Actor Raj Arjun<\/a> couldn\u2019t be prouder as his daughter, Sara Arjun<\/a>, has been earning acclaim for her performance opposite Ranveer Singh<\/a> in Dhurandhar. In an emotional note, Raj called Sara a blessing in his life, saying he reached his destination because of her.<\/p>\n

\"Sara Sara Arjun is daughter of actor Raj Arjun and dance teacher Sanya Arjun, (Instagram) Sara Arjun gets thumbs up from father<\/p>\n

Sara Arjun\u2019s father, actor Raj Arjun, took to Instagram to share an emotional note in Hindi, reflecting on his journey as both a father and an actor.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes, to understand life, we have to look back. And looking back, we understand \u2013 We think we’re raising our children, but time and opportunity tell us\u2026 In reality, they’re the ones raising us,\u201d he began his note.<\/p>\n

In the post, he recalled coming to Mumbai in 1999 with hunger for art and confidence in his talent. The actor emphasised that he came to the city with no connections, and spent many days giving auditions. He confessed that his life completely changed in 2005 when Sara came into his life as his daughter.<\/p>\n

He shared, \u201cI had heard that daughters are a blessing \u2014 and then I truly lived that truth. A little while after she came into my life, I landed my first lead role: Ram Gopal Varma\u2019s Shabri. The film got stuck, but she never let the fire inside me die. For the first time, I felt that I, too, could become someone\u2026 that I, too, could achieve something. And the truth is \u2013 had her soul not entered my life, I wouldn\u2019t be the person I am today\u2026 nor the artist I\u2019ve managed to become.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raj Arjun continued, \u201cPeople say fathers show daughters the path\u2026 but my story is the opposite. I reached my destination because of my daughter. Work would stop, roads looked blurry, but she was growing\u2026 slowly\u2026 silently\u2026 holding me together. I didn\u2019t break, I didn\u2019t run\u2014 I just\u2026 stayed still. Because her shining eyes told me every day ‘Stand firm\u2026 I need you right now.’ I thought I was supporting her \u2014 but in reality, she was becoming the Dhurandhar, and she was supporting me.”<\/p>\n

“Being a father is not just being a father. Sometimes you have to be a dad, sometimes a friend, sometimes a brother\u2026 and sometimes like the air \u2013 giving freedom and space. Space \u2013 where there is no fear, only trust. I didn\u2019t make her path, I simply walked beside her. I didn\u2019t become the guard of her dreams \u2013 I became her companion. I only said one thing \u2013 ‘Dream your dreams\u2026 I am right behind you.’ And the truth is \u2013 when we trust our children\u2019s dreams, one day they too illuminate our destinations, becoming our Dhurandhar,” he added.<\/p>\n

Concluding the note, he wrote, \u201cThe story isn\u2019t over yet\u2026 the rest of the journey awaits in the next breath\u2026”<\/p>\n

For the unversed, Sara played a young Nandini, Aishwarya Rai<\/a>\u2019s character, in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan. She rose to fame in 2011 when she played Vikram\u2019s daughter in the Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal. She gained critical acclaim for her role in the 2014 film Saivam, produced by Vijay. Sara has worked as a child actor in Hindi films Ek Thi Daayan, Jai Ho, Jazbaa, and Saand Ki Aankh, among others. Dhurandhar is her first film as an adult.<\/p>\n
