Bhagyashri Borse gets candid about her humble beginnings
Recently, the Lenin actress made a starry appearance on the talk show, Honest Townhall. During the show, Bhagyashri got candid about her humble beginnings. The Mr. Bachchan actress mentioned that after she was born, she saw a different side of life. She mentioned that there was no stability in her family. Explaining her modest upbringing, Bhagyashri Borse said:
“I’ve seen a very different side of life the day I was born. My family, my parents, are from a lower middle-class background. I’ve never seen stability the way we see it these days. I’ve always seen things go wrong with them. I’ve always seen them fighting to do the right thing for their children and consistently not giving up. Because we come from zero. As a child, you don’t even know what money is. Growing up, you don’t know how important money is. All you care about is food, playing around outside, and chilling. You see your parents struggle and work really hard for you.”
Further in the conversation, Bhagyashri recalled a time when her father requested someone for work so that he could look after his family. The Lenin actress shared that from that day she made up her mind and made sure that her father’s head is held high always. In her words:
“I’ve seen my dad request someone, ‘Please give me a job. I have two daughters.’ As a small baby, you don’t want to see your father talk like that. In my head, the only thing was that this is not going to happen to my father ever again. I need to grow up and make sure his head is held this high always. It’s sad, but it’s been an inspiration to go forward in life. Whatever ambition there is inside, it’s for parents.”
