"Mere Pyaare Papa aur Hamare Pyaare Dharam,Aapki soch main yeh likh raha hoon.Duniya mein itna pyaar nahi jitna aapne hum sabhi ko diya. Har muskurahat, har tapakte aansoo mein saath nibhaya,
Har mushkil mein haath badhaya. Us tarah jis tarah sirf hum sab ke Dharam kar sakte the. Aap star banne toh sabko saath leke haath thaam ke aage badhe, Kisi ka haath nahi chhoda. Aapke humare Punjab ke Dango ka, Sahnewal ka, Bharat ka jhanda garv se lehraya. He-Man ho aap sab ke, Lekin bachpan se hi aap mere hero ho," Bobby posted on Instagram.
He continued, "Aap hi se humne sapne dekhna seekha, Aap hi se humne atmvishwas karna seekha,
Aapke sanskaar se hum Deol banne. Dil ho to aapke jaisa, Junoon ho to aapke jaisa, Pyaar karo to aapke jaisa, Insaan bano to aapke jaisa. Papa ho aap mere, Lekin Dharam ho aap hum sab ke.Proud to be yours.
Happy Birthday, my precious Papa. Love you forever and always.."
