Mumbai, Oct 8 Bollywood actress and former beauty queen Manushi Chhillar credits her father and doctor Mitra Basu Chhillar for his dedication that inspired her to dream of being a “clinician” when she was younger.
Manushi took to Instagram where she re-shared a post by her father, who is in a conversation with actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu for her podcast.
Sharing a glimpse of the chat, Manushi wrote a note for her dad, which read: “@dr_mitra_basu_chhillar, he’s always been more than just a doctor to me. Watching my dad pour his heart into helping others live healthier lives, day in and day out, shows me what passion truly looks like.”
“It’s his dedication that inspired me to dream of being a clinician when I was younger, and even now, his relentless commitment reminds me that age is no limit when you’re following your purpose,” she added.
Manushi, who comes from Rohtak, comes from a family full of doctors. Her father, Mitra Basu Chhillar, is a physician and scientist at Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), while her mother, Neelam Chhillar is the departmental head of neurochemistry at the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences, New Delhi.
