Kritika remembered Pankaj Dheer’s love

He always used to say, “This is my daughter,” and always gave Kritika love and care like his own daughter. There was always a special twinkle in his eyes, and when he asked, “Who is the best girl in the world?” So Kritika used to smile and answer, ‘Me’

Kritika said- He was not father-in-law, he was father and friend.
Kritika further told that she was shy to say “I love you dad”, but you did not stop until I said it easily. This was his way of expressing his love. He was not just my father-in-law, but my father, friend and my safe place. The moments and long conversations spent with him are fond of his memory now, and the silence of the house without him feels very heavy.

Will remember you as the best dada
