In his post, Kumar shared a touching message accompanied by a photograph of himself and his father, expressing gratitude for the values instilled in him. He wrote:
From Having The Best One To
Trying to Be the best possible..Happy Fathers’ Day to me
has started meaning something different since the time I
became one… My father who started as a “Daakiya’
(Postman)& then bank clerk, took all the pain to give us
the best education whether it meant taking loans & even
after education when I decided to do something different,
after some bit of counseling when he realised that my
heart lay elsewhere… again motivated me to follow my
heart & treated TVF team like his own children..although
he hates TV or any screen whatsoever
9.. Today when I
see my daughter (already growing faster than wind) I
know that I will do my best to provide.. but hope to be as
good as my father when it comes to letting her make her
own choices and chart her own destiny as my Dad did❤️
