In the picture, a young Sanjay Dutt held Trishala in his arms and had his eyes on her while she had her eyes fixed on the camera.

Even though you live so far away, we know that our bond has just been growing stronger. Happy Birthday, my little girl, @trishaladutt!"

Trishala's birthday arrives shortly after she marked her mother Richa Sharma's birth anniversary. Last week, Trishala shared a candid picture of Richa and wrote, "Happy birthday mommy". Richa died in 1996.

Last month, Trishala also celebrated her father's birthday in the United States by arranging for an air banner with a birthday message written for him. Unlike Sanjay, Trishala has opted for a career outside of Bollywood. She is a practising psychotherapist in the US. She often shares posts in an attempt to spread awareness about mental health issues.
