Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli took to his instagram and shared a very emotional message for his late father on the occassion of Fathers Day on Sunday. Kohli revealed how one lesson from his dad helped him to shape his entire life and find success.
Kohli also mentioned that his father always taught him that the only path to success is hard work, and not the other way around..”He taught me to never rely on shortcuts or influence because if you truly have it in you, hard work will show it. And if you don’t have the will to work for it, then maybe you don’t deserve it yet,” Virat Kohli said on Instagram.
“When I was offered an easier path once, he refused it for me. With calm conviction, he said, ‘If you’re good enough, you’ll find your way. And if not, it’s better to know that early.’ That one moment shaped how I live, work, and show up in the world. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers whose quiet strength becomes our lifelong compass,” Kohli concluded.
