Ties that transcend family ties
People close to the family often talk about the special bond between Bajiraj and Kirti. He reportedly treated her more like his daughter than just his daughter-in-law, an affection that has been evident in numerous public appearances over the years. Bhagyaraj also handled Shanthanu and Keerthi’s relationship with warmth and dignity, personally announcing their wedding to prevent unnecessary rumours. His openness and kindness earned him a lot of respect back then, so Keerthi’s latest Instagram post holds even more weight, reflecting the love and respect she still has for him.
