Popular actress Ankita Lokhande marked her late dad’s birth‑anniversary on Monday.
The star of Pavitra Rishta posted a touching video on Instagram that showed happy moments she shared with Shashikant Lokhande, her father who died in August at age 68.
In the clip, Ankita smiled as she showed old photos, then added a heartfelt caption: “To my Papa… up above the world so high, blessing us with his light and shine. On his birthday today, we pray for his peace and feel his love in every little thing around us. He may not be here with us, but he lives in our hearts, in our memories, and in everything we do.”
She also talked about how AI‑generated photos can bring a loved one back to life. “In this world of AI and moments coming to life through pictures, it still feels unreal but seeing him smile again, even in an edit, touches the soul,” she wrote.
Ankita shared that she misses her dad every day. “We miss him every day, our Papa, my papa. He will always be our strength, our reason, and our forever blessing,” she added, using a white heart emoji and the hashtag #happybirthday.
The background of the post featured the song “Papa Meri Jaan” from the film Animal.
After her dad passed away, Ankita opened up on social media. She praised him as a strong, energetic, and loving person: “I can’t describe you in words, but I want to say that I have never seen such a strong, energetic, and adorable person in my life. Everyone who came to see you praised you for the good‑morning messages you sent and how you kept relationships alive.”
The emotional tribute showed how much Ankita Lokhande values her dad’s memory and the love he left behind.
