Krishna Shroff Says Her Mother Ayesha ‘Left Everything’ To Stay With Jackie Shroff Krishna Shroff reflected on her parents’ early life during an episode of The 50, sharing how her mother, Ayesha Shroff, made significant sacrifices to support her father, Jackie Shroff, during his formative years in the film industry. She described how Ayesha left behind a comfortable upbringing to live with Jackie in a Mumbai chawl during the early stages of their relationship. Ayesha, who came from a financially stable background with well-established parents, chose to marry Jackie despite the stark contrast in their circumstances. Krishna recalled that Jackie was living in a chawl with his parents at the time, and Ayesha moved there after their marriage, abandoning the lifestyle she had known. “She left everything her mother built and stayed in the chawl with my dad and his parents, even after dad’s first movie, Hero,” Krishna said. The couple eventually moved into their first home, where they later married. Krishna highlighted her mother’s dedication to family, noting that Ayesha often prioritized her family’s happiness over her own. She also described her mother as someone who embraced the challenges of their journey, choosing to build a life with Jackie despite the uncertainties. Beyond her parents’ story, Krishna spoke about her own childhood, emphasizing that growing up in a film industry household was far from glamorous. She and her brother, Tiger Shroff, were largely shielded from the public eye, with their lives remaining low-key. Krishna explained that their family maintained a private lifestyle, which helped create a sense of normalcy. “We are very close as a family because at the end of the day, it’s just my father, mother, Tiger, and myself,” she said.#krishna_shroff #ayesha_shroff #jackie_shroff #tiger_shroff #the_50
Krishna Shroff recalls mom Ayesha leaving affluent life to live in a chawl with Jackie Shroff: 'We had such a normal upbringing' Krishna Shroff recently shared insights about her childhood and family life during an interview on The 50. As the daughter of actor Jackie Shroff, she emphasized that despite growing up in a film family, she and her brother experienced a very ordinary upbringing. The family intentionally avoided the industry’s glamour, keeping their lives private and focused on normalcy. Krishna described how their home life was simple, with no emphasis on the fame associated with their father’s career. She highlighted that her mother, Ayesha Shroff, made significant sacrifices to support Jackie during their early relationship. Ayesha, who came from a wealthy background, chose to leave behind her affluent lifestyle to live in a chawl in Mumbai with Jackie and his parents. Krishna recounted how her mother’s decision to embrace a simpler life was driven by her commitment to her family. “My mom came from a very good household; her parents were doing very well. Then she married my father, who was living in a chawl with his mom and dad. She left everything her mother built, and stayed in the chawl with my dad and his parents, even after dad’s first movie, Hero,” she explained. Krishna also spoke about the close-knit nature of their family. She mentioned that the loss of their grandparents brought the four of them closer together—her father, Jackie, her mother, Ayesha, her brother Tiger Shroff, and herself. She noted that their extended family was not a significant part of their lives, as her father lost his brother at a young age and her mother’s parents divorced. “My only close people after the four of us were my grandmothers,” she said.#mumbai #krishna_shroff #ayesha_shroff #jackie_shroff #tiger_shroff
