Good to see the old guard of Bollywood still bonding like this. Jackie Shroff is a legend and Subhash Ghai's movies defined our childhood. Salman's gesture is classy. More power to such friendships beyond the camera.
While it's nice to see stars being humble, let's be real—this is also great PR. Every move is calculated. That said, I'm more interested in 'Battle of Galwan'. That's a sensitive topic and needs to be handled with utmost respect for our martyrs.
The photo looks so warm and genuine. It's rare to see such intimate, non-film party pictures from Bollywood's big names. Just friends celebrating a friend. Refreshing change from the usual glamorous events.
Bhai for a reason! He might have his controversies, but his loyalty and respect for industry veterans is never in doubt. Jackie Shroff seems like such a chilled out person. Happy birthday to him! 🎂
Subhash Ghai's caption is so sweetly written. You can feel the affection. Also, the guest list—Ronit Roy, Poonam Dhillon—feels like a mini reunion of 90s stars. Takes me back. Good to know these bonds last.
