It was late actor Amrish Puri's 89th birth anniversary on Tuesday, and he has received a special wish from his grandson Vardhan Puri. For the unversed, Vardhan made his Bollywood debut as an actor with 'Yeh Saali Aashiqui' in 2019. Remembering the legendary actor, Vardhan in his Instagram Story posted a cute picture of him kissing Amrish Puri's caricature of the latter's infamous character Mogambo from the movie 'Mr India'.

"Happy birthday, Dadu. We miss you," he captioned the post. Born on June 22, 1932, Amrish Puri is fondly remembered for his villainous roles -- especially Mogambo in 'Mr India'.
