"Happy Father's Day to my daddy. I've always admired the way you loved, led, and protected our family. I always hoped Arjun would learn from you -- your strength, your patience, and the way you make fatherhood look like a blessing. A father's love is the foundation of a family, and yours has shaped who I am and what I seek in the people I love. Thank you for being the example every father should strive to be. Love u daddy," she wrote.

On the work front for Arjun Bijlani, the actor was recently crowned as the winner of the first season of the reality show, 'Fall & Rise'. (ANI)
