Lovely gesture from Iqra! But I wish the media would focus more on Sanjay's acting work rather than just family posts. Still, happy to see him happy and healthy after everything he's been through.

So beautiful! Sanjay sir has always been a fighter - from his health battles to family commitments. He's showing such a loving father side now. And that quote "I will always stand by you" - pure gold! Proud of you papa! 😊

Interesting how Maanayata manages Iqra's account - shows how hands-on she is in the family. And Sanjay still missing his father Sunil Dutt ji after all these years - that's the kind of legacy Indian cinema families have. Respect! 🙏

Such a touching post! The relationship between Sanjay and his daughters seems really strong. It's nice to see Bollywood fathers being so openly affectionate with their kids now. Happy belated Father's Day to all dads! 🌸
