Actress Prarthana Behere, best known for her role as Vaishali in the popular show Pavitra Rishta, is in mourning following the recent passing of her father. He lost his life in a tragic road accident earlier this month.
In a heartfelt tribute, Prarthana shared a touching image of her mobile screensaver featuring her father’s photo along with the angelic time ’11:11.’ She captioned the picture with a simple yet poignant message: “Miss you, Baba.” In her social media post, she expressed her grief and shared an emotional note reflecting on the values and teachings imparted by her father.
Prarthana wrote in Marathi, which translates to, “Even after death, you will be remembered, someone will smile through their tears, and life will continue — that’s what living means.” She added, “My father… Unfortunately, he passed away in a road accident on October 14. Baba, life feels like it has stopped since you’re gone. Your smile still echoes in our ears, your confidence strengthens our minds, and from your life we learn that happiness is not about circumstances but about attitude.”
She took the opportunity to thank her father for instilling important values in her life. “Your integrity, service, and unending love for people have taught us the true value of humanity. You taught us that helping others is the real satisfaction. Even though you are not with us today, your voice and songs always give us strength,” she remarked.
Prarthana made a promise to continue making him proud through her work. She stated, “I’ve been doing the same things that you’d be proud of to date. About to start working even harder now. Wherever you are, it is my duty to continue to pay tribute to you with my wonderful work. I will be careful not to let tears fall from my eyes because I don’t want to see you gray either. The smile on your lips is always in my mind. I’m going to take responsibility for maintaining that.”
Towards the end of her emotional post, she reassured her father of her strength. “Don’t worry… I am very strong. Because even if you’re not with me, I’m sure you’re with me. I love you, Baba; miss you forever. — Your Tumpa,” she concluded.
According to her message, her father passed away on October 14.
