Father’s Day 2025: Vardhaan Puri Honors Men Who Shaped His Heart And Craft

Actor Vardhaan Puri reflects on a rich family legacy this Father's Day, 15th June 2025. His journey is deeply rooted in the teachings of his grandfather, Amrish Puri, and father, Rajeev Puri. These lessons have shaped his life and career, instilling values that he cherishes and strives to uphold.

"My grandfather always told my father that life is nothing without passion. And therefore, every moment must be infused with so much passion that the universe gives you everything you're seeking. Of course, for that, it is very necessary for one to be punctual, disciplined, and have tremendous amounts of resilience. This lesson through my grandfather and my father has been passed to me. And these are qualities which I constantly keep nurturing. At least, I try my best to," says Actor Vardhaan Puri.

Legacy of Values

The wisdom imparted by his Dadu continues to guide Vardhaan's path. He treasures the morning mantra shared by his grandfather: "Khud hi ko kar buland itna, ki har takdeer se pehle Khuda aakar tumse khud poocche ki bata teri raza kya hai." This translates to making oneself so capable that even destiny seeks your wishes. It's a daily reminder of strength and purpose.

Vardhaan sees his family's legacy as more than just acting; it's about integrity and emotional depth. He feels honored to carry forward the discipline and values passed down through generations. Despite being a beginner compared to his accomplished forefathers, he strives to make them proud while nurturing his individuality.

A Bridge Across Generations

His father, Rajeev Puri, serves as a bridge between him and Amrish Puri. Rajeev embodies strong ethics and love, drawing from both Nihal Chand Puri and Amrish Puri's teachings. Vardhaan often sees reflections of his grandfather in his father—both in appearance and voice—and admires their unwavering commitment.

The connection with cinema runs deep for Vardhaan. He shares a profound love for stage and film with his grandfather. To them, entertainment isn't just a part of life; it's their entire existence. They believe artists must engage audiences as kings and gods while also educating them.

Honoring Timeless Wisdom

This Father's Day isn't just about celebrating the men who influenced him; it's about honoring the wisdom they've passed down. With humility and purpose, Vardhaan moves forward in life while always remembering his roots.
