Videos & Pics: When Jackie Shroff Revisited His Old Teen Batti Chawl
Jackie Shroff took a walk down memory lane as he returned to his old home in Teen Batti on Sunday. In a quirk of fate, the actor, who was on his way back after dining at a restaurant in Colaba with friend Arjan Bajwa, had a chance meeting with the current tenants of the house at a Marine Drive signal, and minutes later, Shroff found himself driving towards his one-room settlement in Walkeshwar, where he had lived for the first 30 years of his life. 


While driving back from dinner, Jackie Shroff saw two bikers signalling at him. "At a traffic signal, they caught up with us and told Jackie Sir that they live in the same house where he grew up," says TV actor Arjan.


Pleased with the happy coincidence, Tiger Shroff’s father then continued towards Bandra, "but suddenly Jackie Sir took a U-turn and headed towards Walkeshwar. ‘They must have put on all the lights and must be waiting for me,' he told me,” adds Arjan.


When Jackie entered the one-room tenement, he showed the new dwellers, where his mother cooked, the mori where he had a bath, and the balcony. He also explained how he would put up a rod and hang a curtain on it to divide the room for some privacy.
