The “Hero” star said walls came between them when he became successful and moved into a bigger home. He added that he was happy that he gave his mother a room of her room.

Jackie Shroff said her mother suffered a stroke but he did not even know about it as walls separated them. He said everyone would know when someone coughed in their old residence.

The actor, holding back tears, said he would have known about her condition and taken her to the hospital and helped her if the walls were not there.

His words touched netizens’ hearts. They showed sympathy towards him for his loss with their heartwarming remarks.

Jaggu dada has many gems like that. He is a pure soul. But one thing has anyone noticed? How frequently he is using word like Abba, Ammi and Intkal. It show how deep rooted Urdu in Bollywood. If it happened by design or by default i don’t know.
