 Actors remember the men who moulded their journeys!

International Men’s Day serves as a reminder to appreciate and acknowledge

the vital roles that men play in our lives. Actors from &TV are using this

occasion to honour the remarkable men in their lives—those who have stood

by them, shaped their journeys, and provided unwavering support. Among

them are Neha Joshi (Krishna Devi Vajpayee from Atal), Smita Sable

(Dhaniya from Bheema), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan

Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabhi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai).

Neha Joshi, known for portraying Krishna Devi Vajpayee in Atal, shares, “On

this International Men’s Day, I want to celebrate the incredible man in my

life—my husband, Omkar. He has been my rock, my confidant, and my

greatest support, standing by me through both the joys and challenges life

brings. His unwavering belief in me and constant encouragement have been

the driving force behind my strength and success. Amid the chaos of our

lives, he has remained my calm and anchor—always ready to listen, help,

and offer comforting words. He has taught me the true meaning of

partnership, showing that love and support can empower us to become our

best selves. His presence fills our life with laughter, stability, and warmth.

Today, I honor not only my husband but also all the men who quietly

dedicate themselves to their families, often without recognition. They remind

us that true strength lies not in grand gestures but in everyday acts of love

and kindness.” Smita Sable, who plays Dhaniya in Bheema, reflects, “I am

filled with gratitude as I think of the most incredible man in my life—my

father. He has always been my unwavering support, my mentor, and my

greatest strength. Even now, as I live with him and care for him, I see how he

continues to guide and inspire me every day. Growing up, he instilled in me

the values of resilience, kindness, and self-belief. His quiet strength and

unconditional love have shaped who I am and taught me what true support

looks like. Now, as our roles have shifted, I am honored to be there for him,

just as he has always been there for me. Every moment we share is a

reminder of the bond we’ve built—a bond rooted in love, respect, and deep

understanding. On this special day, I want to celebrate my father and all the

men who serve as pillars of support for their families.”

Himani Shivpuri, known for playing Katori Amma in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan,

shares, “I find myself reflecting on my journey with my incredible son,

Katyayan, who has been my rock, my strength, and my source of hope,

especially after my husband’s passing. Losing a partner is heartbreaking, but

my son stepped up in ways words can hardly express. He filled our home with

light during the darkest times and became the pillar our family could lean

on. In those difficult days, he showed a depth of love, maturity, and

resilience that reminded me of his father’s spirit. He took on responsibilities

without hesitation, offering not only his support but also a sense of peace

and stability that helped me find my footing again. His kindness and patience

have soothed my soul, and his ability to share in both my sorrow and my

memories brings comfort every day. Today, I honor him and all the men who

stand by their families with quiet strength and compassion. Sons like mine

remind us of the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit.”

Shubhangi Atre, who plays Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, reflects,

“My father has been my rock, my guiding star, and the one who taught me

resilience, compassion, and strength. Today, he is bravely fighting one of the

most challenging battles of his life, as he faces cancer. Watching him endure

this journey has been a profound lesson in courage and grace. Despite the

toll it has taken on him physically and emotionally, his spirit remains

unbroken. His unwavering positivity, even on the hardest days, continues to

inspire me. Through his strength, he teaches me what it truly means to live

with dignity and resilience. This International Men’s Day, I want to celebrate

my father and all the fathers, brothers, and sons who face life’s adversities

with courage and strength. My father is not only my hero but also my

reminder of what it means to live a life of purpose and kindness.”
