Soni Razdan opened up about the deep connection she shares with her eldest daughter, Shaheen Bhatt , revealing that Shaheen displayed a nurturing, motherly instinct from a very young age. The actress expressed this heartfelt sentiment in a touching birthday post on Instagram, offering fans a rare glimpse into the warmth of their family bond.



Heartfelt Instagram message



Soni expressed her deep affection for Shaheen by calling her a “uniquely special brilliant baby.” In a message overflowing with love, she wrote, “My darling Shaheen, my firstborn, my uniquely special brilliant baby… who became a mother to me almost from the age of two. Whose fierce love and single-minded insistence that only SHE could be the centre of my being made that a reality from the moment she angrily opened her eyes (yes, she was too comfortable where she was and didn’t want to be born at all)… And since we don’t really need words to communicate, you would know what I want to say to you.”

Birthday wishes for renewal



“You know that my love for you is too vast to be bound by a few words, but since this is a birthday wish, then to you, I wish the coming year brings resolutions and closure to what is meant to go — and new beginnings that will bring you freedom and lightness of being. Happy birthday, I love you,” she added.
