Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, who will be seen as a special guest on India’s Got Talent this weekend, got teary-eyed during a performance on the show. A new promo of the episode shared on Instagram by Sony Entertainment Television showed him being so impressed by a performance that he went up to the stage to touch the contestant’s feet.
The contestant was singer Ishita Vishwakarma, who sang Lata Mangeshkar’s song ‘Bada Dukh Dina O Ramji’ from the 1989 movie Ram Lakhan, in which Jackie Shroff played an upright policeman Ram Pratap Singh. The new footage from India’s Got Talent showed Jackie folding his hands and then touching his ears as a sign of respect.
Another part of the clip showed him bowing his head with folded hands. The actor appeared to become misty-eyed behind his glasses, and later blew a kiss to the performer to express his admiration. “Mai kho gaya tha inki aawaz mein (I got lost in her voice),” he is heard saying.

Badshah, who is a judge on the show, also went up to the stage to touch Ishita’s feet.
The Jackie Shroff-special episode, where contestants will be performing songs from his movies, will be aired on Sony TV in two parts this Saturday and Sunday. The show is judged by Shilpa Shetty, Kirron Kher, and Manoj Muntashir, apart from Badshah
