"I fulfilled my dad’s dream", Raveena Tandon on missing her father when she was felicitated with the 'Padma Shri'
At a ceremony held yesterday at Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi, President Droupadi Murmu presented Raveena Tandon with the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honour. The actor acknowledges that receiving the honour was a difficult experience for her because she was missing her late father, Ravi Tandon.
“It was definitely was an emotional moment for me because it was something that my father had always dreamt and thought that it is going to be a proud moment (for him) whenever I get the Padma Shri honour,” says Raveena, who made a quick trip to the national capital to receive the honour.
The 50-year-old continues, “I did get the honour, but unfortunately, he is not here to see it. So, getting the honour was mixed emotions for me. It came with a bit of happiness and a bit of more happiness. More happiness was when I was thinking about him and saying (to myself) that at least, I fulfilled my dad’s dream”.
