Film producer-turned-entrepreneur Ayesha Shroff, who has been married to Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff for 38 years believes she made the right choice when it came to her husband. On Mid-day’s Powerful Women season 3, Ayesha recalls the time she introduced Jackie to her father, Air Vice Marshal Ranjan Dutt, an Indian Air Force officer and Vir Chakra awardee, which left the actor frozen. She also discusses trolls who attack her kids Krishna and Tiger and how it infuriates her. 

When Jackie Shroff met wife Ayesha’s father

Ayesha states that she has never been someone who looks at people for their wealth or status but rather the kind of human being they are. She recalls, “When I was seeing my husband (Jackie Shroff), he was my boyfriend back then, my father met him once and he was like so kadak, I think Jackie was like a frozen solid in that first meeting. There was some kind of a hiccup there but then ultimately I told my mother, ‘He's the guy I love, he's a very good guy, I know he will keep me happy no matter what so either I marry him or I never get married, the choice is yours mom.’ Being her daughter she knew there was no point arguing further and she gave in. And I think I was proven more than right.”
