Expanding Responsibilities and Deep Trust
Warikoo noted that Dayanand's role has expanded far beyond driving duties. Over more than a decade, he has become an integral pillar of daily household management. "He drives our children to classes. Holds duplicate house keys. Handles all important errands that don't need us. Treats us as his own. He calls everyone in the family 'tum' and not 'aap.' He is someone I trust blindly with the safety of my family and I," Warikoo stated. Praising his discipline, Warikoo added, "He continues to live frugally, with unwavering punctuality and discipline. Wakes up at 4:30 am, sleeps by 8:30 pm, is never late, and always carries a smile." ‘Never Been Told a More Offensive Statement’: Ashneer Grover’s Reaction on Being Compared to Ankur Warikoo Goes Viral.
