In her caption, she wrote, "#Farooque Shaikh, My college mate, co-founder of Hindi Natya Manch at St Xaviers, thank you for seeing me through so many exams, filling my pens with ink so I don’t run out during writing, ever present when I was unwell but teasing me endlessly and never saying a kind word 22 years of travelling the world with me and #Feroz Abbas Khan for the timeless #Tumhari Amrita for 22years. Remembering you on your birthday."

This heartfelt remembrance highlights the enduring bond between the two actors, showcasing how personal connections often transcend professional collaborations in the entertainment industry.
