The Impressive Times15 JUNE: Coming from Shimla and raised in a family of farmers, Pratibha Ranta has had an humble upbringing, and in our Father’s Day special series, she says that her father Rajesh Ranta instilled that humility in her in every aspect of life. “My father has been the biggest inspiration in my life. I have seen him work very hard to earn a good living for us.
To give us a good lifestyle, my parents sacrificed a lot, including leaving us with our grandparents so that he could earn for us, and I feel so grateful for it,” the actor says. Pratibha Ranta, who got widespread acclaim after her work in Laapataa Ladies, also credits her father for inculcating the love for films in her.
“He loves watching movies and today, if I am in this industry, it’s all because of my papa. He used to bring CDs for us at home and that inspired me a lot to venture into this world,” she says, as her father adds: “I have seen her passion for performing since she was a child as she was so into dancing since she was two-year-old.”
Describing their bond, Rajesh says, “Our relationship is such that main uske bola bina hi uski mann ki baat samajh jata hun.” As she agrees to it, Pratibha says, “He has always pampered me. Main bachpan mein bahut zidd karti thi but he would make sure all my wishes were met.
