Sunday, June 20, marked International Father’s Day, a day reserved to specially honor one’s father or father figure.
While we believe that one day will never be enough to express our love for our fathers and father figures, we also think that having that one special day where we can go the extra mile for them is extremely important. It’s the least we can do!
Naturally, social media has been flooded with honorary messages and tributes to fathers across the globe – everyone seems to have pulled out all stops this year for their dads, and we love to see it!
Much the same way, our celebs also turned to social media to pen down loving messages for their fathers, with some receiving them from their own kids.
Anoushey Ashraf took to Instagram to share a picture of herself with her father among mountains, writing, “Happy Father’s Day to this legend!!! Traveler. Reader. Sports enthusiast. Fashion ‘icon’. Comedian. The life of the party.”
Hira Mani, wife to comedian Mani, also turned to Instagram to share a special video with the caption, “Happy fathers day to you!!! Baap bohat piyari naimat hai uska bhe dil hai usko bhe samjho (Fathers are a great blessing. Understand them, they also have a heart).”
The singer turned actor Junaid Khan shared pictures of himself with his kids, and one of himself with his father, saying, “Having a father like mine has always been one of my biggest strengths. So much to learn from him and when I apply that exact same learning as a father I realize how blessed I am to have him.”
Singer Ali Sethi, son of journalist Najam Sethi, penned a sweet message for his dad. “Happy Father’s Day to @sethi.najam — who apparently saw my long fingers when I was born and declared (happily) that I would be an artist. Thank you for being a kindhearted radical, our simultaneous safe space and instigator.”
Actor Imran Abbas shared a collage of his picture next to his dad’s, highlighting the two’s striking similarities. “Papa! You’ve left a void in my heart that can’t be filled till we meet again. Happy Father’s Day,” he wrote.
Renowned singer Ali Zafar shared a collage of pictures with his father and his own son Azaan Zafar. “Never be distracted by what who says. Everything will fizzle out. Only the art will remain. Just keep doing your work.” One of my first lessons by a great father, professor of art and design. Muhammad ZafarUllah. Passed on the same to my son Azaan Zafar.”
