Here are a few messages:

Sachin Tendulkar: "We have some things that act as time machines for us. A song, a smell, a sound, a flavour. For me, it's something from my father's childhood that always takes me on a trip down memory lane. On #FathersDay I want to share that special place [father's cradle turned into a swing] with you all. Miss you always, Baba.#fathersday #Father #memories."

Saina Nehwal: "Behind every great daughter is a truly amazing father…Wish u all a very happy Father's Day...@harvirnehwal."

Virat Kohli: "Happy father's day to all the fathers all across the world. Of all the wonderful things that God has blessed me with, being a father is by far the greatest joy and blessing. As I miss my old man this day, I also celebrate our memories together."

Shikhar Dhawan: "Happy #FathersDay Papa. I can always see how proud you are of me when I'm playing music for you and it's a great feeling as a son to make your father proud."

Hardik Pandya: "Papa, there's so much about fatherhood that I've learned from you. The love and guidance that you've shown us has helped us become who we are today. I promise to take everything that you've taught me on my journey of fatherhood with Agastya. We love you and we miss you ❤️ #FathersDay;

Sakshi Malik: "Happy father's day. #loveyoupapa."

Jwala Gutta: "Happy Father's Day, Dad!!!"
