Actress Shilpa Shetty, who lost her father Surendra Dejoo Shetty on Tuesday, wrote an emotional poem about her late father.
Surendra Shetty passed away due to a heart attack at Mumbai's Kokilaben Hospital.
On Wednesday evening, the Bollywood star posted on Instagram a picture of her “loving and kind” Daddy along with a very emotional poem that commemorates his memories and legacy in the family.
The poem titled "Our Hero" read:
Loving and kind in all his ways,
Upright and just to the end of his days,
Sincere and true, in his heart and mind,
Beautiful memories, he left behind.
A link in our family chain is broken,
He has gone from our home,
But not from our hearts.
At the end, the actress wrote, “We love you Daddy, you have been the best father , husband, friend and soul...May you Rest in Peace.”
Surendra Shetty is now survived by wife Sunanda and daughters Shilpa and Shamita Shetty. Both Shilpa and sister Shamita were very close to their dad, Surendra.
The funeral of Surendra Dejoo Shetty, who last breathed on October 11, was held in Mumbai yesterday.
Several Bollywood celebrities and friends of the Shettys including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan , Arpita Khan, Vashu Bhagnani and Raveena Tandon were present at the funeral ceremony to pay their last respects to the departed soul.
