On actor-producer Anil Kapoor’s 61st birthday on Sunday, his daughter and actress Sonam Kapoor said that she considers herself lucky to have the Mubarakan star as her father.
Sonam tweeted a few photographs in which she can be seen sharing lighter moments with Anil.
“Happy birthday to the person who taught me to fight for what I believe in and to never stop chasing my dreams. Without you, I wouldn’t be half the woman I am today and for that, I love you endlessly,” Sonam wrote in a series of tweets.
