On this Father's Day, Jackie Shroff speaks about the best gift he received from son Tiger, which is 'Tiger Ka Baap.'

Speaking to The Time Of India, the 59-year-old actor said that the 'Heropanti' actor has given him "a new name and a new identity" to cherish.

"I don't understand the materialistic aspect of gifting someone. I cherish the new identity he has given me, which is 'Tiger Ka Baap'. The mothers who got married listening to the flute in my film Hero, now their knee-high kids call me Tiger's dad," he said.

Shroff further added that young girls request him to write 'Tiger's Daddy' during autograph.

 

"Mind you, it's not a cakewalk to get rid of the baggage of your father. If my father was an actor, I would find it really difficult to make my own standing. I am known as Tiger's father and I am bloody proud of that," he boasted.
