Delving into the dynamics of their interactions, Shroff expressed that while the fathers of these actors may not indulge in partying anymore, he still enjoys it. He shared that he appreciates various music genres and occasionally finds himself dancing to the beats. He playfully remarked, “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.”
Ananya Panday, recounting the incident on a podcast with Rohan Joshi and Tanmay Bhat, shared the amusing details of Shroff’s message. According to the young actress, Shroff randomly sent her the word ‘Bhidu,’ leaving her curious. When she inquired about the message, he didn’t immediately respond. However, upon meeting at a later event, Shroff clarified that the intent behind the message was to convey his presence and support.
This heartwarming revelation showcases the endearing bonds that transcend generations in the Bollywood fraternity, with Jackie Shroff’s ‘Bhidu’ gesture symbolizing the timeless camaraderie he shares with the younger stars.
