What rapport Esha Deol shares with her father?
My Dad is my God! We both share a very special relationship. Contrary to the belief that he wasn’t around during my growing up days, he has always been there, whenever I have wanted him. I have no complaints against him. In fact, when mom used to be away, he would take care of us. Once I remember mom was out of town. Early in the morning he woke me and my sister up and bathed us. After that he dressed me up in a party frock, though it was 10 am, put dark kohl in my eyes and I was all set to go nowhere. It was so sweet!
Even at this age, dad is very romantic. He writes poems, he regales us with tales of the days he was courting mom. Believe me, the way he looks at mom, anyone can make out the feelings that he has for her. There’s so much of respect, romance and love between them. Dad has everything a woman wants – charm, looks, humility, respect for his partner – no wonder mom fell in love with him! I want a man like my dad. I want my kids to have a father like him. My relationship with him has evolved over the years. He is like a friend to me but I don’t cross the line of respect. Dad believes that daughters are the emotional support of their parents and I agree with him. By nature I am very bindaas and fearless, but if there is any person that I am scared of, then it’s my dad. He has complete control over me! If anything wrong happens to dad, then I crumble. He is my pillar of strength.
Interestingly, of late, dad has been taking extra interest in my looks. He thinks that the new look that I have got looks great on me. The whole world may think that I look like my mom, but dad believes that I look like him. One thing dad loves to see me in are Indian clothes. He is shooting in Bangkok today, so I will wish him over the phone and give him the gifts that I picked up recently on my world tour when he comes back home.
