Arjun Bijlani - My fondest memory of my father is that he always used to say do what your heart says. He always encouraged to do what I love. Father’s Day is important to me as I am a father too. My father, Sudarshan Bijlani, is no more but I remember him regularly and his blessings are with me.
Shashank Vyas- My father Vipin Vyas has supported me in all my endeavours. He is my friend and guide. My mother is not in this world, so I consult my father whenever I need anything. He always encourages me to do my best in everything. His opinions are always objective. My fondest memory is when he used to drop me at school in Ujjain.
Laksh Lalwani -The best thing I learnt from my dad, Romesh Lalwani is to be courageous and to have a never-give-up attitude. I think the teachings of your father, his experience and the time that he gives and are the most valued possessions.
Rohan Gandotra - As I am not with my family, I am going to gift my father something which would be delivered to him at home. I am planning to give him Saregama caravan because he loves listening to old music. When I decided to go into acting, he was very supportive of my decision and he still motivates me if I feel little depressed sometimes. He always tells me to never give up hope in life and in my career.
Sehban Azim - Even though my father is not with us anymore yet he is still there with me in my heart and in all my decisions in life. When I miss my father Abdul Azim Siddiqui, I feed the poor and the needy. There's a bit of satisfaction that comes with this because he used to love charity. All he told me was to be myself and work hard.
He had seen me doing a couple of shows and was proud of it. My father has taught me everything from being a good human to the knowledge of the universe, I couldn't have asked for more. If I could be fifty per cent of what he was, then I think I have achieved something in life. He never leaves my thoughts and is forever within me and he'll always be my hero. My fondest memory is when once I made a mistake and he didn’t scold me, rather he explained to me the criticality of the mistake.
Sheena Bajaj - The best gift my father gave me is his name. This Father's Day, I want to be with my father and spend time with him. He told me to be myself and have patience when I started acting. I have followed that. I will take him out for dinner on Father’s Day.
Ayyaz Ahmed - My father's name is Abraar Ahmed and he stays in Calcutta. I celebrated both Father’s Day and Mother’s Day when I was in Calcutta a week back. We shopped and I took them out for a nice dinner. I had a good conversation about life and my future with them. I love my father and I take care of him whenever it's needed.
Mohammad Nazim – My dad, Abdul Majeed, is an excellent human being. I love him so much and have learnt so much from him. He has always been there to pull me up when I feel low and to celebrate my victories. He has always taught me to be honest, first with myself, and then with others. I have always followed that. This Father’s Day, I will take him out for dinner and maybe a movie.
Vikas Grover - My father's name is Mr Sanjeev Grover. I will be spending the day at an old age shelter. My father has always been very supportive. The only piece of advice he gave me when I decided to embark on this journey was, not to lose myself in the pomp and show of the industry. I have followed his advice till day and intend to do that forever. My life is the best gift my father has given me.
Abraam Pandey- A father may be described in various ways! He is the provider, the protector, the saviour, the creator and everything you can think of. Somebody rightly said that “The greatest gift I ever had came from God; I call him Dad”. It is the time when we should understand, how lucky we are to have a father. There are people out there who are not lucky enough to have a father and they are the one who will understand the importance of having a father.
In my life, my father is the greatest fighter and he taught me one thing that respect is the thing which can’t be earned in a day or month so behave like a true gentleman and respect your elders and love people younger to you. As I am a self-made man, In that case, I consider every single word of my father and his advice are a treasure and best gift for me and I remember all of them.
TellyChakkar wishes its readers a ’happy father’s day.’
