In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
when
actor
Jackie
Shroff
was
asked
about
how
he
feels
about
playing
father
of
actors
like
Salman
Khan
and
Aamir
Khan
on-screen,
despite
being
only
few
years
elder
to
them,
he
said
that
he
doesn't
think
about
such
things.
He
further
added
that
he
looks
at
every
role
as
an
actor,
and
doesn't
take
himself
so
seriously.
Jackie
told
Times
Of
India
that
he
is
an
actor
and
if
he
plays
a
terrorist,
it
doesn't
mean
that
he
has
become
one.
"Playing
these
roles,
doesn't
make
me
their
father.
It's
okay.
In
my
heydays,
actor
Sharad
Kapoor
once
asked
me
if
I
can
play
his
father,
I
said
yes.
I
was
a
super
duper
star
then.
How
does
it
matter?
I
can
play
a
Sai
Baba,
a
father
or
a
terrorist.
I
don't
take
myself
so
seriously
because
I
have
seen
the
biggest
of
biggest
actors
depart," said
the
Ram
Lakhan
actor.
He
further
added,
"Dev
sahab,
Shashi
uncle,
Shammi
uncle,
Rajesh
Khanna,
Vinod
Khanna...
all
were
my
favourites.
I
remember
how
ladies
were
crazy
for
Kakaji
(Rajesh
Khanna).
They
used
to
kiss
his
white
car
until
it
turned
red.
How
many
people
get
to
live
that
life?
The
phenomena
of
Kakaji,
Shashiji,
Dev
Sahab,
Vinod
Khanna?
So
who
the
hell
are
we!
Life
is
short.
Time
kaha
hai?"
In
the
same
interview,
Jackie
also
praised
his
actor-son
Tiger
Shroff
and
said
that
he's
proud
of
his
achievements.
"At
26,
Tiger
became
the
youngest
action
star
and
set
a
standard
for
himself.
Everyone
now
calls
me
Tiger
ka
baap
and
that
is
the
proudest
moment
for
me,"
asserted
the
64-year-old
actor.
