Actor Dulquer Salmaan took to his Instagram account at midnight to share a heartfelt birthday message for his daughter Maryam, who turned seven on May 6.

Calling Maryam his “piano-playing gymnast” and “the biggest potterhead,” Dulquer shared a series of photos of his daughter, one of which shows the birthday girl engrossed in playing a pink piano. Another showcases her exuberance as she somersaults joyfully, while yet another image depicts her beaming in front of a Harry Potter-themed cake.

Accompanying the endearing pictures was Dulquer Salmaan's heartfelt message. “Wishing my piano playing gymnast and the biggest potterhead I know, the happiest birthday !!! Happy 7th birthday my baby doll ! Hope you have the most magical birthday filled with all your favourite things and tons of adventure,” the Sita Ramam actor wrote.

Apart from birthday wishes for his daughter, Dulquer also penned a heartfelt note for his mother, who celebrated her birthday on Saturday. “My dearest Umma, I was looking at photos to post for your birthday, and I found this image. You in this saree reminded me of my childhood and pictures we have, when I was younger than Maryam. And just like that, I felt like a child again. I know that’s how you still see me. In fact all of us. No matter how old we are, in your eyes and heart, your children and grandchildren are all the same age. You baby us all equally. We love you mostestttt ma and wish you the happiest happiest birthday !!! ,” he wrote.

On the work front, Dulquer was last seen in the Netflix series Guns and Gulaabs directed by Raj and DK. His last big screen outing was in the Malayalam film King of Kotha last year. He is currently shooting for Venky Atluri’s Lucky Baskhar
