You exist in each breath we take. I can hear you sing lullabies in your sweet voice every time I cannot sleep. The clinking sound of your bangles never leaves my ears, especially when I feel lonely.
Your nails painted in your favourite shade of pink still tickle my back all night when I need comforting."
"You raised us with so much love. You shall forever be the real HERO of our family as Dadu always said."
The post further read, "A few days before Dadu passed away in the January of 2005, when both Dadu and Dadi were 72 years old, I happened to enter their room early in the morning to borrow Dadu's gym socks.
What I observed made me tear up. Dadu and Dadi were fast asleep... but their hands were intertwined in each others. Their chests moved up and down slowly and there was a smile on their lips. Suddenly I realized that they both didn't look as young as they used to look a few years back and the thought of losing them scared the living daylights out of me.
I kept staring at them."
"In that moment it hit me that life is oh so temporary and unpredictable.
But love will stay forever. 1st July will always be bittersweet for my family. I hope I make you proud everyday, Dadi.-Your Raja #UrmilaAmrishPuri #Hero."
For the unversed, Amrish Puri passed away on December 27, 2004, following a brain haemorrhage. Renowned for his powerful portrayals of villains, he remains unforgettable for his iconic role as Mogambo in "Mr. India." His legacy also includes memorable performances in classics like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge," "Karan Arjun", "Koyla," and "Nayak" to name a few.

BTS' Jimin and V go shirtless in beautiful sunset swim clip from group's beach outing, watch them play fight
BTS' '95 liners are as close as they were many years ago. Between solo projects and military enlistments, Jimin and V have not let the separation get to them. But instead, it has been the distance that has made the heart grow fonder. In a new update on the former's Instagram on August 19, the two could be seen fooling around at a beach in Los Angeles. Dressed in just some shorts, the duo can be seen running into the depths of the river, giggling along the way as they ride the waves. Jimin and V tussle it out on LA beach In user j.m's latest Instagram update, the BTS member was seen having a fun day at the beach with his mate Kim Taehyung. Believed to be from their August 17 rest day, when the full group did a livestream after over one and a half months, the two seemed to be having the time of their lives. Waddling through waist-level water, hand-in-hand, the two singers could be seen grinning from ear to ear. As they raised their arms and tried not to fall, two people could be seen running across the water in the heavily busy LA waterside. Further, they kept poking fun at each other, trying to pull down each other's pants, and almost falling into laughter. With waves pulling them down, they splashed water on each other, bursting into smiles, peeking back at the other BTS members, probably staring at them in joy. The group is known to have then turned on a short 7-minute livestream to update the fans about their time overseas. Hair wet and torsos filled with sand, they played around, sticking to other members who ran away from them. In a funny moment from the clip, RM replied to the fan calling him their 'husband' and ensued another round of surprise and giggles. Currently working in the USA on their post-military comeback album, BTS is all set to release new music in spring 2026.
