The world of showbiz is brimming with superheroes, but for a slew of television actors, their dads are their real superheroes.
On the occasion of Father’s Day, which falls on June 16, celebrities from the Hindi television industry shared their thoughts:
Faisal Khan (Chandragupta Maurya in ‘Chandragupta Maurya’): My father has been my biggest pillar of support in my life and is one person I have looked up to for everything. Coming from a middle-class family, I never felt deprived of anything as my father always fulfilled my needs and never let me feel otherwise. My dad has always been a provider and the backbone of our family. I still remember the days when he used to drive a rickshaw to earn for our family and now he does it for fun. It makes me so happy that my father is proud of me and it is because of his hard work and support that I have reached where I am today.

Reem Shaikh (Kalyani in ‘Tujhse Hai Raabta’): “My father has been a constant support through my entire journey and has encouraged me to chase my dreams. He is my best friend who is always guiding and helping me make the right choices and to do the right thing. I am more than thankful for him because he is a blessing in my life. He is the first person I want to share things with and seek advice from.
Ashnoor Kaur (Mini in ‘Patiala Babes’): More than a father, he is like a brother to me. We are best of friends and are really open to each other and that’s the reason, I am comfortable sharing everything with him. Out of all the beautiful moments that I have shared with my father, my favourite moment was hearing from him that the day I was born, he was so happy and elated that he hosted a huge celebration with close family and friends. Hearing this really made me feel special as at a time when people used to be sad with the birth of a daughter in the house, my father broke the norm and was the happiest father in the world.
