Mumbai, Jan 28 (IANS) Popular television actor Arjun Bijlani decided to reply in a perfect Shah Rukh Khan style as his better half, Neha Swami, expressed her gratitude to him for being her constant pillar of support through various ups and downs of life.

Neha took to her official Instagram handle and published a few stills with the 'Naagin' actor.

Neha admitted that she is lucky to have someone like Arjun in her life, who became her strength during the most challenging phase of her life, the recent passing of her father.

She wrote on the photo-sharing app, "I am truly blessed to have you in my life. During the most difficult phase of my life, you became my strength. You stood by me, took care of me, and never left me alone. On days when I sat quietly with my pain, you made me laugh and reminded me to smile again. (sic)"
