Mumbai, Dec 14 (NationPress) Television actress Mahhi Vij expressed her gratitude by saying 'Thank you for choosing us' in a heartwarming birthday tribute to her mother on social media.

She also shared a delightful video featuring the mother-daughter duo dancing to the classic song 'Lag Ja Gale' from the iconic 1964 film 'Woh Kaun Thi?'.

Accompanying the Instagram post was a touching message where Mahhi referred to her mother as her quiet strength.

She wrote, 'Happy Birthday, Mom ❤️ You are the quiet strength behind every dream I dare to chase. While I step into the world, you hold my world in your arms—loving my daughter the way only a mother can, the way only you can.' (sic).

Mahhi conveyed her appreciation for her mother’s sacrifices, stating, 'You gave up so much without ever making it feel like a sacrifice, so my dreams could breathe and grow. Thank you for choosing us, again and again—because we would choose you in every lifetime, every birth, every universe.'

On the work front, Mahhi has made her return to television with Colors' new show, 'Seher Hone Ko Hai', which features Rishita Kothari as her on-screen daughter.

Discussing her relationship with Rishita off-screen, she remarked, 'I have become her mother off-screen too. I am always fussing over her, asking if she has eaten, if she needs anything, if she’s tired. I keep telling her she should tell her mom to disown her because I am ready to adopt her!' This reflects the special bond they have built.

‘She’s such a sweet, calm energy on set, and because this is her debut, I automatically feel protective of her, the way you do for your own child who’s stepping into a big new world. We have a lot of fun together, but we also learn from each other,’ Mahhi added.
