Mumbai, February 4: Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff stands out in the film industry with his unique style.

On Wednesday, he showcased his respect for classical music and cinema through heartfelt tributes on his Instagram story.
Shroff first honored the legendary Hindustani classical singer Pandit Bhimsen Joshi on his death anniversary. He shared poignant images of Joshi, accompanied by his famous bhajan, “Majhe Maaher Pandhari.”
Next, he celebrated actress Urmila Matondkar’s birthday by posting a beautiful video featuring various pictures of her, highlighting her smile and innocence. The video was set to the iconic song “Tanha Tanha Yahan Pe Jeena” from the film “Rangeela,” one of Matondkar’s most memorable movies.
Additionally, Shroff paid tribute to the legendary dancer and actor Bhagwan Dada on his 24th death anniversary. He shared a short clip of Dada, featuring his hit song “Shola Jo Bhadke.”
Through these three posts, Jackie Shroff honored the rich heritage of Indian art, music, and cinema.
Recently, Shroff celebrated his 69th birthday. On this occasion, he received warm wishes from his daughter Krishna Shroff, director Subhash Ghai, Suniel Shetty, and many other actors via social media.
Krishna Shroff shared a black-and-white photo of her father, writing, “Happy Birthday, my protector. Dad, I love you with all my heart and always will.”
Suniel Shetty posted a special picture with Jackie, wishing him a happy birthday and expressing his gratitude for Shroff’s warmth and legendary personality. He wrote, “Happy birthday to my hero… Your heart is bigger than your legendary personality, and your warmth is rarer than your swag. Grateful for your love and madness. Love you, Dada.”
Subhash Ghai also extended birthday wishes, stating, “Happy Birthday, my dear Jackie…” He included a special poem for Shroff, beginning with, “Honor is not about having a big father; honor is about standing on your own feet…” He concluded with, “With love and blessings.”
