Chennai, Nov 6 (IANS): Actress Pooja Kumar, who has worked in Tamil films including the Kamal Haasan-starrer 'Vishwaroopam', has penned a wonderful tribute to her late mother.

Taking to Instagram, Pooja Kumar, who now stays in the United States, posted a childhood picture in which she is seen along with her mom.

The actress wrote: "Happy birthday Mom. It's been 20 years to this day since you left this world. Your smile and laughter has left a lasting impact on every person you have met. Thank you for letting me fly and allowing me to follow my dreams."

"Now that I have a daughter, I want to do the same for her. I will try my best as you have always taught me to do, but it's hard having a little girl!"

"Now I know and I'm sorry for all the heartache I must have caused you! Thinking of you each day and anytime I question what I'm doing I ask - what would mom do? Missing #mom."

Pooja Kumar, who was seen in both parts of 'Vishwaroopam', made her debut in Telugu with the Rajasekhar-starrer 'PSV Garuda Vega'.
