Whether it’s a film premiere, a press conference, or a felicitation ceremony, Jackie Shroff rarely arrives empty-handed. More often than not, he’s seen carrying a potted plant — a quiet but powerful signature that has, over the years, become inseparable from his persona. In an industry where gifting bottles of perfume or boxes of sweets is the norm, Shroff’s green token stands out as a statement: growth over glamour, roots over razzmatazz. For Shroff, this isn’t a hobby; it’s a lesson in empathy.
EXCLUSIVE: Jackie Shroff shares his parenting hack; says, “Gift your kids a seed, not a screen”
“Give a child a seed, they’ll water it, watch it sprout, and that empathy and joy will stick with them for life,” he explains. The actor, who has spent decades balancing films, causes, and campaigns, says this one habit has the power to shape a generation more compassionate than the last.
He believes gifting plants instead of material items can spark this shift. “Birthday, rakhi, new job, new home — skip the plastic and perishable stuff. Give something that grows. It’s more thoughtful.” In an age where children are glued to screens, Shroff sees gardening as the ultimate antidote — one that fosters patience, care, and mindfulness. “Fill your home with plants, and you’ll have cleaner air, a calmer mind, and happier vibes,” he says.
Shroff’s green parenting hack is simple but revolutionary — nurturing nature may just be the key to nurturing future generations.
