Pressure is but a catalyst for Bhupen’s brilliance, igniting a fire within him that fuels his insatiable appetite for success

All these years, they have been an understated source of motivation behind the curtains. Yet when the Lalwanis alighted from their car at the Rangsharda auditorium on Friday afternoon for son Bhupen’s felicitation ceremony, there was simply no running away from the spotlight. A swarm of journalists tailed them as they navigated their way through.
Later, the smile of pleasure never left their faces each time there was a mention of Bhupen during the press conference organised by ASK Foundation24. “I can say that I am here because of my parents, because not just Dad, even Mom, waking up every day…preparing food so that I don`t eat outside food and get ill…so that I get nutritious food every day…Uh, so supporting me from home has always been special. And you know, sometimes if Dad is scolding me, Mom is always the one who protects me. (smiles) And, uh, but dad, whatever I say, of course, he says for my own good, but, uh, mom`s support has always been special (sic),” Bhupen told Mid-Day, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
