Jackie Shroff has never needed to try too hard to be iconic. With his effortless swag, trademark scarf, and unshakable “bhidu” charm, he’s remained one of Bollywood’s most distinctive personalities for over four decades. But while his onscreen aura has kept him evergreen, it’s his off-screen ritual that has quietly redefined his legacy: showing up everywhere — from award nights to charity drives — with a sapling in hand. What began as a personal quirk has now become his signature statement, a living reminder that true style lies in nurturing life, not flaunting luxury.
EXCLUSIVE: Jackie Shroff reveals why his plus one is always a sapling, “Growth over glamour”
“Plants have taught me patience and kept me grounded,” he says with a smile. It’s not unusual for him to turn up at a glitzy event with a sapling tucked under his arm. “I walk into events with a sapling as my plus one,” he chuckles. On his farm, the actor lives what he preaches — growing his own food, practicing organic farming, and teaching his children to share the same respect for nature.
For Jackie, greenery isn’t decor — it’s therapy, companionship, and even philosophy. “Plants make you a better person, Bhidu. That’s powerful, boss.”
Shroff’s grounded way of living has quietly influenced not just fans but also a new generation of nature enthusiasts. He wants people to stop seeing plants as a trend and instead embrace them as life partners. “One little plant can bring you peace, health, and a home that looks and feels alive,” he says.
Jackie Shroff might be one of Bollywood’s evergreen icons, but to him, the real evergreen legacy is in the saplings he plants and the minds he inspires.
