Bollywood actress and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen penned a deeply emotional birthday wish for her father, Shubeer Sen, as he celebrated his special day on Friday. The actress took to Instagram to share a glimpse of a joyous midnight celebration, honouring the man she calls the "bestest father and grandpa in the universe."
A Midnight Celebration Filled With Love
In a heartwarming video posted on her social media handle, Sushmita Sen was seen celebrating with her two daughters, Renee Sen and Alisah Sen. The clip captured moments of laughter, cake-cutting, and the actress lovingly feeding cake to her father. Her heartfelt caption expressed immense gratitude and love.
"THANK YOU GOD!!! Here's to the kindest human being, the bestest Father & Grandpa in the UNIVERSE...Happyyyyy Birthday Baba," Sushmita wrote. She added wishes for his health and happiness, signing off with "I love you beyond #duggadugga" and the affectionate term "Titan." The post was a touching testament to their close-knit family bond.
The Pillar of Support: Shubeer Sen's Role
Shubeer Sen, a retired officer of the Indian Air Force, has always shared a famously strong and supportive relationship with his daughter. Sushmita has openly credited her father as her constant pillar of strength during every crucial juncture of her life and career.
His unwavering faith stood by her during two landmark events: her groundbreaking victory at the Miss Universe pageant in 1994, which made her the first Indian to win the title, and her bold, unprecedented decision to adopt her first daughter, Renee, as a single mother at the young age of 24. Shubeer Sen's support for his daughter's life choices has been a defining element of their relationship.
Family Milestones and Recent Work
The Sen family has recently marked another significant milestone. Sushmita Sen herself celebrated her 50th birthday on November 19. Her daughter Renee commemorated the occasion with a sweet social media post, calling her mother "Bestie turns 50" and sharing photos from their Durga Puja celebrations.
On the professional front, Sushmita Sen was last seen captivating audiences in the third season of her critically acclaimed Disney+ Hotstar series 'Aarya 3'. In the show, she portrays the fearless Aarya Sareen, a mother navigating a perilous criminal underworld to protect her children—a role that echoes her own real-life strength and dedication to family.
The birthday celebration for Shubeer Sen is yet another beautiful chapter in the story of a family that continues to inspire with its love, resilience, and mutual respect.
