An emotional message from Anupam Kher
Alongside the post, Anupam Kher wrote, "Dearest Vanshika beta, wishing you a very happy birthday. May God give you every happiness in the world, good health, a beautiful life, and fulfil every dream of yours. You have always been like a daughter to me. Even when Satish was with us, I considered you my daughter and my friend. Some relationships aren't made of blood but of love, trust and belonging. Ours is one such relationship."
A promise to stand by her through every joy and hardship
Anupam Kher also made a heartfelt promise to Vanshika, assuring her that he will remain by her side through every high and low of her life. He wrote, "It isn't always easy to put love into words, but today I just want to say that I will always be with you. I will be there in every happiness and every difficulty, I will be your strength, and I will always stand up for you. Who knows, in the years to come when you get married, I might even get the good fortune of performing your kanyadaan. That day is still far away, but even the thought of it fills my heart with love and belonging."
Signing off by calling her his daughter
Towards the end of the post, Anupam Kher expressed his love for Vanshika, writing, "I love you very much. May this birthday of yours bring you loads of happiness. I am certain that your father and my dearest friend Satish is smiling down from above today, sending you all his love and blessings. Happy birthday, my dear daughter. May God always keep you happy and safe." The emotional post is a reminder that the bond between Anupam Kher and Vanshika goes beyond blood, and remains just as strong even after Satish Kaushik's passing.
