When Ayesha Shroff's film tanked leaving Jackie Shroff bankrupt; Tiger Shroff recalled how even his bed was sold: ‘I started sleeping on floor…'
When Tiger Shroff was 12, his mother Ayesha Shroff produced a film Boom. It was Katrina Kaif's debut film and starred Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover and Zeenat Aman in important roles. Despite a promising cast, the film tanked at the box office, leaving the Shroffs bankrupt. To pay off their debt, Jackie Shroff sold off their four-bedroom Bandra apartment and moved into a smaller apartment. It was at this time when a young Tiger had decided that one day, he would buy back his childhood home.
Recalling the hard time, Tiger Shroff told GQ in 2021, 'I remember how our furniture was sold off, one by one. My mother's artwork, lamps… Things I'd grown up seeing around us started disappearing. Then my bed went. I started to sleep on the floor. It was the worst feeling of my life. I wanted to work at that age but I knew I could do nothing to help.'
After making his debut with 2014 film Heropanti, Tiger had earned enough to buy back his childhood home in 2017. However, his parents who were touched by his gesture preferred living in their rented house on Carter Road. Later, in 2021, Tiger gifted a grand 8 BHK apartment in Khar west area to his mother Ayesha Shroff, which became their new family abode they they own, and not rent.

Speaking to SCREEN, Jackie had shared his joy over his son's achievement. He said, 'Tiger dreamed of buying a house for his mother ever since he joined films. He kept working towards that dream. A child getting something for his mother is wonderful. He's a very sweet and emotional guy.'
Now, according to Money Mint, Tiger Shroff has an estimated net worth of Rs 248 crore. Apart from films and ads, Tiger also earns from his production house Tiger Shroff Films as well as his chain of gyms, MMA Matrix.

Sadhna Broadcast case: Sebi bans Arshad Warsi, wife Maria Goretti from the securities market; actor fined Rs 5 lakh
Sadhna Broadcast case: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has barred actor Arshad Warsi, his wife Maria Goretti, and 57 others from being involved in securities markets for periods ranging from one to five years. The action comes following the actor and his wife's collaboration on videos posted on YouTube that prompted viewers to purchase shares of Sadhna Broadcast, the central agency said. Arshad Warsi banned from securities market, fined Rs 5 lakh Actor Arshad Warsi, best known for his work in films such as Munnabhai MBBS and Jolly LLB, has landed in trouble because of his role in the Sadhna Broadcast case. On May 29, Sebi imposed monetary penalties of Rs 5 lakh each on Warsi and his wife, Goretti. Moreover, they have been banned from the market for a year. Further, the regulatory body has imposed financial penalties ranging from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 5 crore on 57 other parties. This includes the promoters of Sadhna Broadcast, which is now known as Crystal Business System Ltd. Sebi further asked all 59 entities to return collective illegal profits of Rs 58.01 crore. An additional annual interest of 12 per cent will also be levied. This has to be paid jointly till the entire amount is sorted. As per Sebi's findings, Arshad Warsi earned profits of Rs 41.70 lakh, while Maria Goretti made Rs 50.35 lakh from their actions. About the Sadhna Broadcast case In its detailed report, Sebi noted that the scheme was carried out in two stages. In the first one, promoter-associated entities conducted trades internally in a bid to increase the scrip price and create fake market activity. The transactions had an impact on pricing largely due to limited market liquidity. This gave the concerned parties an opportunity to boost the share value while utilising negligible trading resources. After this, promotional content was broadcast on various YouTube channels. These videos projected SBL as a top-notch investment option and went hand-in-hand with the orchestrated market activities Arshad Warsi and Maria Goretti married in 1996. They have two children. Goretti was a noted VJ. She also made a guest appearance in Rajat Kapoor's Raghu Romeo. Arshad Warsi, meanwhile, is gearing up for the release of Jolly LLB 3 and Welcome to the Jungle.
