Take this fun personality quiz
Papa. Baba. Appa. Acchan. Different ways of addressing him but there is a certain common comfort in all of these words. Fathers’ love is safe, forgiving, patient, kind and selfless. More often than not, fathers or fatherly figures have different ways of expressing their love towards their children just like reel dads. Whether it is Shahrukh Khan going berserk when he finds out his kid has joined a summer camp in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or Bunny’s dad in Yeh Jawaani Hai Diwani gifting him a backpack for his trip to Manali despite him being worried about the trip, dads have such varying ways of expressing their love.
This Father’s Day, we bring you five iconic fathers from your favourite movies for you to find out which character best represents your dad.
Amitabh Bachchan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
Your dad can come across as a strict and stern dad who is particular about family values and traditions, just like Yashvardhan Raichand from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. But underneath that tough exterior, lies a softhearted man who only wants the best for you. Having said that, it just takes one gaze from him to make you drop everything and follow his advice. Especially, when he goes “Keh diya na, bas keh diya!”
Anupam Kher in Diwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
Like Anupam Kher aka Dharamvir Malhotra from DDLJ, your father is the funniest. Even a regular conversation with him makes your family and you split your sides. He’s more of a friend than a father and your friends think he’s cooler than you. He’s always supportive of all your choices and he’s your go-to person and the 2 am friend for sure.
Amitabh Bachchan in Piku
Your dad, like Bhaskor Bannerjee from Piku worries about everything, be it the weather or the food you eat. But he is much more than his worrisome character. He has always given you the freedom you need, be it in your career choices, dressing or education. He’s raised you to be an independent person and it’s honestly the best gift he could ever give you.
Will Smith in Pursuit of Happyness
He is hard-working, determined and persevering and you know that he does all this for your safe and secure life. You often find him speaking about the struggles from his early days and how he worked hard to give the family all the comforts and happiness. He always has motivational quotes up his sleeve that he slips into conversations. He often sounds like Will Smith from Pursuit of Happyness quoting, “You got a dream, you gotta protect it. If you want something, you go get it. Period.”
Mohanlal in Drishyam
Your dad is known for his protective instincts and his intent to do just about anything for your safety. Similar to Georgekutty in Drishyam, he would fight the world for you and your well-being. He always watches over you, and sometimes, even protects you from your mom and her taunts. According to him, no matter how old you are or will be, you’ll always be his little baby.

My pa is worlds best pa.
Amitabh Bachchan in piku is suitable to my pa I love him I don’t know how to say bt I never say him “I love you”. He always support me and he want to see his daughters success and be independent not depend on any one. And him he care and always worry about me how I am, feeling well or not.
I use to call ever day my day start with my pa and ma without talking with them i will not feel good and in the lunch time also
And my day end with my pa’s and ma’s good night if i skip this routine means I just start to cry next day when they call me. For me not only today is fathers day or mother’s day every day 24/7 and 367days of a year every day is my father’s day and mother’s today not only I remember my father or nt only my mother both are my heart ? and every one knows without heart no one can survive. “I love you pa & ma” I missing them a lot. And this is 1st time that I leaving without them.

For me my dad plays the character of Piku. It is for them that if you are going outside to have fun, buy all the same things at home, bring them into the house, have fun at home, have a party at home, because there is no peace outside because there is peace in the house.And the most important topic is marriage for me, for my father, my marriage is not that much important, why if it is important to say that get married but stay with me at my house with my husband.

Father- Daughter’s first love!!
My father is like a coconut strict from outside but inside always wants the best for his child or call it a dad from “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham”. From being punctual, discipline to being notorious everything I learned from my father. But never found a way to express those feelings for him.
“Being a father means loving your children more than you’ve ever loved yourself.” best suits to father’s.
The many things he has done, all the times that he was there, help me know deep down inside, how much he really care. Even though I might not say, I appreciate all he did, richly blessed is how I feel, having a Father just like him.
Lots of love and health is what I wish for him…

My father is like progressive papa like Piku. He never interefered with my career, whether it was joining as a teacher during Btech or going far away from him to Goa for my job or marrying the girl of my choice. He has always supported me. There are many more things which are countless. I can’t thank him or return the favors the whole life.
