Athiya's father Suniel Shetty posted a heartfelt note for his daughter to wish the 'Mubarakan' actress. He wrote, "TIA .... where my LIFE begins and LOVE never ends .... happy birthday my baby ... I thank life everyday for giving me the gift of YOU."



On the occasion of Daughter's Day 2020, Suniel shared a video and penned his thoughts for his 'Tia'. "The honour of being a father to a DAUGHTER is one of the greatest experiences a man can have ... if only every daughter could see herself thru her fathers eyes," the 'Hera Pheri' star wrote.
