what does Father's Day signify? Sameer Dharmadhikari, who plays Siddharth Tyagi in Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, believes, "For me, spending time with my daughter Saraswati is the most important thing. I play house with her and, she takes care of me in many ways. So, everyday is Father's Day for me." What are the true qualities of a good father? "More than the children changing, you as a parent have to change. It is just about leading them on the right path and keeping all options open for them. I do my best to guide my daughter in the best manner possible," he says.

To get a true taste of parenting, one has to experience it to believe it. "When I come home from work, nothing refreshes me more than playing with my daughter, or going out with her for a walk. A child's innocence and joy can take the tension of work away," says Sameer. Did his dad give him any advice that he remembers fondly? "I remember my father telling me one important thing, 'Jab tum baap ban jaoge, tab tum samjhoge,'" he laughs.

Food should take care of your health and also satisfy your taste buds, feels Dharmadhikari

While celebrities usually have a nutritionist-made-and-secretary-checked diet regime to be shared in public, Actor, Sameer Dharmadhikari, had no qualms about sharing his love for gulab jamuns with creamy curds and jalebis with buttermilk.

While like any health conscious person, Dharmadhikari makes sure that he takes a lot of fluids during summers, but he also takes care that taste is not compromised, as eating is all about satisfying oneself and not punishing.

"I prefer varan-bhaat during summers, which is filling and non-spicy. Though I love to have mutton, during summers I eat a lot of fish and green vegetables," says the actor, who loves to eat spinach and fenugreek.

He believes that keeping oneself hydrated can solve all heat related problems. "Though nariyal paani is highly recommended, I am more of a nimbu paani guy. The best however is to keep sipping normal water throughout, which I regularly do. Nimbu paani, not only helps me to restore salt and glucose loss of the body but also keeps the body cool and its tangy taste has a refreshing effect," he says.

However, simple food does not necessarily end with a bland dessert, as he finds it difficult to say no to Indian sweets. He feels that Indian sweets are not as bad as projected as they also have some nutrients like calcium and proteins in them. He also recommends fruits, as one of the ways of beating the heat and remaining healthy.

"Summers for me is all about lot of water, watermelon and simple home food," says Dharmadhikari, adding, "I am more into Indian food, so I prefer hot piping jalebis with cool chaas to ice creams, which I have occasionally, when I go out with my daughter. I love to combine gulab jamun, rosogulla or kala jamun with curd. For the calories, I burn it out in the gym," he signs off.

Romance, food and sailing: Sameer's ultimate combination

Sameer Dharmadhikari, better known as Raveena's husband in Satta , hails from Pune and is an engineer by qualification. His face has launched many products and apart from modelling Sameer loves doing theatre. He believes in working out everyday.

For Sameer the body is an engine and food its fuel. The best fuel for him is home - cooked food.

No eating after 8

I love eating typical Maharashtrian food. Therefore, for breakfast I can have upma or kanda poha cooked in very little oil. My family usually include pulses like matki in food. Sometimes I have corn flakes. When I am shooting if the breakfast I call for a sandwich and have 4 or 5 bananas. Lunch at home is dal , 4 to 5 rotis (polis what we call in Marathi) and some subji .

After I am back home in the evening, dinner is always early at around 7 or 7.30. It is usually a simple fare consisting of dal, subji and roti or else I just have some apples and milk. If I am late, I skip my dinner because I don't eat anything after 8.00; I just have a glass milk

Sweet tooth

I love kala jamun with curd. It sounds weird but believe me they taste awesome! I like the Maharashtrian sweets like the besan ka laddo , annarse . I enjoy all Diwali sweets as they a mother's trademark.

Love cooking

I love cooking and it all depends on my mood. The day I am in the kitchen I don't let my wife or my mother come in the kitchen. I am very particular while cooking. I can cook dal , rice and any type of chicken. I keep experimenting with chicken and I can cook lovely chicken with lots of onions in it. After I am done I ask my wife to make the rotis because I am not at all good with the shape.

No pastas and pizzas

If my wife is around we usually don't go out to eat. Other wise I just call my friends and land up at their place to eat. I love Indian food. I do not relish pastas and pizzas. Even when I am shooting abroad, I try and make my own food. I get some chicken salami from the store and have it with bread and cheese. I am happy if I find dal , rice abroad, or I have cheeseburgers with lots of vegetables from McDonald. I like to eat out at a restaurant called Chakra or Ruchi , which is opposite Film City in Mumbai.

