Mumbai: On the 74th birth anniversary of late actor Vinod Mehra on Wednesday, his son and actor Rohan Vinod Mehra penned a heartfelt post for him. He says his love for storytelling comes from his father.

"Happy Birthday to this great man, wish you could be here today... I love this photograph, clearly my love for storytelling comes from you," Rohan wrote on Instagram along with a throwback photograph of Vinod with veteran actress Rekha from one of their film`s sets.

Rohan, who made his debut in Bollywood with Saif Ali Khan starrer "Baazaar" in 2018, earlier told IANS: "I have never seen my father. He died when my mother was pregnant. I have just heard about him. It is difficult to say that I miss his presence but I think how it would have been if he would be around me."
