It was then that Arjun Sen shared a deeply personal memory talking about when he did when it was declared that he had only 100 days to live. He spoke about how for three days he lived in darkness and the only outlet he had to light was through the refrigerator. The real motivation seeped in when his 3-year-old daughter, Raka came into his room, cleaned the place and took him out. She then asked him three questions, 'What is dying? Are you dying? Will you dance at my wedding?' to which he gave a reflex response saying he won't die and will dance at her wedding. Seeing her eyes light up became his life's mission to be there for her.
This incident visibly moved Abhishek Bachchan who reflected on the profound bond fathers share with their daughters. 'This really touched my heart,' he said. 'Sweta Di is your daughter, so you understand this emotion. Aaradhya is my daughter, and Shoojit da has two daughters. We are all 'Girl Dads,' and we truly understand that emotion.' He continued, 'What resonated with me most was Arjun's promise to his daughter. Despite everything he was going through, he assured her he would fight to be there for her, to dance at her wedding. That unwavering commitment as a father is beyond words.'
The room was overcome with emotion as Amitabh Bachchan concluded, expressing his admiration for Arjun's resilience and the strength of a father's love.
