'Watching you Graduate fills me with pride. Congratulations, my sweetheart. I started this journey alone, but I had you. I didn't know how it would all work out, but I just knew I wanted you to have the best education. I went back to work because of you,' Mahima wrote.
She added, 'I thought I was doing this all for you, but my baby, you ended up doing so much more for me. So many years later watching you finally graduate today, I've never felt more proud.

Fans flooded the comments section, appreciating Ariana's striking resemblance to her mother, Mahima.
'She is the most beautiful n cutest of all star kids so far,' one wrote, with another mentioning, 'So pretty... like her mother'. 'She looks just like you,' one posted.
Mahima married businessman Bobby Mukherji in 2006 and had Ariana with him. The couple got divorced in 2013. While Mahima was seen in a bunch of films in the early 2000s, she took a break from acting to raise her daughter. Talking to Pinkvilla about being a single mother, she said, 'Frankly, there isn't anything coming my way. That is much of it. I have been keeping myself busy with events, live events, promotions, and of course, you have a child to raise and it takes an entire village to raise one, and I am a single parent'.
She made her comeback last year after her cancer diagnosis and recovery with The Signature, which also features Anupam Kher.

It's been going on since 2018 #metoo Aaj fed up hokar maine police ko call kiya Please someone help me! Do something before it's too late.'

Dilip Joshi Dismisses Exit Rumours From TMKOC Recently, Dilip Joshi put an end to speculation about his exit from the show by attending a grand success bash hosted by Neela Film Productions. The event, held on Tuesday night, celebrated the show's milestone and featured several cast members, including Munmun Dutta, Amit Bhatt and Shyam Pathak. Joshi's presence alongside his wife, Jaymala Joshi and his willingness to pose for paparazzi effectively quashed the rumours. Show producer Asit Kumarr Modi had earlier clarified that Joshi's absence from some episodes was due to personal reasons, not a sign of him leaving the show. Later, Asit Modi issued a statement and clarified that Dilip Joshi and Munmun Dutta were still a part of his popular sitcom. 'As you know, social media these days has become so negative that you should try to keep a positive mindset. And Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is a completely positive show. It's a family show that spreads happiness. So some people should think positively about it. It's not right to spread rumours about small things or say anything inappropriate. That's not a good thing," he told Money Control. Speculation about Dilip Joshi's exit from TMKOC emerged after Jethalal and Babita Ji were missing from the 'Bhootni' plot, sparking concerns among fans about their future on the show.
