My Respect Always, Says Jackie Shroff As Kajol Acknowledges His Nostalgic Tribute To Tanuja On Her 82nd Birthday

Actor Jackie Shroff marks veteran actress Tanuja’s 82nd birthday with a nostalgic tribute. He posts a black-and-white photograph of the acclaimed actress from her early years on Instagram Stories and captions it, “My Respect Always. #HappyBirthday #Tanuja ji.”

Kajol, Tanuja’s daughter and one of Bollywood’s most recognisable stars, re-shares the message on her own account and writes, “Thank you from mom,” acknowledging the gesture publicly.

Tanuja, who turns 82, remains a celebrated figure in Hindi and Bengali cinema with acclaimed performances in films such as Memdidi, Jewel Thief, Haathi Mere Saathi and Anubhav.

Her screen presence and versatility make her one of the enduring icons of Indian film.

Jackie Shroff’s Current Projects

While honouring Tanuja, Jackie Shroff continues his busy schedule.

He appears as the antagonist, The Salesman, in the second season of the action drama Hunter 2, which raises the stakes as the protagonist discovers his supposedly dead daughter alive with the mysterious villain.

He is also part of the upcoming ensemble film Welcome to the Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan, which features a host of well-known actors, including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani and Paresh Rawal, among others.

Kajol’s recent release, The Trial Season 2, continues her foray into streaming drama.

Adapted from Robert and Michelle King’s The Good Wife, the series follows Noyonika Sengupta, a former housewife turned lawyer, navigating professional growth and domestic turmoil.

The second season picks up three months after the first, showing Noyonika as a more confident lawyer while her strained marriage and family conflicts persist.

Through these personal and professional updates, the birthday exchange between Jackie Shroff and Kajol underscores the enduring bonds within the film industry while both stars remain active on screen.
