Achieving great things in life and realizing the ones who were with you through thick and thin aren't there anymore to witness your success is a an empty, painful feeling.

A man dedicates the most important and successful moments of his life only to his father. Because he knows that dad is a person who stays with us through thick and thin. Shami ji's father had trained here. If only he were there today, Shami's happiness would have been 4 times.
