No loss bigger than losing one’s own father: Disha Parmar on her dad’s demise

In an unfortunate turn of events, actor Disha Parmar’s father, who was terminally ill, passed away in Delhi recently. Though she suffered this great loss, she didn’t let her responsibilities suffer. Disha resumed shooting of her TV show Woh… Apna Sa after four days of her father’s demise.

The Pyaar Ka Dard Hai actor, says, “There’s probably no loss bigger than losing one’s own father. But, my family and I seek comfort in knowing that he’s in a better place today, feeling no pain. He meant the world to me and it is his principles that I live by when I resume shooting barely four days after he’s left us. He always taught us to place one’s responsibilities above everything else. He imbibed the importance of fulfilling one’s duties before tending to one’s emotions or problems. And it’s true, it is helping me cope with his loss better!”

The entire cast and crew of the show rallied around Disha to ensure that she was least inconvenienced in her hour of distress. Her co-star Ssudeep Sahir says, “Our prayers are with Disha’s father. Hope his soul rests in peace. It is Disha’s thorough professionalism and maturity as an artiste that has brought her back to the sets so soon after such a monumental loss. Anyone else in her place would have taken their time before resuming shoot. But Disha, aware of how difficult it would be for the production team to carry on without her, has placed the show above her loss. Kudos to her for that! We have always known Disha for her impeccable work ethic and with this gesture, she’s proven yet again why we love her so much!”
