When there were no event managers… When we would go shopping a week before the birthdays… When we went crazy with Khoi bag back presents dance competitions fancy dress prizes. The birthday gift was a big one."

"Now I bless you each day …When you leave so much goodness behind where ever you go. When you are our strength. When you understand without saying. When you encourage everyone around you all of this fills my heart with so much joy n pride !!! Happiness always RK," she included.

Alongside it, she posted throwback pictures in which a young Ranbir is seen celebrating his birthday.
