Ram Pothineni owes his everything to his father Muralimohan Pothineni and his family. As Muralimohan turns 60, the 'iSmart Shankar' actor makes an emotional post, giving us a glimpse of what his dad means to him.

"The relationship between a father and son is quite funny..we feel awkward to say “I love you dad” straight to the face..and just to make up for it, we look for every other way to let them know how much we love them.. They say that children learn by example and I sure did.. I saw you have it all.. I saw you lose it all..I saw you fight em all.. and I saw you stand up tall.. Thanks for being you dad..for I am part of you n you are a part of me.. Happy 60th Birthday.. Love you Dad.. (there! I said it)," the charming actor writes.

Muralimohan is known to watch his son's movies only in the theatre on Day 1. He visits theatres to gauge the audience's response. In an interview, Ram once said that his father never criticizes his performance. Whatever it is, he only has high praises for him!
