My Dear Mukesh Sir💕 Sometimes, with a father, life gently places another guiding presence in your path. Someone whose belief does not replace your own roots, but quietly strengthens them. For me, that presence is you. You believed in me before the world noticed, and that silent faith changed everything. Every time Dhurandhar’s casting is praised, I feel immense pride because your instinct, your vision and your heart shaped that magic. You see what others often miss. You do not just give opportunities. You give people room to become. Your passion inspires me deeply. The hunger you carry to outdo yourself every single day is something I truly look up to. There are moments when work fades into the background, and what remains is presence. That calm strength. That unspoken assurance that makes my heart feel steady and safe."
"You have shown me that true power is never noisy, and real belief does not need declarations. It simply stands there. Thank you for seeing Yalina in me. Thank you for holding my spirit steady in moments I never had to name. From the McDonald’s ad to Dhurandhar, this journey feels nothing short of a blessing. Main ise ittefak nahi, rehnuma maanti hoon ki baap ka saaya bhi ho, aur saath hi aisa haath bhi jo thaamna jaanta ho🧿❤️ I am proud of you, and I will always honour the belief you placed in me. With gratitude and lots of love," she further wrote.
