As Vijay Deverakond and Mrunal Thakur’s film ‘Family Star’ opened theatres on April 5, the ace actor wrote an emotional tribute to his father, Deverakonda Govardhan Rao, calling him “my hero.” “My Star”.
On Instagram, he posted a video with a collection of photos from his youth with his father.
Along with the pictures, he wrote a message for his father. “My Family Star. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. From my first steps as a baby, till every step I take today, I know you’re standing behind me and watching over me. You struggled, so I never have to. You sacrificed your happiness so that I could be happy. You are my first best friend. You are my first hero. You are my strength,” wrote the actor.
He added, “If I ever hurt you or let you down, forgive me. Know that I love you. Making you proud will be my biggest success, and you will forever be My Family Star.”
The ‘Liger’ actor captioned the video with a heart-touching note. He wrote, “My hero. My Star. Life is full of highs and lows 🙂 and I do not know what it holds in store.But i work everyday to make you proud and happy. I love you my Superstar..We made #FamilyStar to celebrate the stars in our lives, sharing with you a little flashback of the man who i made this movie for. I dedicate this movie to every Man/Woman/Boy/Girl fighting for their family …Lots of love, Your man.Vijay.”
