The actress added, “To the beautiful children and resilient elders who made this day unforgettable…thank you for the warmth in your eyes, the strength in your smiles, and the joy you so freely gave me. Being with you was a gentle reminder of how much happiness lives in the simplest things… in just being present, in just being there for one another. I prayed for each of you for your health, your dreams, your hearts and for love to keep finding you, always.. My heart feels full. Grateful beyond words.”

The ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ actress posted a series of snapshots from her birthday celebration alongside underprivileged children and senior citizens. In the photos, she’s smiling for selfies, helping to slice the birthday cake, and sharing moments of laughter with kids.
