The crowd responded with great warmth as the son of the He Man of Bollywood expressed his deep personal gratitude.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see my father\u2019s love in all your eyes. My father touched everyone\u2019s hearts through his work and even through his Instagram reels, which had become his new hobby.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe always wanted people to stay happy and believed that God has given all of us so much in life.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe used to say that we all have a special gift within us, and if we believe in it, we can achieve anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bobby Deol thanked the organisers and the audience for showing such immense respect to his beloved and legendary father.<\/p>\n
His words resonated with everyone present as he celebrated the life and legacy of the man he called best.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why he worked in this industry for so many years, he saw both good and bad times but never gave up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever I go and whoever I meet, I receive so much love because my father opened people\u2019s hearts for us, for me, my brother, and our family.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cPeople love him so much that they welcomed us into their hearts without hesitation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cAnd today, standing here, I feel like I\u2019ll go home and tell him, \u2018Papa, you couldn\u2019t come, so I\u2019ve brought your award with me\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel very blessed and grateful to God for making me his son. Thank you so much. Papa, you are the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
