Adnan Siddiqui gets emotional by dedicating a heartfelt Instagram post to eldest daughter

'Never thought this would occur to me so soon, that one she’ll be gone and I’ll miss her,' the actor wrote

Actor Adnan Siddiqui is touching hearts with his latest Instagram post, which is dedicated to his eldest daughter Maryam.

The A Mighty Heart star shared a picture at Karachi International Airport recently, saying goodbye to his daughter as she jets off on her first solo trip to Turkey.

"It’s very rare that my children become a reason of my sadness. But today- all day I’ve spent missing my elder daughter Maryam Jaan even before she set off for her first solo trip," wrote the Pakistani star, who made his Bollywood debut with 2017 film Mom.

"Never thought this would occur to me so soon, that one she’ll be gone and I’ll miss her. Maybe I’ll be sitting like this and penning my emotions, maybe I’ll be looking at her childhood album. I’m reminded of the day she was born and I held her for the first time, I didn’t even know how to hold a baby," he revealed. "Then her first day of school and today she’s embarking on another first, going for her first solo trip to Turkey."

Siddiqui continued to share his emotions over his daughter and how much he will miss her. "Dear Maryam Jaan, may you make many memories and have an amazing trip. May you come back with more adventures and knowledge. I guess it’s officially time to let you start doing things by yourself and I cannot help but think of the day when you’ll be married."

"Until then, let’s have more father-daughter adventures, more discussions on books and poetry, more long walks and more hugs!
As I was writing this, I saw this note that has instructions about Coco’s (her per dog) routine. Alright then, I’m off to feed Coco, whom I lovingly call, ‘pugly."

The 49-year old was last in the spotlight when he shared an Instagram post of his Mom co-star and late Bollywood actor Sridevi on her death anniversary. However, the image was met with a whole lot of criticism as tense India-Pakistan relations were sky-high.

Consequently, Siddiqui took the picture down. He then went on to issue an apology. “My last post was a memory post, remembering a co-star at a very personal level. But I do realise that it shouldn’t have been on a public forum. It, in no way meant that I don’t support my country.”
