Love seeing this. My new year also started with my dad's hug. No matter how old we get, that feeling is unmatched. Shruti is so relatable here.

While the sentiment is sweet, I sometimes feel these very personal moments are over-shared for social media validation. The bond is real, but does every hug need an audience?

True legend and his talented daughter. Kamal sir buying her favourite snacks himself is such a dad thing to do! Wishing Shruti all the best for her learnings in 2026.

Appa hugs are the best! This made me smile. They both have such busy careers, but family always comes first. More such positive posts, please.
