Paying respects to his grandfather on the day, the `Guru` actor shared a picture of him writing, "Happy Birthday Dadaji,""It would have been my grandfathers` 113th birthday today. I work and pray that I am able to honour and live up to your legacy. Miss you dearly," he added.
 

Veteran actor Suniel Shetty and Bobby Deol too paid their respects in the comment section.
