Sharing a photograph of the couple, he wrote, “Hats off to this woman who stayed with me for 60 years as my wife who built me up, my life and my career, or I would have been lost in oblivion. She took care of my family, my friends and my people with utmost care, inspite of my uneven life. Everyone loves me, mostly because of her sweet and positive nature.”
He added, “She is #MuktaRehana Ghai, and today is her happy birthday. We all feel blessed to have her as the leader of our family, filled with compassion and love for everyone. N pray for a long, healthy and beautiful life ahead.”
