Father's Day: Shweta Nanda's heartfelt letter to dad Amitabh Bachchan

New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan is one lucky man! Not only does he have name and fame owing to his illustrious film career, but also a loving family with children Shweta and Abhishek, and grandchildren he loves to talk about. 

Shweta, who is dearly loved by her father has written a loving letter to her father. 

The letter was published by DNA, here are some excerpts:

Being a stranger to the rituals of this day, I thought it best to follow the guidelines and not veer too much from the format. The following are a few things I would like to say to you, please do bear with me, as a lot of what I am about to write may be a repeat of what I have told you innumerable times in the past.

I am so glad you made it to the hospital, in the nick of time, when I was being born, as it is only befitting that you would be one of the first people to hold me.

Thank you for letting the nanny off on weekends so you could bathe, change and feed me yourself.

I am delighted to have inherited your nose and long limbs. Yes, it was awkward being the tallest girl in class and I got teased mercilessly, but I have never had to contort my feet into seven-inch heels and I only have you to thank.

Not only did she speak about her childhood, Shweta also spoke about what Big B has taught her. 

Sitting in your room for hours on end while you played the piano or later driving around town listening to CDs you had collected from around the world, trained my ear to listen to and appreciate all kinds of music, and music has been my friend ever since.

You taught me that if you have been honest, yet the world claims otherwise, do what it takes to restore your good name. Nothing is more important.

When I potter around your office and come across scribbled notes from my children framed on the walls I am reminded that the little things are the only things in life worth holding on to.

Her letter is the best example of the universal love of daughters for their fathers. She ended the letter with a Thank You:

Thank you for giving me the best life any daughter could ask for. You have the largest heart, softest hands and warmest hug in the world. I have learnt to share you with the world only because I know there are also those moments that are only ours. 

The letter would make every father have a tear in his eyes, and the warmest feeling that only a daughter can make you feel!
