Jackie Shroff

I adore the man.

After my mother, it has always been Dev Saab for me.

I remember, when I was a child, my mother would dress me up and comb my hair like Dev Anand. I would fancy myself as Dev Anand, too. Swamidada.

Imagine how I felt. The same man who I idolised as a child, giving me a role -- I was thrilled!

Today, whenever he rings me up and says, "Jackie, I need you," I hasten to be there for him.

He is my greatest idol.
