Speaking about the video Vidya says, “This is a very special video because it encapsulates the strength of my bond with my father. But there is a larger message too — of the value of the girl child. That discrimination between girls and boys has to stop.”
In the video, Vidya’s father speaks of the delight of being a father to two girls (Vidya and elder sister, Priya) and reveals that he was brought up by a single mother. The father-daughter duo also shared anecdotes from their lives.
