The legend wrote, “I was born from your womb, that`s why I was formed. It was your blessing. That`s why I kept progressing. You are steadfast. That`s why we all remained steadfast. Happy Birthday, Mom!”
तुझ्या पोटी जन्माला आलो, म्हणून मी घडलो
तुझा आशीर्वाद होता
म्हणून मी प्रगती करत राहिलो
तू खंबीर आहेस
म्हणूनच आम्ही सगळे खंबीर राहिलो
वाढदिवसाच्या शुभेच्छा आई! pic.twitter.com/StD9cc9ROC— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) August 29, 2025
