Kailash Kher
My [late] mother and father are my Santa Clauses. They taught me the art of giving. I feel their presence in the appreciation and love that I get for my deeds. Even though they are not physically present, I feel their guidance in my instinct and conscience.
Shamita Shetty
It's definitely my sister [Shilpa Shetty Kundra]. No matter how busy she is, she is always there for me. Every year, I make a list, and let her know what I want. Come Christmas, whether I've been naughty or nice, I have always been rewarded. She is my friend, mentor and my super sexy Santa too.
Yo Yo Honey Singh
My father, Sardaar Sarabjit Singh, is my Santa Claus. He's the most hard-working person I've seen. [Being a mechanical engineer] he would travel for months on work, so that he could provide my younger sister and me with the best.
Shekhar Ravjiani
Every child that makes me smile, and every listener who expresses his/her love for my music, is my Santa. I celebrate Christmas every day. With my current bearded look, I think I am also starting to resemble Santa.
Saiyami Kher
The Santa in my life is Gulzar saab. He is full of life. Every time I meet him, he gifts me a wonderful book. He brings a smile to my face. I wish the world had more people like him.
Sonakshi Sinha
My dad [Shatrughan Sinha] has been my Santa Claus. He would travel for work often, and whenever he returned, he was never empty-handed. Dad would always bring back a doll, or the latest toy, or a souvenir.
Swara Bhaskar
My parents have been my Santas, always getting me gifts when I least expect to receive any. And now, Sonam Kapoor and my Nil Battey Sannata director, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, play that role. Both are constantly spoiling me.
