Actors Manasi Joshi and Rohit Roy celebrated their only child Kiara's 17th birthday at a week-long holiday in the Maldives.

 

'And we are off!! Birthday celebrations begin! Birthday girl taking the picture'.

 

From Mumbai airport Rohit posted a picture of his feet and writes: 'Got no wheels on my heels, but I'm still hoppin the globe!'

 

'Heaven on Earth.. #maldives !! Second time in 3 years but still feels as gooooood!!'

 

'Beyond the edge of the world there's a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard. Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore'.

'Today as we watched the sunset on the last day of our Maldivian holiday ... It felt like we were on the #edgeoftheworld'.

 

'Snorkelling done!! Time to chill in the pool!! What a world down there! If u haven't snorkelled, you are missing a totally magical world!'

 

'Espresso martini anyone?? chillin at pool with the fam!'

 

'Off for my morning run! It's just an awesome feeling ro run on water..'

 

'This was the most amazing experience we could have asked for!! A private picnic on a deserted island with no one and nothing within miles! And a surprise to boot!'

 

'We are a family of discerning foodies and we left wanting more :-)'

 

'There can't be a better view!! Brilliant!!'

 

'I got your back baby!' Rohit writes.

 

'Vitamin D deficiency has been successfully defeated!'

 

Holiday 'gym' mode on!!

 

'One of the common mistakes we all make is we completely stop workouts on vacays.. dont! Don't miss the gym for more than 3 days!!'

 

'Pristine beauty all around.. I could settle down here!!'

 

And just like that she's 17 Happy Birthday my raison d'etre

 

'Happy birthday my dear child. May God bless you with everything your heart desires and more.. wish you good health, prosperity, peace and happiness, now and forever! Happy 17!! (Still can't believe u r 17) Love, Baba'.

 

'Last day in paradise... much awesomeness!!'

 

'We left our footprints on the sands of time...'

'On this tiny sandbank in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

There was a picnic laid out for us as we swam & snorkelled.'

'Felt like the Swiss Family Robinson on a deserted island'.
