Dulquer Salmaan wrote: “Of late I’ve realised that the best of friends never have any photos together. Cause their moments together are too precious and fun to even think of wasting time posing or taking selfies. Increasingly so, each year it’s become tradition for us to take pictures for me to post on your birthday Pa. Somehow neither of our phones seem to ever have any pictures of just the both of us. But now Im beginning to understand and love why that is. Wishing my bestie, my hero, my father the happiest birthday !!”
