Jackie Shroff

 

He's considered one of Bollywood's most affable stars. So much so, Jackie Shroff is open to fielding questions about everything under the sun including his take on the opposite sex, his own sexuality, his family life, his financial difficulties and then perhaps, his film career! This has been the story of his life, ever since Jackie graduated from being a small-time 'dada' at Teenbatti (in South Bombay) to a popular model, till finally, Dev Anand picked him up for a minor part in Swami Dada (1982).

Jaikishen Kakubhai Shroff wanted to become a villain in the Indian film industry but became a hero. He began his career as a model. Subhash Ghai's film 'Hero', which became a blockbuster shattered the myth that models cannot act. Despite being a successful actor, there was a time when the dark alleys of his past seemed to call him back. Drugs and booze fuelled his system.

It is also heard that he's is now prepared to go back to doing what he started off with playing the villain. Given his easygoing disposition and 'nice guy' image, wonder how he's going to fit the bill. But who knows, he might just pull this gamble off too like he's done several times in the past.

Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited (JSEL), a company floated by the star, first production, 'Grahan' fared disastrously but his next ventures Sandhya and Boom seems to be promising.
