A couple of weeks ago, Ayesha Shroff had remembered her father and shared his picture on Instagram. She captioned the photo, “Remembering my dad on this day🙏🏻❤️ I guess I definitely inherited some of his guts!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️ @apnabhidu @tigerjackieshroff @kishushroff.”
Tiger Shroff had earlier mentioned that he is proud of his roots when he appeared on Arbaaz Khan’s celebrity talk show Pinch. He had said, “My dad’s (Jacky Shroff) dad is Gujarati, and my dad’s mom is Turkmenistani, a Mongolian-Chinese, a Muslim. My mom’s mom is French, and mom’s dad is Bengali, so I’m a mix of a lot of things, I don’t know what that makes me.”
