IMPORTANT life lessons from star dads

Father's Day brought a lot of warm tributes, celebrations and greetings for the most significant figure in our lives.

Here, Bollywood stars let us in on precious life lessons their fathers shared with them!

Rahul Khanna

What I learnt from my father (Vinod Khanna) is that dogs are an important part of a fulfilling life.

Ustad Amjad Ali Khan

My father (Hindustani classical exponent Hafiz Ali Khan) taught me that with patience and tolerance, one could achieve one's goal in life.

Amit Kumar

In our time, there was no day set aside for mothers and fathers.

My father (legendary actor-singer Kishore Kumar) was from the village and never subscribed to these urban laws of living.

His advice to me for the 35 years that I was with him was to believe in simple and high living and to avoid hypocrisy at any cost.

Rakesh Roshan

My father (legendary music composer Roshan) taught me to practice honesty and passion in whatever I do.

Arya Babbar

I've learnt everything about life from my father (actor-politician Raj Babbar). But the one lesson I've learnt from him as a professional actor is the value of time.

From him, I've learnt that when a producer pays for an actor's time, he can do what he likes with it. And from that came my biggest lesson, patience.

Vivaan Shah

I've learnt many things from my father (Naseeruddin Shah) but most of all, I've learnt the importance of kindness and sensitivity towards people.

His discipline and dedication have taught me a lot.
