"My brother died when I was 10. He was 17. He tried to save somebody. He drowned. That’s the way life is, we’ve all seen this. Dil mein reh jaate hain, photo reh jaate hain," Jackie told Twinkle on her Tweak India platform.

He further said, "Bhai ko bola tha, ‘aaj kharab din hai, mat jaana bahar’ He used to work at Century Mills. He was a mill hand. He said ‘Don’t go to your mill today.’ And he didn’t go. But he went down to save somebody in the sea, and drowned, without knowing how to swim."

The megastar also said that an astrologer had told them that it was a 'bad day' for his brother and that he shouldn't go out. The astrologer also predicted that he would become an actor.
