Popular TV actress Vaishnavi Dhanraj’s father left for his heavenly abode on Friday (March 12, 2021). He was 63. Dhanraj got emotional while penning her thoughts on her father on social media. She shared a long heartfelt post on Instagram and called her father a ‘hero and her inspiration’. The ‘CID’ actress revealed that her dad left his native village to earn money so that he could purchase books to study.


Vaishnavi added that her father held eight degrees and he was going to get another one at the age of 63. She posted a selfie with him while sharing the note on social media.


Dhanraj described her father as a ‘Village boy with big dreams’. She said that he was a born singer, who could play two musical instruments.


“Right from milking cattles to becoming a Vice President of an MNC. Holding 8 degrees and was going for one more at the age of 63. He knew the importance of education. At 14, he left his village to earn money so he could buy his books to study under the street light in silence when everyone was asleep. A hard worker and an intelligent visionary. He never gave up. A born singer, mastered two instruments. A writer, an avid reader, an orator. A doting husband, a loving father and a giving, pure soul,” the actress wrote.


She added, “A spiritual master. A yogi. A fighter. A man I call my Father, my Hero, my pillar, my inspiration. You are still here. I love you.  And always will.”
