On the occasion of International Father’s Day, actor Randeep Hooda shared a heartfelt message acknowledging the vital role his father, Dr. Ranbir Hooda, has played in shaping both his personal and professional life. Known for his range and depth in cinema, Randeep offered an emotional reflection on the bond he shares with his father.
Randeep Hooda pays tribute to his father on Father’s Day: “He is my hero, my guiding light”
Calling him his ‘hero’ and ‘guiding light’, Randeep credited his father for being a constant source of support and realism throughout his journey—from struggling student to actor to filmmaker. “There was a time when I wasn’t doing so well with my education in Melbourne and the idea to become an actor sprung up. My father had already said if you’re going to be soiling your life in Australia with education might as well return. And that’s when the acting career conversation first happened. He tried to stop me a lot initially, which any parent who isn’t from this industry would do. But once he started seeing my passion for it, he truly became my backbone in my support system. He advised me to learn the skills required for the job instead of being dependent on others,” Randeep shared.
He further opened up about how his father stepped in during one of the most difficult phases of his life – while recovering from a serious accident and trying to complete his directorial debut on Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. Randeep noted how his father’s support was crucial not just emotionally, but also financially. “There was a time I was facing severe health issues due to an accident and he stood by me as I was recovering to not only essay Savarkar on screen but also was gearing up to direct the film and produce it. We reached a roadblock of a financial crunch and that’s when my father stepped in and took the brave call of selling my property in Mumbai to finish what I had started and truly paved the way for me. For him to give such strong sacrifices gave me all the strength I needed.”
Randeep concluded his tribute by stating, “My father is my hero, my guiding light. Whatever I am today as an actor, as a person, and now as a filmmaker, it’s because he never stopped believing in me.” His tribute stands as a reminder of the quiet but impactful presence many fathers have in shaping their children’s paths.
