My father touched everyone’s hearts through his work and even through his Instagram Reels, which had become his new hobby… He always wanted people to be happy and believed that God has given all of us so much in life. He often said that we all have a special talent hidden within us, and if we believe in it we can achieve anything.”
Life lessons learned from father
Bobby further said, “He worked in this industry for so many years, he saw both good and bad times but never gave up… Wherever I go and whoever I meet, I get a lot of love because my father made a place in people’s hearts for us – for me, for my brother and for our family. People love him so much that he gave us a place in his heart without any hesitation. And today, standing here, I feel like I can go home and meet him.” I will say, ‘Papa, you could not come, so I have brought your award with me’.
