Renowned filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt added Pooja's essence of her journey through life. The long note reads, "Note from my father- Pooja, I tread softly through the dimly lit corridors of Ganatra Maternity Hospital, the sunlight casting a surreal glow. As I approach the glass door, my eyes fix on you, nestled in a crib beside another infant. At that moment, I'm struck by your chubby cheeks, flushed with anger – a tiny rebel protesting your abrupt departure from the realm of divinity into this harsh reality. Since then, you've journeyed through life, stumbling, rising and ultimately finding your footing in a way only you could."

Resemblance to Raha Kapoor, he mentioned, "Each season of your life has sculpted you into the person you are today, yet the river of existence flows endlessly. I often find myself marvelling at your resemblance to our darling Raha- both brimming with innocence & an insatiable thirst for life. Happy birthday, my dear child. As you navigate the depths of life's ocean, it will both enchant and bewilder you. Your task is to seek your truth relentlessly, yet never fully grasp it. For the day you do, you cease to truly live. I'm grateful you continue to search, for in that pursuit lies the essence of being alive. With all my love, Papa."
