Mumbai: Salman Khan’s close friend, actor-singer Iulia Vantur shared a heartfelt message for the former’s father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, on Father’s Day, describing him as a “pillar” in her life.
Accompanied by warm family moments, her emotional tribute highlighted the close bond she shares with Salman’s father.
Sharing a carousel of pictures with her own father and Salman’s dad, Iulia wrote: “Happy Father’s day! To My dad who raised me and to the one who watched me grow. Both pillars in my life. I love u. Today is also #musicday and #yogaday and i ve realised that they are all interconnected. Music, yoga/spirituality. The love fr music I’ve got from my dad and it continued to grow in India. The wisdom, the dept, the stillness of yoga I ve understood having the father figure in my life. Blessed and grateful. #fathersday #music #yoga.”
Among the memories featured in the carousel was a video of Iulia singing the iconic track ‘Teri Meri Prem Kahani’ from Salman’s hit film ‘Bodyguard’ during a visit to Vatican City, with the Pope visible in the background.
In her note, Iulia credited her father for nurturing her love for music from a young age and reflected on how that passion only deepened after she moved to India.
