Respect for Tusshar for acknowledging his dad's legacy. Jeetendra's filmography is incredible - Farz, Caravan, Himmatwala... these were the movies of our childhood. Modern actors should learn this kind of humility and family bonding.

Honestly, while it's a nice post, it feels a bit like a PR move. If you really miss your father's birthday, maybe try to adjust your schedule? Our elders won't be around forever. Just my two cents.

The Kapoor family is such an integral part of Bollywood history. From Jeetendra's jumping jack days to Tusshar's Golmaal franchise, it's amazing to see the generations. Love the throwback with the classic Rafi song!
