Lara Dutta shares some precious moments with her late father ahead of his 1st death anniversary
Mumbai, May 30
Actress Lara Dutta used social media to share some precious memories with her late father ahead of his first death anniversary on Sunday.
She took to her official Instagram handle and uploaded a picture of herself posing with her dad, along with her daughter Saira.
The album further included another throwback picture of the former Miss Universe with her daddy dear as the two smiled at the camera.
We could also see some more photos of Lara's late father in the post captioned, "DAD............... EVERY. SINGLE. DAY....... FOREVER (sic)," followed by many red heart emojis.
On May 12, the 'No Entry' actress paid a heartfelt tribute to her late father on his 1st birth anniversary by performing a remembrance puja.
Additionally, she also planted a jacaranda tree in her father's house, marking his birthday.
Remembering him on his birthday, Lara even compiled an emotional note that went, "Happy 1st Heavenly Birthday to my amazing Father! He was with us for his birthday puja last year.....This year we missed and celebrated him with a remembrance puja and planted a jacaranda tree in his house. I'm sure he's raising a glass with loved ones in heaven. A Love that transcends all."
Lara's father, retired wing commander LK Dutta, passed away in Mumbai on May 31st last year at the age of 84.
Back then, she talked about her father's battle with illness via an emotional post. Lara penned, "My wonderful, brave, fighter of a father, went quietly into the good night on the 31st of May...... He fought long and hard against an illness that debilitated him over the last few months.... He bore pain with the stoicism of a battle worn soldier and displayed a courage and willingness to beat the odds, that sometimes defied all logic..... He rewrote any concept I had of the body breaking down or succumbing to an inevitable end...."

Retired Wing Commander LK Dutta – a true warrior indeed! The way he fought his illness with the stoicism of a soldier is inspiring. Lara's words about her father's courage are so moving. It's a reminder that our armed forces families have a special strength. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
It's so lovely to see celebrities share such personal moments. Lara's caption "DAD............... EVERY. SINGLE. DAY....... FOREVER" brought tears to my eyes. My own father passed away last year, and I understand this pain deeply. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏
While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish these tributes weren't so public sometimes. But I guess social media is how people cope and share love now. The tree-planting idea is really thoughtful though – much better than just posting photos. It's a living legacy.
Lost my dad two years ago. The pain never fully goes away, but memories like these keep them alive. Lara's post about her father's courage "rewriting any concept of the body breaking down" is powerful. Thanks for sharing such a vulnerable moment, Lara. Stay strong!
The photos are priceless! Seeing Lara with her dad and little Saira together is so heartwarming. It's beautiful how she's keeping his memory alive for her daughter too. The red heart emojis in her caption say it all – love that never fades. 🌺
