Film-maker and actor Farhan Akhtar added a lot of spark to his daughter Akira's birthday. He left her an adorable Instagram post on Saturday. Akira, Farhan Akhtar's younger daughter, turned 15. Celebrating the day, Farhan posted a throwback photo of the two. In the photo, a bare-chested Farhan with a salt-and-pepper beard and a man-bun hairdo, is sitting next to Akira. Her hair is dyed, and she's wearing a black t-shirt and round eyeglasses. The two are all smiles for the camera. The father wrote, “Happy 15th Akira Akhtar... you can tell me later what you think about the picture I posted.”
After teasing Akira with this line, Farhan left a heart-warming note for her, saying, "For now, let me say... I love you."
Several other Bollywood celebrities too wished Akira on her birthday. Farhan Akhtar's sister and director-producer Zoya Akhtar commented with red heart icons.
Shabana Azmi wrote, "Happy birthday lovely Akira" with a red heart icon.
Actors Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan and Ronit Bose Roy also reacted to the post.
