This is how Jackie Shroff is celebrating his birthday
As per reports in HT digital, Jackie Shroff is shooting for his new film Atithi Bhooto Bhava in Mathura.
Speaking about his birthday plan, he said:
This year on my birthday, I will do what I have been doing. Shoot, plant a tree and feed kids. I will also then have dinner with my family. This is pretty much the ritual that I have been doing, and that is what I like to do. It is very simple. I count my blessings.
Age is just a number for Jaggu dada
I am turning 64 this year? I had no idea I thought I was turning 46. You don't start thinking about age, you just think about your experiences, you start counting the breaths you take... that is how I look at ageing. I just believe in being focused on my health. That is what has been my goal for the past many years. That is everything and that is what I keep telling everyone. Just take care of your health
Childhood birthday memory
I miss how I used to go to different classrooms and distribute sweets and eat it with my friends, those were the best days indeed," he recalls.
