He is considered as one of the most stylish actors of Bollywood. He was among the top four guys of the 80s who ruled the decade long era.

Actor Jackie Shroff is the perfect example of how cool an actor can be in his real and reel life. Fondly called as Jaggua Dada by his close ones, Jackie made his debut in Swami Dada, but it was Subhash Ghai’s Hero that made him an overnight star.

Shroff, who turns 61 today on February 1, has done more than 220 films in more than eight languages and has won numerous accolades for his contribution towards cinema.

His style statements and impulsive behaviour has earned him a huge fan following and admiration from all his ‘Bhidus’ from the B-Town.

But what makes the actor so cool are some unknown facts about the actor. On the occasion of Jaggu Dada’s 61st birthday, let’s check out seven instances when Jackie was the coolest actor.

Jaggu Dada is popular for his acting roles in action-thriller films, which further earned him the reputation of one of the best action hero alongside Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt. Much to everyone’s surprise this killer attitude of the actor was not just for films as his friends and peers describe him a ‘toughie’ during his teenage years and was always up for a fight.

He started his journey from a scratch. From pasting posters on elections for watching films before becoming an actor, Jackie also worked as a travel agent in a local company called Trade Wings.
