Bit like an alchemist: Aneet says of Mohit
"You’re a bit like an alchemist, catching things most people miss, quiet pain, love hidden in the eyes and turning it into something we can all feel. And somehow it doesn’t stay yours, it becomes ours (sic)," she wrote in the caption of her post.
The 23-year-old continued, "I have too much to thank you for. You’ve taught my heart the courage to feel out loud and to lead with it. You’ve shown me a really beautiful way to live (sic)."
She added, "You’re the most human human I know. You’re Mohit Suri. Happy birthday my momo, your purpose finds you every time you create. Thank you for doing what you do, thank you for being you. I love you. Forever and ever and ever (sic)."
