Respect. Not many actors talk about their family with such genuine gratitude. His message for his mother, "no uniform, no badge, still runs with the whole system" is so true for every Indian mother. Jai ho!

Nice sentiment, but honestly, I wish he'd put this much thought into choosing better scripts. "Race 3" was a disaster. Hope "Kaptaan" is better and this isn't just promotional posturing.

The sibling bond is adorable! Calling Huma the 'Maharani' is so sweet. It's great to see a brother publicly appreciating his sister's strength. More families should celebrate each other like this.

Birthday posts are usually so generic. This one actually has meaning. Rooted in Indian family values. Also, including the pet in the "squad" is a mood. 😄 Happy Birthday to him!

The concept is good, but the execution of these "Kaptaan" posts feels a bit forced, like it's trying too hard to connect the show to his personal life. The message is pure, but the marketing is obvious.
