“Today when I sit & attend congratulatory calls from so many people on the success of my new movie, there is one call I miss the most… a call from u both,” the post read.

Remembering his days of struggle Sonu Sood writes, “In the initial years when I was trying to learn the craft, I remember your motivational calls and those inspiring letters, which I still have with me. Time flew too fast. Success came, but for whom I worked so hard for so many years, couldn’t enjoy it. Sometimes I feel like I failed as a son.”

“Sometimes I wish, I could have made this happen faster. I am sorry mom and dad. I miss you every day when I succeed. I miss you every day when I fail. I will still work hard to make you proud. Stay happy wherever you are and I know you are making things happen for me the way they are happening for me now,” he concludes.

Meanwhile, the Sonu Sood starrer has witnessed a huge growth at the Box office and minted Rs 215 crores in three weeks.
