Jackie Shroff is one of the most grounded actors of Bollywood and known for his bindaas attitude. Bhidu as he calls all his near and dear ones, is unapologetically himself at all times. He is proud of his upbringing and uprightly spoken about his struggling days. Despite his stardom he has never not forgotten his real roots.

Recently he visited Sony Entertainment Television's show Super Dancer Chapter 3. During one of the acts, Jackie got a little sentimental on hearing about the hardships Dehradun's 11-year-old Akshit Bhandari has faced and revealed that he shared a very similar background. He could absolutely relate to the contestant's mother and admired her for her brilliant upbringing and strength.
