“The happiest Father in the entire Universe .. Abhishek you are the pride and honour of the family .. you fly the flag that Dada ji established , and have carried it through with valour and hard work .. consistency, never giving in , and an attitude of: ‘the more you pull me down, I’ll stand again with my hard work and will stand again and even taller.’

“It took you time, but you didn’t give up. You have shown the world on your own merit. You have been announced as the first artist in Melbourne. No gift can be bigger for a father than this,” the post began.

The actor also recalled how people earlier criticised him whenever he would talk about his son in the public.

“Some years ago, I had flown with surging ecstasy about a masterpiece film of yours and your performance .. They who command the informative wood-derived paperwork, had ridiculed me and my paternal flamboyance of selfish promotion .. and sniggered at my advertised pride…The sly and scornful laugh has been silenced by respect and admiration, applaud and admiration,” he said.

“Winning is the ultimate answer to many binding ropes and chains…The price of victory is high , but so are the rewards…You Abhishek just proved that…with all my love .. a very proud Father and family,” he concluded.
