She read a heartfelt letter from her father, Prakash Padukone, an ace badminton player in India.
Dear Deepika and Anisha,
As you stand at the threshold of life’s journey, I would like to share with you some of the lessons life has taught me. I started playing badminton. At that time, there were no stadiums or courts where athletes could train. Our badminton court was the Kanara Union Bank wedding hall near our house. That’s where I learned all about the game. Every day, I waited in the hall to see if there was an event, and if not, I rushed there after school to play. Looking back, the most important thing about my childhood and adolescence was my refusal to complain about many things in my life. bottom. In fact, the foundation upon which my career and life was built was my refusal to whine about anything. And that’s what I want to pass on to my children. There is nothing better than perseverance, hard work, determination and passion for whatever you choose to do. If you love what you do, nothing else matters. No prizes, no rewards, not even the joy of seeing your face in the newspapers and on TV. But it didn’t distract me from the sheer joy of helping put India on the world map in this game. When we spoke to us, we felt you were too young and too inexperienced to be alone in a big city or an industry we knew nothing about. Ultimately, we decided you would follow your heart and thought it would be cruel not to give our child a chance to pursue the dream she lived and breathed. I’m proud of it, but even if I fail, I won’t regret not trying. Deepika, I’ve learned that you can’t always win in life. The event doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to. To win some, you have to lose some. You have to learn to take life’s ups and downs in your stride. The amount of effort I put into the game remained the same from day one until retirement. Even in the most difficult times, I focused on what I had instead of dwelling on what I didn’t have. Remember what I always tell you about the importance of making your own way in the world without waiting for your parents to pull the strings? I think the best thing to do is to work hard to make your dreams come true and not be handed a platter. Deepika, when you are visiting us make your own bed, clear the table after meals and sleep on the floor if you have guests in the house. Why do we treat you like a star If there is ever a question of refusal, it is because you are our daughter first and a movie star later. It’s the real world. Even if you’re a player too new and too small to make a big difference, try to create positive emotions around you. You are in an industry that always costs big money, but I believe that it is important to try to be the best in whatever you do, regardless of the money. , honesty, and respect for parents and elders. Material success is important, not fundamental to happiness and peace of mind. I can’t say enough about the rejuvenating power of prayer and a little faith. Close your eyes, meditate, and take a few minutes out of your day to think about God. Then you will see how your faith in God’s power will strengthen you. Finally, when your career is behind you, what remains is the family and friends you have made. Everything else is temporary. And remember, no matter what, we will always be there for you.
with affection,
Papa
