She captioned the image: "Every year on this day Sid and I would look for ways to surprise you... but we never managed to do so! You always knew everything... So I hope wherever you are, you know that you are with us every day.”
She went on to add, “In everything I do, I think about your encouragement... In every choice I make, I ask for your affirmation... In everything that happens to me, I am grateful for your blessings."
Priyanka Chopra concluded: "Happy Birthday Dad. I wish you were here every day! We love you... P.S. - the background song was one of the father's favourites... One he always used to sing for mom."
