Actress Genelia Writes About Late Father-In-Law Vilasrao Deshmukh “I see my dad…”

Genelia D’Souza paid a respect emotional to her late father-in-law Vilasrao Deshmukh on his 76th birth anniversary on Wednesday. Vilasrao Deshmukh, former Maharashtra Chief Minister, died of cancer in 2012. He was 67. In her caption, Genelia talked about how her father-in-law touched the lives of many people. “You are such a big deal Papa and I don’t even think you know it, I hear it every day from strangers who send me blessings because you have touched their lives in more ways than I can understand,” read an excerpt from her note.

She wrote: “Most often when a daughter-in-law comes into her in-laws house, she fears not being accepted as one of the family members. You made sure I believe that family doesn’t only mean being related by blood, it is a relationship which is so pure and so blessed and so wanted.”

Along with a picture which appears to be from Riteish and Genelia’s wedding, in which she can be seen hugging her father-in-law, she wrote: “This hug is not one of Just a Father-in-Law, it is one of a dad and more so because I see my dad in the background being secure that he has sent his daughter to the best family ever. Happy Birthday Papa. We miss you.”

Genelia added that she wishes to inherit Vilasrao Deshmukh’s traits and added in her note, “I want to be part of your inheritance Papa – of your patience, of your warmth, of unconditional love to one and all.”
