What Amrish Puri's Grandson Saw When He Entered The Room To Borrow His Socks, "Dadu And Dadi Were Fast Asleep And..."
Mumbai: Amrish Puri's grandson, Vardhaan Puri, recently recalled anecdotes from just days before the veteran actor's death. Taking to Instagram, Vardhaan shared a few throwback photos featuring his grandparents, Amrish and Urmila. In the black and white images, the 'Mr. India' actor could be seen posing alongside his wife. In the caption, Vardhaan Puri shared an emotional memory from just days before the veteran actor's death in January 2005. He recalled walking into his grandparents' room early one morning to borrow a pair of gym socks from his grandfather. Vardhaan found his grandparents peacefully asleep, their hands gently intertwined. As he watched their synchronized breathing and the calm smiles on their faces, he was struck by how much they had aged. He revealed that in that quiet, intimate moment, a sudden fear of losing them overwhelmed him. In the post, the Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story actor also expressed his love for his late grandmother. Vardhaan wrote, 'I love you, Dadi. 8 years since you are gone, but there's not a single moment that we as a family have not felt your presence in spirit. You exist in each breath we take. I can hear you sing lullabies in your sweet voice every time I cannot sleep. The clinking sound of your bangles never leaves my ears, especially when I feel lonely. Your nails painted in your favourite shade of pink still tickle my back all night when I need comforting.' 'You raised us with so much love. You shall forever be the real HERO of our family as Dadu always said.' The post further read, 'A few days before Dadu passed away in the January of 2005, when both Dadu and Dadi were 72 years old, I happened to enter their room early in the morning to borrow Dadu's gym socks. What I observed made me tear up. Dadu and Dadi were fast asleep… but their hands were intertwined in each others. Their chests moved up and down slowly and there was a smile on their lips. Suddenly I realized that they both didn't look as young as they used to look a few years back and the thought of losing them scared the living daylights out of me. I kept staring at them.' 'In that moment it hit me that life is oh so temporary and unpredictable. But love will stay forever. 1st July will always be bittersweet for my family. I hope I make you proud everyday, Dadi.-Your Raja #UrmilaAmrishPuri #Hero.'

Vardhaan Puri dons his mother's diamonds: Jewelry shouldn't be reserved just for women
Actor Vardhaan Puri turned heads at the Times Food and Nightlife Awards 2025 , not just for his sleek suit but for the glimmering diamond necklace he wore—an heirloom piece borrowed from his mother's treasured collection. In a sea of conventional red carpet looks, Vardhaan's ensemble stood out as a celebration of heritage, individuality, and fearless fashion. Speaking about his bold choice, the actor shared, 'I firmly believe that jewelry shouldn't be reserved just for women. Men should also celebrate jewellery, especially diamonds. Personally, I love borrowing diamonds from my mother's collection, pairing them with a suit, and owning the look.' His confident presence and ease in diamond accessories reflected a deeper belief in challenging gender norms through style. 'For me, jewelry is a powerful form of self-expression,' the actor last seen in Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story added. 'It allows me to tap into my individuality without worrying about societal norms. It's also a way to connect with the strong women in my family, feeling their presence and love with each piece I wear. Let's break free from conventions and have fun with fashion—unapologetically and unconditionally.' Vardhaan's striking appearance is part of a larger shift in men's fashion, where diamond jewelry is no longer considered off-limits. From red carpets to global fashion runways, more male celebrities are embracing luxury accessories—be it brooches, earrings, or neckpieces—as tools of creative expression. By wearing diamonds with pride, the Yeh Saali Aashiqui actor joins a growing tribe of men who are not just rewriting style rules but are also redefining masculinity in the most glamorous way.
