Carrying forward familial values with personal integrity and commitment

Vardhaan said that his grandfather always told his father that life is nothing without passion and that every moment must be infused with so much passion that the universe gives you everything you're seeking.

Recalling the valuable advice by the late Amrish Puri, he revealed, "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."

Furthermore, Vardhaan disclosed the morning mantra he got from his Dadu.

"My grandfather always used to say that Khud hi ko kar buland itna, ki har takdeer se pehle Khuda aakar tumse khud poocche ki bata teri raza kya hai. It translates in English to make yourself so able and strong that God himself asks you--tell me a wish and I shall fulfill it. This is something which I say to myself every morning," he said.

For Vardhaan his grandfather's legacy is not just about acting, but about integrity.

"It feels like an absolute honor to carry my family's name and the legacy of discipline, craft, and values. In fact, all of this is being passed on from my forefathers. Of course, my grandfather and my father are great achievers and they've lived wonderful lives. In front of them, I'm just a beginner. I'm just a student and I'm constantly persevering to make them proud and, of course, at the same time, I'm protecting and nurturing my own individuality. I think life without discipline and values is rather incomplete," Vardhaan shared.

The Puri family's dedication to craft is inspiring. But I do wonder - does Vardhaan feel pressured to match his grandfather's iconic roles like Mogambo? That's a tough act to follow! Hope he finds his own unique path while honoring the legacy.

Beautiful read on Father's Day! But I wish articles like this would also highlight the women in such families who uphold these values silently. Legacy isn't just about famous men - it's a family effort. Just saying!

Discipline and passion - two things our youth needs today! Amrish Puri's life lessons are more relevant than ever. Though I must say, today's film industry values stardom over craft. Hope Vardhaan can change that trend 🤞

This made me emotional! My dad used to imitate Amrish Puri's dialogues at family gatherings. Legends never die - they live through their work and the values they pass on. Vardhaan's respect for his roots is commendable 💖
