More than just being a father, he is my confidante, buddy, my partner in crime and someone I could pour my heart out to as and when required. I remember as a kid, he always used to get something while returning from work, it could be a toy, a candy bar or something that invariably brought a smile to my face. He has always been there in the best and worst times and has always taken me through it.

For every daughter, her father is her first hero and always will be, because the only man we want in our lives is a reflection of the one who raised us. My dad is the one, who made me believe in love and I will always be thankful for that.

After pursuing my masters in the UK, I managed to get a stable job but somewhere I knew it wasn’t meant for me. All I had to do was call my dad and share my doubts for I knew he would support me wholeheartedly. He is a lawyer and a man of principle, who has taught me and my sister to be honest about what may come. I think that’s the biggest life lesson I got from him.

This year, I haven’t made any plans in particular for Father’s Day since my daddy is really busy with my wedding preparations. I remember when my sister and I were just kids, he used to give us a nice ‘head chumpi’ on the weekends, post which we would sit in the sun and then take a bath. He’s taken really good care of us for which we won’t be able to thank him enough. My father is also the one who taught us the importance of respect. He always said that you give respect to everyone irrespective of their social status, religion etc. and at the same time ensure you have it for yourself. This is something I try living by every day.

Even though my father faced a lot of ups and downs in his life, he never let me or my brother know anything about it, in case we get affected. He is a superhero, who believes in being positive and I think I have got the trait from him.

My father has stood by me like a rock from the time I started off my career in this field and through all the ups and downs I have faced. He has supported me throughout and he is my true inspiration.
Happy Father’s Day to all daddies out there!!!

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
