Occasionally, the pain surfaces. He always used to shine, and even now, he shines. This shine never fades. He stayed strong so that we, his children, felt the need to stand tall. To stand tall not just for ourselves but for the responsibilities that come with being his children. Today, although he is not physically present, his love for us is evident, and it burns brightly on this stage," Riteish said.
