India Today
As Jackie Shroff turned a year older today, February 1, we dedicate this week’s Tuesday Trivia to the actor. Did you know Jackie once turned down a film as he was asked to wear a bikini? Also, he was quite embarrassed when he was asked to kiss Madhuri Dixit.
Jackie Shroff is an acclaimed actor, who is known for his devil-may-care attitude. No-filter conversations and candid confessions never scare Jaggu Dada and that’s what makes him everyone’s favourite. However, there have been moments in the actor’s career when his bindass attitude took a back seat. On Jackie Shroff’s 65th birthday, we dedicate this week’s Tuesday Trivia to him and tell you two lesser-known incidences from the actor’s life.
Jackie Shroff appeared in more than 200 films in his career spanning over 40 years. During this time, he earned many titles, such as Sexy Shroff, for nailing intimate scenes with his leading ladies. However, the cool and macho Jackie was not as comfortable as everyone thought he was in romantic scenes. In an old interview, posted on Reddit, Jackie revealed how he was embarrassed to kiss Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla.
"I've kissed Madhuri Dixit in Vardi and Juhi Chawla in Aaina, but I felt embarrassed about it. Brandy shots helped me kiss other women on screen. I was called Sexy Shroff and considered macho, but I shied away from doing kissing scenes," said the actor.
Jackie Shroff has been known as a male sex symbol throughout, but did you know he once rejected a film because he was asked to wear a bikini? The actor made the shocking revelation when he and Juhi Chawla appeared on Neha Dhupia's chat show, BFFs with Vogue, back in 2018.
Always known for being candid, Jackie was talking about body hair with host Neha. During the course of their conversation, the actress asked him if he had ever waxed himself. Jackie Shroff said 'no never' and spilt the beans about the bikini incident. "Never. I in fact rejected a role because they had to clean me up and make me wear a bikini (sic)," said Jackie Shroff.
During the same interview, Jackie Shroff went on to talk about his crushes. He revealed he had crushes on many female co-stars, including Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia, and added that he had a soft corner for them and nothing more than that.
