If there’s one place that actor Angad Bedi and wife, actor Neha Dhupia, want to visit to mark their daughter, Mehr’s first birthday, it is the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
“We would love to take her to the Golden Temple because we went there when Neha was expecting. And now that Mehr is turning one (on November 18), we would like to take our blessings from there,” says Angad about their plans for the little one’s special day this month.
Parenthood has been a transformative experience for Angad and Neha. “We are very grateful to the Almighty. I feel Mehr has brought in a lot of changes in me. She has made me understand things and there’s a lot of gratitude towards the universe and people, now. She has made me a better person and a better performer. Parenthood has made me realise the value of family and of my own parents,” says Angad, who never shies away from gushing over Mehr.
Mehr was born six months after Angad and Neha tied the knot in a hush-hush ceremony in May last year in Delhi. And since then, Angad has been on a career roll, balancing his work between films and OTT platforms. On the big screen, the actor is excited about doing a biopic, and in the web space, he has been lauded for his work in The Verdict - State vs Nanavati.
On the show’s success, he says, “The last time I think I was that brilliant was in
Inside Edge and Soorma. But this is something else. The way the audience has taken to this show is very heartening. I worked very hard on this show, and put in a lot of sweat and blood.”
I feel Mehr has brought in a lot of changes in me. She has made me understand things and there’s a lot of gratitude towards the universe and people, now.
