“Your entire life has been about serving others and helping them reach their true potential, touch nirvana, and go beyond the limits they’ve put on themselves,” Pinkie acknowledged. She concluded her heartfelt note by affirming that Hrithik’s happiness is paramount and eternal for her, irrespective of his age. “Happy Birthday and all my love,” she concluded.
