MUMBAI: Jackie Shroff, born Jaikishan Kakubhai Shroff on February 1, 1957, in Bombay (now Mumbai), has faced his share of challenges and tragedies. Growing up in Mumbai's Teen Batti area, Jackie had to discontinue his education after the 11th grade due to financial constraints.

Despite the hardships and tragedies, Jackie remained resilient, finding inspiration in the good memories and positive values his brother imparted to him.
