Meet actor who gave his house to Jackie Shroff's father, helped him in tough times, gave him clothes; he is…
Jackie Shroff and Suniel Shetty studied at the same school, although they were not classmates. Jackie is four to five years older than Suniel and was his senior in school, so they knew each other. Before becoming an actor, and even after achieving success, Jackie lived with his family in a chawl in Mumbai.
Once, Jackie's father, Kakubhai Shroff, developed a penicillin allergy that caused his skin to start peeling. It became difficult to take proper care of him in their small room. When Suniel heard about this, he showed great generosity by offering his house in Miramar to Kakubhai. Suniel himself moved to another place during that time. Sunil Shetty used to lend clothes to Jackie Shroff
Suniel Shetty's father used to run a restaurant in Mumbai. Later, he also opened a clothing shop. Sometimes, Suniel would help out by sitting at the shop. When Jackie was working as a model before becoming an actor, he often faced a shortage of good clothes. During that time, Suniel would lend him clothes from his father's shop. After the work was done, Jackie would return them.

‘F*ck him and everybody around him': Joe Biden's son, Hunter, has some major beef with Hollywood actor George Clooney
If you thought Joe Biden stepping down from the presidential race would end all the drama that surrounds the family, you thought wrong, but it's not your fault. Leading the charge for the most recent breakdown in US politics is Hunter Biden, the second son of former president Joe Biden and his first wife, the late Neilia Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden and George Clooney In a profanity-laced, three-hour sit-down with US outlet Channel 5, Hunter went scorched earth — targeting actor and longtime Democratic supporter George Clooney, defending his father's legacy, and directly denying any link to the baggie of cocaine found at the White House in 2023. The Clooney saga 'F*** him!' Hunter said of Clooney, who had recently penned an op-ed in The New York Times urging the Democratic party to find a new nominee for the 2024 race — a not-so-subtle call for Biden to step aside. 'F*** him and everybody around him. I don't have to be f***ing nice.' The personal animosity seems to run deep. Referring to Quentin Tarantino's infamous comment that Clooney isn't a 'movie star,' Hunter agreed wholeheartedly. 'F***ing George Clooney is not a fing actor. He is f***ing like … I don't know what he is. He's a brand.' He didn't stop there. 'What do you have to do with fing anything?' Hunter asked rhetorically. 'What right do you have to step on a man who's given… his f***ing life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full-page ad in the f***ing New York Times?' Behind the scenes, Hunter claimed Clooney's real issue may be more personal than political. He alleged that Clooney, whose wife Amal Clooney helped push for an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was furious when President Biden publicly criticized the ICC's decision. 'He was bitching to the White House staff, the senior staff that he was so angry that the president would criticise the arrest warrant,' Hunter said. 'He was very, very angry that my dad did not pay homage to her or something.' Hunter's issues with substance abuse The interview, already making waves online, comes amid renewed scrutiny of Hunter's past — particularly his struggles with substance abuse. With President Trump back in office, the FBI has reopened the case of the mystery cocaine found in the West Wing in 2023 and all eyes, unfair or not, are on Hunter. But he's not having it. 'Why would I bring cocaine into the White House and stick it into a cubby outside … the situation room in the West Wing?' he asked, adding that he's been sober since June 2019. Whether you believe him or not, one thing's for sure: Hunter won't be going quietly. Not about his father. Not about Clooney. And definitely not about cocaine.

And I'm proud of that.' He added, 'But when I hold my granddaughter, none of that matters. The race to have more kind of fades when you come to that point in life where you realise what truly matters. And seeing my Amma hold her great-granddaughter in her arms is the kind of moment that is now a core memory. I'll never get over the beauty of such moments.'

Jackie Chan Says He's 'Scared' Of Stunts, Fears Dying On Sets: 'I'm Not Superman'
Last Updated: Jackie Chan, 71, admits he fears dying during stunts and gets nervous before big scenes. Jackie Chan is 'scared" of stunts and fears he will die on set. The 71-year-old movie star – who started his career as a stuntman before turning to acting – has admitted he always gets nervous before filming a big scene and regularly worries that he will meet a nasty end if an ambitious action sequence goes wrong. During an appearance at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, he explained: 'I'm no Superman. I am scared. Before a stunt, I go: 'Am I going to die this time?'" Chan went on to insist he's still capable of doing his own martial arts scenes now he's in his 70s and he always wants to make his movies the best they can be. He said: 'The audience doesn't know about the rain or the producer, or that the budget was cut. They just want a good movie. I always remember that, so I try to make every scene perfect. I think old movies were better than [what we have] today. Now, these big studios, they are not filmmakers – they are business guys. It's very difficult to make a good movie these days." Chan previously experience a stunt going wrong on the set of his 2020 movie Vanguard when he became trapped underwater while filming a Jet Ski chase scene. Behind-the-scenes footage showed the actor emerging from the water and saying: 'Wow, this scared me to death." The film's director Stanley Tong later told USA Today: 'We wanted to show the outtakes to prove that even though Jackie is 66 years old, he's a professional actor and loves action. He still wants to try anything himself. That's his passion and dedication and devotion to the film industry." Tong added of the Jet Ski scene: 'He was stuck under the water because of a big rock behind him. And he couldn't come up. I was very scared. But as the safety people picked Jackie out of the water. I saw him breathing and move. I said: 'Thank God!' I was crying at that time. Jackie said that the current was so strong he couldn't move and he got pushed against the big rock. Jackie said that all he could think of was: 'Stay calm'. But that night at the hotel, after dinner we had coffee. He was holding onto the coffee cup and his hand was shaking. He told me he was really scared." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