Fitness

I like to remain healthy and fit, so I regularly go to the gym. Its good food and exercise that helps you stay fit and healthy. One day I do the cardio and next day weight loss exercises. I am a sports person and I love playing volleyball, tennis and golf. I work out to be both, mentally and physically fit. Steroids are not my choice. Once in 15 days I like to have a good massage.

By the sea

I would love to take my wife on a dinner date on a lovely sea. Sailing somewhere in mid - sea under the full moon, some soothing music in the background and tasty roasted fish to eat.

Another one related to his MOTOR BIKE

This is old-July 16-2008

If a man riding a 1956 Ariel Colt 200 motorbike on the streets of Mumbai looks familiar to you, then you might just have spotted Samir Dharmadhikari. The actor has acted in Satta, Raincoat and Agnipankh.While Salman Khan [Images] and John Abraham's [Images] passion for bikes is well-known, little do we know about the effort with which Samir maintains his ageing auty.

"This bike belonged to my wife's grandfather. After marriage, I managed to coax and cajole my in-laws to pass it on to me. This is the only dowry that I managed to get!" he says jokingly.

Not only does Samir ensure that the bike is spic and span, but he also uses it for joyrides. "It is a fantastic feeling riding this bike," says a dreamy-eyed Samir.

The actor, originally from Pune, started his career as a model. Innumerable print and television ads later, he shifted to Bollywood where he managed to bag significant roles in big films. Now the man is back in news with his latest success story -- Main Teri Parchhaiyan Hoon -- a serial on NDTV Imagine. In just a few months, the serial seems to have managed good TRP ratings.

"This is my first Hindi serial. Earlier I have acted in a couple of Marathi shows on television," explains the actor who thought of moving to television because of "the lack of good films in the industry".

However, he clarifies that he is still very much in the industry. "Currently I am working on two big-ticket productions -- Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya and Nishikant Kamath's Mumbai Meri Jaan." He plays the role of a king in the first while the second will see him working with Soha Ali Khan [Images].

Samir seems to be enjoying his work in television. "This is not a saas bahu serial! Though it may sound strange, no one in my family watch these soaps. They are more into regional shows," says the actor when asked about the reasons behind the success of Main Teri Parchhaiyan Hoon. Taking a dig at the saas bahu soaps he says, "Neither is my wife the kind you see on these serials, nor is my mother-in-law similar to the snake-shaped-bindi-wearing saas you encounter in these serials! And, thankfully my mother and wife do not conspire against each other."

So what about Main Teri he likes the most? "The storyline is different. It is about a father who has to bring up three children after their mother passes away suddenly. And then, a teacher steps in to their house and helps bring up the children. I have a five-year old daughter myself and know how difficult it is to bring up children. All these put together, I am quite enjoying the serial," says Samir who feels bringing up girls is much easier than boys. "A girl is much more understanding, but boys are brats and bullies!" says the doting father.

Samir's wife is also working in the television industry as a cinematographer. "Aparna has worked a lot with Balaji Telefilms [Get Quote] and is an experienced and well-known cinematographer. She is currently doing a lot of work with Pogo (children's television channel). Both of us being from the same industry has definitely helped us understand each other far better. I am a complete family man once I am out of the studio," concludes Samir.

Did you know that Sameer asked for dowry?

You have heard stories about people asking for new cars, bikes, houses and a whole lot of white goods in dowry, but have you ever come across a situation where the would-be son-in-law asked for a 52-year old motorbike as a gift during marriage?

That is precisely what happened during Sameer Dharmadhikari's wedding! The actor who is in the limelight with Main Teri Parchhaiyan Hoon, wanted to take home his wife as much as he wanted to take back her grandfather's 1956 Ariel Colt 200. "I could not take my eyes off the beauty. It was maintained in spic and span condition and belonged to my wife's grandfather. It is the only dowry I took from my in-laws!" says the actor who takes the bike for joyrides in Mumbai.

So the next time you see Sameer, don't be surprised if you see him riding a vintage bike.

Ulka to marry her rakhi bro in Jhansi'

an extract from TC article 15.12.09:

Her bridegroom - King Gangadhar of Jhansi played by actor Samir Dharmadhikari is quite a hit with her class mates and the girls apparently ask her to marry him in real life. Countering their suggestion, the child wonder says, "It's impossible because Sameerji is already married in real life and also for the fact that along with everyone I have tied him a rakhi this Rakshabandhan. Yes, my class mates keep teasing me with his name and say that if I don't wish to marry him, they will willingly and happily do it. But its not just Sameer ji, my classmates are crazy about Nana Bhau currently played by Shaheer Shaikh and even for the original Nana Bhau, Satyajit Dubey."
