Stars on Fathers Day

People across the world are celebrating Fathers' Day and on this occasion, few stars spoke about their love for their father.

NTR remembering his father Harikrishna said ' I am lucky to be his son. He never used to talk in two ways. I never expected to be an actor. When he came to know that I got an offer, he instilled confidence and encouraged me to act. Father always told not to be scared of anything and don't expect help from anyone but to live independently and said his blessing will be always there"

Allu Arjun said 'Father from the beginning worked hard and became a top producer. He encouraged us to work hard like him. I did few films in his banner after my debut film Gangotri and he bothered about the result and never spoke about it even in the house. He told me success and failure are part of life. After the birth of my son, I feel it is enough if I achieve half of what my father achieved. I don't know whether I reach that stage but I will try to be like him. Let me see if I can achieve that"

Alia Bhatt said her father Mahesh Bhatt used to support her since her childhood and suggest solutions to problems rather than pity her. Alia said this helped her face any problem singlehandedly. Rashika Mandanna says she had doubts whether her father Madan loves her like her mother but later realized that in spite of his professional pressure, he always used to support her. She said it was her dad who encouraged her to do Chalo in Telugu when she was scared as Tollywood is very big.

Shruti Haasan said her dad Kamal Haasan is the reason for her success. She said he brought her up like a guy and encouraged her to take her own decisions. She said though her dad faced financial problems during her childhood, he ensured that she never knew about them.
