They have never differentiated between my brother and me and have taken care of all our needs. From my teenage drama to my real-life struggles, they have seen it all! But still have held my hand, and they continue to do so. On the other hand, my father would go to any extent to see a smile on my face - be it getting my favourite toy, pretty dresses and sweets. Today I want to take out some time and thank my parents for their unconditional love. You are real heroes of my life, mom and dad!"

I feel proud to be your daughter," says Shubhangi.
