As a mother myself, this hits home. The way she describes Honor - "never followed the crowd" - is exactly what we want for our children back home too. But I wish our Indian parents would express their pride so openly. We say "beta badhiya kiya" but never write such heartfelt letters. Jessica is showing us a beautiful way to celebrate our children's milestones. 😊
Honestly, as an Indian parent, I find it refreshing that Hollywood stars are so open about their children's achievements. Our culture quietly celebrates success, but we should learn from this - to express our pride more vocally. Honor is lucky to have such a supportive mother. Full-circle moment indeed! 👏
That caption "time is fleeting, time is sacred"... reminds me of our shlokas about time. While I'm happy for Jessica Alba and Honor, I wonder if Indian media and society should focus more on our own students' achievements too. We have millions of graduates every year whose parents feel equally proud. Still, a lovely post and a proud moment for any parent. 💫
As a father of a daughter in Bangalore, this made me emotional. These Hollywood stories remind us that the parent-child bond is universal. Whether it's Bollywood or Hollywood, the tears of pride are the same. Jessica Alba expressing her love so beautifully - I wish more fathers in India would learn to say these things to their daughters. ❤️
Slightly off-topic but interesting how Americans celebrate graduation as a huge
