‘I don’t impose myself on Tiger’

Actor Jackie Shroff (above) says he does not give his son Tiger (above, far right) any suggestions on his career; he feels that the young star is doing pretty well by himself, and he does not want to impose himself on him.

The 58-year-old actor says he has raised Tiger to be a very disciplined person, who will always take the right decisions in life.

“I don’t have inputs in his career. I have raised him well. I don’t tell him about his career. I never told him about his studies in school. I know he is a balanced boy. He is a disciplined sports person. It’s more than enough for me. I don’t like to impose myself on him,” says Jackie.

Tiger made his acting debut alongside Kriti Sanon in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Heropanti last year. He is currently working on two more films.

Jackie’s daughter Krishna has become quite a social media star after she posted some pictures of herself on Instagram recently.

Calling her “cool”, Jackie said his daughter is also training young basketball players at a school, but people do not talk about it. “She is teaching girls basketball, she is a coach right now. That’s what she has been doing and before that, she was teaching kindergarten kids. She is cool.”

Talking about the pictures that became a talking point, he says, “She has a friend who is a photographer and they keep experimenting with different photographs. And people go ballistic. But they don’t write about how she is training little girls to play basketball,” he says.
