai. (She is my friend’s kid). All these kids are my friends. Their fathers aren’t my friends. They were at one time.”

He further added that these kids go to parties, and even though he still enjoys partying the young actors' fathers don’t party. He likes all kinds of music and sometimes dances on his own. "Jitne bhi bhidu hai mere, they don’t think that some relic is coming, some dinosaur is coming. They accept me. Because I am of their level. My childhood hasn’t gone. Mera bachpana nahi gaya hai," Jackie added.
