Why? Probably one of the most important questions to ask but many a times its skipped (especially by adults). We continue living our lives, we continue following the same traditions but how many of us actually ask 'why'. Today I am sharing a scene which is very very close to my heart because the message resonates with the current times a lot. "Paramparayein' or as we call it traditions have been running since ages across all religions, countries and faiths.  There were reasons why such traditions were started – some logical, some spiritual and most of the times practical.  But most of us just follow traditions blindly without knowing the true reason behind them and questioning whether they are relevant today. Take fasting for example, it was a tradition that existed when food was scarce, scientifically it helps cleanse the body and today we have all sorts of diets like intermittent fasting too that exist.  But how many actually know the reason behind the fast? Take our festivals which at one point used to be about gulaal, firecrackers, visarjan but today we all speak about 'eco-friendly'. Evolution is a must as times have changed, society has changed, there are a lot more people living on this planet and the repercussions we are seeing these days as we are locked up inside our homes.  It's important for us to continue our traditions, to teach them to generations to come but with it question, adapt, and evolve.  Balancing our roots and traditions with new times is a must and maybe this time spent at home in this lockdown gives us some moments to introspect, to think and to question and find our own answers…. . . #MahabharatDiaries @realswastik @starplus

Early Life and Career:

The father daughter bond between Robin and Andre never really developed as Andre barely had the chance to meet her. He was always on his road trips for wrestling matches and lived life on his own terms. Andre met Robin when she was 18 months old and initially didn’t believe that he has a daughter. The earliest memory Robin had of her father was in a Doctor’s clinic, where he was getting a paternity test. After it was proven that Robin indeed is Adam’s daughter they again met at the court for Robin’s lifetime support agreement.©ibollynews

Andre was one of the highest paid wrestlers in history, undefeated for nearly 15 years and gathered quite a lot of wealth during his entire career. He divided his wealth into three people in his last will. He left two–third of the money to his caretaker and wife of his Ellerbe, North Carolina Ranch, and rest of the earning and possessions were shared to his only living child, Robin.

Robin is paid royalties from WWE as they still evoke Andre’s name for some events. She has the right in the licensing of Andre the Giant’s name in any form such as video games or action figures. She was seen promoting Brandon M. Easton’s book “Andre the Giant: closer to heaven”. She earns most of her living by these promotions, licensing rights and also by her visits to comic cons.©ibollynews
