The Story in Brief
Actor Jackie Shroff knelt and touched veteran actress Vyjayanthimala's feet in a video shared on her 93rd birthday on August 13, 2026. Shroff, dressed casually, approached her with folded hands, then bowed to touch and kiss her feet before she blessed him. He captioned the clip 'One of my favourites! All my respects!' The video went viral, with many praising his humility and Vyjayanthimala's graceful appearance. Vyjayanthimala, a former parliamentarian and trained dancer, was one of Hindi cinema's biggest stars in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Indian Opinion
The internet loves a humble star moment, but cynics may see it as staged reverence. Yet Shroff's gesture, captured casually, felt unscripted. Vyjayanthimala's legacy as a dancer and parliamentarian is often reduced to nostalgia. The real test is whether the industry translates this respect into better roles for actresses past their prime. Will producers cast her again, or just settle for birthday selfies?
