Shruti, 33, shared a photo from Kamal Haasan's birthday festivities along with this note: "Happy birthday, bapuji. Such a special birthday marking 60 years of your work in cinema. We get to go back to Paramakudi, we get to celebrate this life as well and most importantly we get to be a part of your very special life. Love you lots, pappa." Aww... how sweet is that?

Kamal Haasan's younger daughter Akshara Haasan, 28, also dedicated a heart-felt post to her superstar father: "Happiest birthday to such an amazing father, best friend.
