Along with the video, the Pavitra Rishta fame actress had written: “Happy Father’s Day to my first hero my daddy. I can’t express my true feelings for you but I love you bahut sara … I have seen you struggling for many things when I was a child but you made sure that your child doesn’t … you always gave me my wings to fly and made me do whatever I wanted to … I’m what I’m due to your support and strength.”
