On screen, we often see heroes protecting the heroine and think, “I wish someone like that existed in my life too.” But we often forget—the real hero in our lives is already there: our father. He may not wear a cape, but he protects, supports, and loves us every day. His silent strength shapes our world in the most beautiful way. This Father’s Day, Eshaa Pathak, who plays Gauri in Sun Neo’s Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, opens up about her special bond with her father.
Eshaa shares, “There are so many memories with my dad that continue to guide me every single day. Honestly, a father is truly irreplaceable. One thing I’ll never forget is the effort he always put in for me. My childhood routine was hectic—school, classes, coming home late—but no matter how tired he was from work, he was always there. Without resting or even having tea, he would drop me to class, wait outside, and bring me back—rain or shine. Even after a long day, he would sit beside me while I did my homework. Even if he was sleepy, he stayed until I finished. I’m very proud of him and feel incredibly blessed. If every girl had a father like mine, it would be the most beautiful thing in her life.”
She also spoke about the quality she admires most in her father, “What I love most is how calm he is. No matter how tough or stressful the situation, I’ve never seen him lose his temper. I’ve grown up watching him face everything with patience and peace. He never shouted or reacted in anger, even during difficult times. That’s what makes him so special. When you’re calm, you think clearly and make better decisions—and that’s something I truly hope to learn from him.”
Sharing her Father’s Day plans, the Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri added, “This year, I’m taking some time off from Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri to do something special for him. I want to bring him all his favorite things and cook something he really enjoys. He has a sweet tooth, so I’ll try to make a dessert that puts a smile on his face. All I want is for him to feel loved and to know how much he means to me. This Father’s Day, I want him to know that his daughter did something just for him—from the heart.”
Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri follows the story of Gauri, a strong, kind-hearted girl who, despite an unwanted marriage, faces life’s challenges with courage and faith. Starring Eshaa Pathak, Savi Thakur, and Swati Shah, this emotional drama airs every night at 8:30 PM on Sun Neo.
