Veteran actress Shilpa Shirodkar has left fans emotional with a poignant tribute to her late father Nitin Shirodkar on his 19th death anniversary, shared via a touching Instagram post.
The nostalgic photo captured a tender moment from her childhood, with Shilpa blissfully seated on her father’s knee. In the caption, she unveiled layers of grief: ‘Dearest Papa, expressing my love and missing you is beyond words. It’s unimaginable—19 years without you. I regret those unchangeable dates: January 31, 2007, and July 18, 2008.’
Acknowledging her father’s spiritual presence, she confessed, ‘You remain my pillar and guide from heaven, yet the inner turmoil grows despite my efforts to convince myself otherwise. This loss is eternal, and my love for you boundless. If only you were here.’
Hailing from a family immersed in the performing arts, Shilpa debuted amid the glitz of ‘Bhrashtachar’ but became a household name through ‘Kishan Kanhaiya.’ Wedded to banker Aparesh Ranjit in 2000, she paused her career for family, making a compelling TV comeback in 2013 with ‘Ek Muthhi Aasman’ and beyond.
Her post serves as a stark reminder of life’s fragility and the unbreakable parent-child bond, striking a chord with audiences who admire her resilience amid personal tragedies.
