In a touching tribute shared on social media, the actress posted a nostalgic photo of her father in his navy uniform, highlighting the dedication that he exemplified throughout his service to the nation.
Nikita’s heartfelt message accompanied the image, wherein she expressed respect and gratitude towards the nation’s maritime guardians, stating, “SALUTING THE PROTECTORS OF OUR SEAs ON THE 53rd INDIAN NAVY DAY SHANO VARUNA.” Her tribute was also a personal reflection, as she affectionately referred to her father as her “IN HOUSE PROTECTOR OF THE SEA” and titled him “DADDYKINS,” conveying her immense pride in being the daughter of a Navy officer.
