Jackie Shroff opens up about bankruptcy after the failure of Boom, says 'My kids were too small and we didn’t let it get to them'

Jackie Shroff and wife Ayesha had hit a difficult and rough patch in their life after a film they produced- Boom, failed at the box office. The 2003 film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, Padma Lakshmi, Madhu Sapre, Zeenat Aman and Katrina Kaif bombed and how. Now, Jackie Shroff has opened up about how it left the family bankrupt and how they recovered from it.

Talking to Bollywood Bubble, Jackie Shroff said, “I knew that we tried something and we lost something. If I had to pay for it, I’d pay. I had worked as much as I could and we repaid everybody so that my family’s name gets clear. Business mein up down hota hi hai, yeh zaroori nahi hai ki hum hamesha upar hi rahenge. Kabhi upar niche hota hai, but you need to know how to keep your sanity and ethics.”

He also added that he and wife Ayesha made sure that their children Tiger and Krishna are not affected by it. He said, “My kids didn’t understand anything. They were too small and we didn’t let it get to them.”

In an interview earlier, Tiger had recalled what happened post the failure of Boom. He had said, “I remember how our furniture was sold off, one by one. 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." Well, nothing is permanent, and now Tiger is one of the most successful stars in Bollywood.
