Jackie Shroff Says He Likes Being Called 'Tiger Shroff's Papa'

Jackie Shroff is one of the most prolific actors who continues to stun the audience with his charm and persona on-screen. Recently, the star appeared on a talk show and opened up about the recognition he is getting- not as an actor or a star, but as Tiger Shroff’s father by the Gen Z audience and he quite enjoys being called Tiger’s “papa”.

Hero actor, Jackie Shroff recently graced the podcast of Ranveer Allahbadia, who also goes by the name Beer Biceps. The 67-year-old star happily talked about being recognised by Gen Z as Tiger Shroff’s father and confessed that he loves it. The host of the show said, “You know whenever I have met Tiger, I have understood one thing, that we are yet to see the best of the best of Tiger Shroff.”

To this, Jackie Shroff responded that Tiger is still a kid and is growing up, He shared that he can “see his son’s 10 and 20 years of growth”. The Ram Lakhan actor added, “He just has to do what he is doing, he should keep doing. He is the youngest action star in the world, at that age.”

The star further added that his son is talking about health, football, goodness and much more, which are the right values and other kids pick it up from him. To this Beer Biceps added that maybe the biggest children’s fandom in the country is about the War actor, Tiger Shroff. To this, the Khal Nayak star shared, “Most of the mothers, instead of calling me by my name, say that ‘Tiger Shroff’s dad’. So I like it. I said ‘Yes he has become a star’. I like that I am getting recognition because of my child. Every father wants it. It’s normal.”
