The quirky parent-child relationship with a Bollywood treatment

Son wanted to go on a trip. Reminded him about the things he could've done and been somewhere in life by now. A guilt trip is still a trip.

This tweet by TheIndianFather perfectly encapsulates the essence of a parent-child relationship. And the amazing dynamic between a parent and a child has been spectacularly woven in stories of a few Bollywood films.

Let’s check them out below!

 “Dharamvir, naam toh suna hi hoga”. No? Raj’s father Dharamvir Malhotra played by Anupam Kher was the coolest father in the world! He not only congratulated his son on failing his exam but also sent him on a trip to Switzerland, and the rest is history. Without him, there would’ve been no ‘Dilwales’ or ‘Dulhanias’.

Paa is a beautiful film about a boy suffering from progeria who reconnects with his father in a series of cute events.

All these movies showcase the amazing bond between a parent and child - the selfless, never-ending, eternal love that parents shower their children with.

When they age, all that parents ask for is time and little attention. So, go ahead and spend some quality time with your parents and create lasting memories of this beautiful bond. All those who do this deserve a #PatOnTheBack.
