So, with all the chaos, the star is looking forward to slowing down and celebrating her dad this Father’s Day.
“My father is such an incredible man. He is such a comforter,” Carol says.
“Whenever I am feeling sad, or misunderstood – he seems to always have the words to calm me, soothe me and counsel him. I love his passion for life and his determination in life. I wish I could wake up every morning like him and run 5kms which he does this every morning. He also enjoys 10km walks and hikes. He is a very active man and his love for a healthy lifestyle is admirable. He is also the coolest grandad ever.”
Daniel Baron
“He taught me that if you have a dream, then you must work hard and make it happen. I love you, Dad. Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for showing me how to be the perfect dad to my son. Oh and thank you for teaching me about every single genre and era of music known to humankind.”
Kriya Gangiah
Presenter, businesswoman and media personality Kriya Gangiah has a strong relationship with her father who has taught her the values she needed to make a success of herself.
“My dad was definitely a strict parent growing up, but I think without him, I would not have my drive, discipline and thirst for life,” Kriya explains. “He has always been unbelievably supportive of everything that I do and walked every road with me. Including late night and early morning radio when I was too young to drive myself. 3am meant a hot chocolate pick up on the way home after the show.”
