Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has shared the first post on social media following his father, astrologer P Khurrana’s demise. He shared a series of pictures from the prayer meet and thanked his father for his upbringing, love, sense of humour, and the most beautiful memories.
His note read, ‘Maa ka khayal rakhna hai aur humesha saath rehna hai.' 'Pita jaisa banne ke liye bahut duur jaana padta hai apne pita se.” Pehli baar aisa mehsoos ho raha hai ki papa bahut duur aur bahut qareeb hain humare. Thank you for your upbringing, love, sense of humour and the most beautiful memories.’
Several fans and celebrities like Arjun Kapoor and Esha Gupta have reacted to his post and offered their condolences.
His wife, author-producer Tahira Kashyap also penned a heartfelt note for her father-in-law on social media.
‘Papa. A relationship since I was in high school. I remember all my firsts. The first time I came to your home which had a full filmi family picture. To the first time I used my salary in college to gift you and mama a portrait that I got made from an artist to impress you. The time I struggled to call you papa and then it just didn’t leave. The first time I had heard that you were absolutely cool with me not shifting my base after marriage,’ she wrote.
She added, ‘You respected my family, broke all traditions and let me stay happy. How often do you see that. There have been many firsts. But this first I am about to mention perhaps was the last. Just 2 days back I was going through your things and saw you kept the magazine which had my cover. This was clicked many years back but you treasured it and I never knew. Breaks my heart to not have the hero around to the boy I love the most. I haven’t met perhaps never will meet someone like you. I will never forgot your laughter, we’ll miss you papa’
