Shirish Kunder and Farah Khan with children

Shirish Kunder’s razor-sharp wit that is reflected in his tweets and his columns, is known to all. We love the man for his guts and the way he phrases words to come up with something absolutely delightful, without mincing anything. Kunder is married to choreographer-director Farah Khan, and the two have three beautiful kids together, two daughters and a son. And recently, the director-columnist had a proud ‘Dangal’ moment with his daughters, which he went on to share on Twitter.

Shirish’s daughters, Diva and Anya, went on to win a gold and a silver at a Judo tournament, and the father could not be prouder. He immediately took to Twitter and announced the same, drawing references from ‘Dangal’ and quoting the famous dialogue, “Mhaari chhoriyaan choron se kum hain ke?” (Also Read: Love for meat vs love for man!

Aww, isn’t that super sweet! Dads are the best, we tell you. They are the ones who will shout out your achievements from the rooftops.

As we all know, ‘Dangal’ was a movie based on the struggle of a father from Haryana, who wanted to mould his daughters into Olympic champions in the sport of wrestling, that too when they hailed from a state where girls doing anything at par with boys is frowned upon. The movie was a biopic based on Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita, and went on to smash box office records and win laurels as Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra brought the characters to life on screen. Hence, Shirish’s analogy with the movie definitely makes sense. Shirish, you are one cool dad.
