Actress Shahnaz Khushi paid tribute to Lionel Messi on his birthday on Wednesday, sharing an emotional social media post in which she expressed admiration for the football star’s love and respect for his mother.
In a post published on her Facebook account, Khushi said she had collected and preserved photographs of Messi over many years. While recently revisiting those images, she noticed that she had saved some photographs of the same moments more than once.
However, it was a photograph of one of Messi’s tattoos that affected her most. The image showed a tattoo of his mother’s face on his back, a detail that left the actress deeply moved.
Describing herself as “a village mother” in the post, Khushi wrote that stories about the bond between mothers and their children have always touched her. She said that seeing one of the world’s most successful people carry an image of his mother on his body was a unique expression of selfless love and respect.
The actress, who is the mother of two children, added that while many people contribute to a person’s growth and success, the blessings of a birth mother remain the most important. She also reflected on the universal truth that every person in the world is born from a mother’s womb.
Concluding her message, Khushi paid tribute to the Argentine football icon, writing: “Salute, my hero Lionel Messi.”
The actress’s heartfelt post, shared to mark Messi’s birthday, has already attracted the attention of fans across social media.
