Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a past interview, the actor shared how he maintained a simple lifestyle despite his success. Early Memories: From No Cupboard to Community Gatherings On the Yaaron Ki Baarat show, Jackie fondly remembered his early days when he had just landed a film but didn't even own a cupboard. The suit came before the cupboard, and when the cupboard finally arrived, the entire chawl gathered to see it. This experience reflected the close-knit community he grew up in and taught him the true value of possessions and simplicity. While others might have upgraded to lavish homes, he remained close to the people who watched him grow. Even after starring in hits like 'Hero', 'Andar Baahar', and 'Yudh', Jackie continued living in the chawl, where sharing basic amenities like toilets was part of everyday life. Shared Washrooms and Producers' Film Narrations Shroff recalled that living in a chawl with just three washrooms for 30 people often led to amusing situations. He mentioned how producers would sometimes spot him waiting in line for the toilet and even give him film narrations then. After he became an actor, visiting producers and directors also had to queue for the washroom, which upset the chawl residents. They told Jackie, 'You've become such a star, but we don't want you or your friends standing in line for the washroom. So, we're gifting you the washroom.' This story highlights the close-knit community and the unique challenges of his early life.

However, they insisted on gifting it to him. Jackie recalled that the washroom even had a lock. Despite his rising fame at that time, marked by his film 'Shiva Ka Insaaf', his mother had proudly displayed the movie's poster in their home, symbolizing his growing recognition. 'Shiva Ka Insaaf' (1985) was notable as India's first Hindi superhero movie and the first 3D Hindi film.

Jackie 'O' Henderson flees to Fiji after Channel Seven buries her struggling reality TV dating show Stranded on Honeymoon Island
Jackie 'O' Henderson has left Australia for an overseas getaway after her Channel Seven reality TV show Stranded on Honeymoon Island flopped spectacularly. The radio star popped up in Fiji on Thursday, where Instagram footage showed the 50-year-old enjoying the seaside escape on a catamaran. Jackie O could seen on the the boat as crystal-clear waters and palm trees swayed around her to the tune of Empty by Ray LaMontagne. She later relaxed poolside at the Kokomo Private Island Resort, with a picturesque make-up-free snap showing the star in a stunning one-piece. It's understood a five-night stay at the luxury Kokomo Private Island Resort, including all meals and airport transfers, starts from a hefty $16,335 per person. Jackie O's South Pacific island getaway comes after she spent time with family and friends at a waterside home in NSW's Scotland Island recently. Her escape from work coincides with Seven spending a whopping $15 million on Stranded on Honeymoon Island, which Jackie narrates. The show follows a fresh batch of singles matched by relationship experts and dropped off on a remote island in their wedding attire. It combines of the traditional drama elements of Channel Nine's Married At First Sight with the wild challenges seen on Survivor Australia. Jackie's narration was expected to "bring an added layer of warmth and humour, making the series even more irresistible," according to a Channel Seven spokesperson. However, despite the mammoth investment and radio talent, the reality dating show reportedly lost more than 160,000 viewers after its premiere. It clocked 539,000 viewers on June 27, only for that figure to take a huge nosedive the following evening, recording 376,000 viewers. The Seven Network then pushed the embattled series back to a later time before removing it from its Monday roster entirely. The network now airs Stranded on Honeymoon Island twice a week, back-to-back during a "midweek graveyard slot", according to a TV insider who told Daily Mail Australia Seven entirely "missed the mark." 'They invested so much into making this show a hit,' the insider said. 'The content was raw and authentic, especially during those camp cove MAFS dinner party-style segments—but somehow they missed the mark.' An ex-crew member also told the publication the show "had potential" but needed "tighter editing, stronger storytelling, and a network that actually believed in it," adding investing a lot of money doesn't guarantee a TV hit. Stranded on Honeymoon Island was originally scheduled to premiere in mid-2024, with its year-long delay reportedly frustrating some of the cast, who were contractually required to refrain from posting on social media. One male cast member even proposed to his real-life girlfriend while waiting for the show to air. The show first premiered in Belgium, where it became a ratings success, and has since been adapted in several countries, including Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, the UK, and now Australia.

Kennedy grandson Jack Schlossberg mocks grandma Jacqueline Onassis' pain over former prez's alleged affair in unhinged post
Jack Schlossberg, a Kennedy heir known for making wild public statements on social media, fired off at his late grandmother Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis in an offbeat Instagram post about her troubled personal life on Monday. Schlossberg took a video of a People magazine cover from July 7 featuring his grandmother standing behind his grandfather, John F. Kennedy, with the headline 'Jackie Knew Everything.' The 32-year-old Kennedy scion captioned the post, 'Jackie was right about everything,' alluding to the former first lady knowing about her husband's alleged affair with pop culture icon Marilyn Monroe. Advertisement 5 The Kennedy heir fired off at his late grandmother, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, in an offbeat Instagram post about her troubled personal life on Monday. Jack Schlossberg/Instagram Jackie allegedly knew about JFK's long-rumored relationship with Monroe and confronted him about it while he was in office, according to People. J. Randy Taraborrelli — the author of a new biography on the 35th president, 'JFK: Public, Private, Secret' — alleges that Jackie once told Kennedy, 'This one's different, Jack. This one worries me.' Advertisement 'That's from somebody who was right there in the White House who overheard that conversation,' Taraborrelli told the outlet. 'It was reported to me 25 years ago, when I was writing an earlier book, Jackie, Ethel and Joan.' While the affair between the sex symbol and former president has been long-rumored, Taraborrelli claimed Jackie 'didn't know if JFK was involved with her or not. She just assumed it. What I do know is after Marilyn died, Jackie was bereft.' Schlossberg is the only grandson of Jackie, who died of cancer in 1994 at age 64, and JFK, who was assassinated in 1963 at 43. 5 Jacqueline Kennedy sits in the living room of her Washington, DC, residence, March 27, 1960.

Following the 2025 inauguration, the Harvard grad questioned whether Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, was 'hotter' than his grandmother. Advertisement 5 John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis on the cover of PEOPLE magazine. PEOPLE 'True or false: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O?' he asked his followers on X back in January. After being slammed for his bizarre question, Schlossberg admitted he was a 'literal pervert' in a follow-up post. 'I called my grandmother hot … have I totally lost it? Jesus … this kid will do anything for attention. Your grandfather would be ashamed. Seriously. Time to get a job,' he wrote. Schlossberg left many of his followers concerned, with some even telling the 32-year-old to 'seek help.' 5 Caroline Kennedy and her son, Jack Schlossberg.
