The otherwise rugged, jovial Jackie Shroff who has this hidden sentimental facet to him , earnestly regrets that he does not have any real-life sister who would have otherwise tied a ‘raakhi’ on his wrist.
In the recently released popular paper-back book ‘R D BurMania—PanchaMemoirs’ authored by eminent senior entertainment journalist Chaitanya Padukone the macho Jackie-Dada in his fond tribute to Pancham-da confides, “Bhidu, whenever I hear that sentimental retro RDB-composed song ‘Phoolon ka taaron ka sabka kehna hai, ek hazaaron mein meri behna hai, ’ emotionally, meri vaatt lag jaati hai. And I am invariably moved to tears. Maybe because in real life, I don’t have a ‘sister’,” shrugs the suave style-icon Shroff who is a self-confessed die-hard fan of R D Burman and his chartbusting songs.
