The light-hearted jab instantly caught fans’ attention, with many loving the easy camaraderie between the two actors.

From Hero to Bollywood icon

After a brief, uncredited appearance in Swami Dada (1982), Jackie Shroff shot to stardom with his lead debut in Subhash Ghai’s Hero. The role turned him into an overnight sensation and paved the way for a string of hits through the 1980s and 1990s, including Karma, Ram Lakhan, Tridev, Khal Nayak and Border.

He also won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for Parinda (1989), cementing his place as one of Bollywood’s most respected performers.

Family love and legacy

Jackie shares a close bond with son Tiger Shroff, with their affectionate moments often winning hearts online. From cosy family dinners to candid cuddles, the Shroff family’s warmth is a fan favourite.

As birthday tributes continue to roll in, Ajay Devgn’s witty message stands out — a reminder that some friendships in Bollywood age as well as its biggest stars. 🎂
