Many friends from the film industry and fans flooded the comments section of Shroff’s post with messages as soon as he shared the photos. While Salil Acharya commented, “Wowwww,” Ahmed Khan’s wife Sharma added, “RESPECT.” “It’s in your blood, Ma’am.” “Warrior Mindset,” one fan wrote.

Ayesha Shroff remembered her father and shared a photo of him on Instagram a few weeks ago. The shot was accompanied by the statement, “Remembering my dad on this day.” I suppose I inherited some of his guts!! @apnabhidu, @tigerjackieshroff, and @kishushroff.”

Tiger Shroff previously stated on Arbaaz Khan’s celebrity talk show Pinch that he is proud of his roots. He explained, “My dad’s (Jacky Shroff) dad is Gujarati, and my dad’s mom is Turkmenistani. She is a Mongolian-Chinese Muslim.” “My dad’s dad is a Muslim.” My mother’s mother is French, and my father is Bengali, so I’m a mix of many things; I’m not sure what that makes me.”
