The doting dad took to Twitter to post a special message for his daughter along with a series of pictures. He tweeted, “Happy happy birthday to my little Cookie Monster. Your arrival has brought nothing but excitement, laughter and bliss to our lives. Here’s to more midnight dancing, rapping and showing you the world.”

In one of the pictures, Rohit along with his Ritika and family don a t-shirt that has 'Samaira’s first' written on it.
