    Jackie Shroff unapologetic about cussing during behind-the-scenes of polio ad

    What's the story

    Veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff recently discussed the unexpected cultural impact of a Marathi expletive he used in a behind-the-scenes video from a 1998/99 public service announcement (PSA) for polio eradication.

    The video, which went viral on social media, showed Shroff struggling with the Hindi dialogues and humorously reacting to his mistakes.

    The actor's frequent use of the expletive "maushi chi..." in the clip has since become a part of Indian pop culture.

    Podcast appearance

    Shroff discusses expletive's impact on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast

    Shroff spoke about the cultural impact of the expletive during a recent appearance on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast.

    He acknowledged that while some people enjoyed it, others did not. However, he highlighted that it helped raise awareness about polio.

    "I tell them, if nothing else, it at least helped people learn about polio and the importance of administering the drops to kids," he said.

    Language struggles

    Shroff admits difficulty with Hindi dialogues during ad shoot

    During the podcast, Shroff admitted that he had difficulty pronouncing some of the Hindi words in the ad.

    "I tried hard (to deliver the lines). Some words are difficult to pronounce, right? That's what happened that day. But we later created another ad, which turned out really well."

    He also highlighted the need for increased awareness about Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder that results in less hemoglobin than normal in the body.

    Upcoming projects

    Shroff's upcoming projects include 'Singham Again' and 'Baby John'

    On the work front, Shroff was last seen in Vijay Maurya's comedy-drama Mast Mein Rehne Ka, where he shared the screen with Neena Gupta.

    He is currently working on Rohit Shetty's Singham Again, which features an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, his son Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone.

    He is also part of Kalees's Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh.
