Respect! These character actors are the real backbone of any film. We remember the heroes and heroines, but forget the aunties and uncles who made the scenes so lively. Good on Jackie Shroff for keeping their memory alive.

I have a small criticism - while it's nice to remember legends, I wish current stars would also create meaningful roles for senior actors today, not just post tributes after they're gone. The industry needs to value them while they are with us.

As someone newer to Indian cinema, it's fascinating to learn about these iconic figures. Jackie Shroff seems like a genuine person, both in his film roles and his off-screen actions like environmental work. A true gentleman.

Shammi aunty! Wow, this brings back memories of watching movies with my family. She had that one dialogue or scene that would make everyone laugh. That generation of actors had a different charm altogether. Gone but not forgotten.

Jackie Shroff is a class act. From being a superstar to being an environmentalist and now paying respects to veterans, he sets a great example. We need more celebrities using their platform for good causes and remembering our roots.
