Mumbai, Feb 23 || Actor Jackie Shroff paid a heartfelt tribute to legendary actress Madhubala on her 57th death anniversary, remembering her as an eternal icon of grace and beauty.
Honouring her timeless legacy, he also referenced the classic song Jab Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya from her 1960 magnum opus “Mughal-E-Azam”.
Jackie took to Instagram stories, where he shared a sepia-hued vintage photograph of Madhubala, who was one of the finest actresses in the history of Indian cinema. He added the song Jab Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya by Lata Mangeshkar playing in the background.
