After Amitabh Bachchan, actor Jackie Shroff reacted to the ongoing controversy over using ‘Bharat’ instead of ‘India’.
During a media interaction, actor Jackie Shroff said, “Earlier, our country was called Bharat right? My name is Jackie, some call me Jocky, and some call me Jaki. People change my name because of that I will not change. Just the name will change, we will not. You people keep changing the country’s name, but don’t forget that you are an Indian.”
Jackie Shroff and Dia Mirza attended the ‘Planet India’ campaign event in New Delhi today.

Earlier today, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan’s latest tweet caught the eyeballs of all the fans.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Amitabh wrote in Hindi, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai.”
As his tweet came during the India-Bharat row, it seems like Big B has just showcased his support in favour of India’s name change.
