Talking about his struggling days, Jackie Shroff said, "I have also stayed in a chawl for 33 years of my life. We were 30 of us, with only 7 flats and 3 bathrooms. My mother had to sell utensils and sarees to pay my school fees. But, what we need is magic within ourselves and we can achieve anything no matter where we come from. Years later, despite becoming a hero, I still happened to live there for a few more years since I was so emotionally attached to the place."

The rest of the judges felt a little tinge of dismay on hearing about his past and the struggles he had faced back then. But despite it all, he smilingly said, "Tabhi gham kam tha, jab kamre kam the."
