On the occasion of the 60th birthday of her father Colonel (retd) Ajay Kumar Sharma, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma shared a series of pictures of him on Instagram, including one which featured her baby daughter Vamika.

The picture, which is now widely being circulated on social media, shows Anushka's father holding baby Vamika in his arms. In a heartwarming note alongside the pictures, Anushka wrote, "Celebrating 60 glorious years of the most unique 1961 special edition - my papa. Growing up he taught us the power of honesty, compassion, acceptance and righteousness. And always stressed upon the peace of mind that follows by being honest and hassle free. Inspired me in so many more ways than he knows! Supported me like I will never be able to reciprocate. And loved me like only he can. Love you papa. Happy 60th Birthday to you."

Anushka Sharma is currently in Pune along with her daughter, to support husband Virat Kohli in India's ongoing ODI series against England. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Italy in December 2017 after dating for several years. Anushka and Virat welcomed their firstborn Vamika on January 11 this year.
