"To a man who dedicated himself to India yet cherished his family, to a man who lived a truly exemplary life, to a man who persevered & forged his destiny, to the man who made me who I am... Happy #FathersDay, @arunjaitley. I miss you very much, dad - and will always love you! (sic)," Sonali wrote in a tweet.
