Earlier this week, the veteran actress remembered her late father on the occasion of Father's Day.

"Today we celebrate Father's Day. I recall my Dad who was selfless in his love for his children, me in particular as I was the only daughter. He would take such care of me, fulfill my every little need and was always there for me, hovering protectively over me. I truly miss him," she had tweeted.
