Jackie Shroff celebrates 25 years of the film Lajja

The film ‘Lajja’ has completed 25 years since its release in 2001. To mark the occasion, actor Jackie Shroff shared a montage video of clips from the film on his Instagram stories.

In the film, Jackie Shroff played the role of Raghunath (Raghu), an affluent NRI husband who mistreats his wife, Vaidehi (played by Manisha Koirala).
