Talking about his daughter, Sara Arjun, Raj said, “In 2005, a soul came into my life. I had heard that daughters are a blessing, and I got to live that blessing, too. Soon after she was born, I bagged my life’s first lead role, the film got stuck, but that fire in the belly went on for her. If this soul hadn’t come into my life, I wouldn’t have been this person or this artist today.”

He added, “Year after year, she was growing up, while I was struggling, but she didn’t just hold my finger, she held my soul. I couldn’t break or run, so I stopped, and during that time, there was fear; there was not much in my pocket. Her shining eyes gave me the courage to stand strong, because she needed me. She took care of me like a Dhurandhar, and then I learned that the one who supports you in life might not necessarily be strong. Being a father is not easy; sometimes you have to be a dad, sometimes a friend, and sometimes a brother. Sometimes you have to be the wind beneath her wings. I did that too and stayed hopeful.”

‘She turned her destiny towards me…’

An emotional Raj recalled how he bagged a role in Aamir Khan’s Secret Superstar because of his daughter. He said, “One day, suddenly in 2016, I took her to Mukesh Chhabbra’s office. As usual, she went inside, and I waited outside. She held Mukesh’s hand and dragged him outside. She turned her destiny towards me, and I bagged a role in Secret Superstar. She kept being a daughter as well as a mother, she would explain to me sometimes, at times hold me, and sometimes brighten up my world.”

“Today, when that daughter is spreading her light in the world, being a Dhurandhar, she shares that spotlight with me too. Back then, I took care of her; now she looks after me. People say daughters hold their father’s hand and move forward, but I reached my destination holding my daughter’s hand, and I feel very proud about it. This brightness of my life is called Sara.”
