Anupam Kher penned a long birthday note describing Tanvi as autistic yet full of goodness, intelligence, honesty, humour, and "a brilliant singer," while crediting Tanvi for the idea that made the film possible.

Titled 'Happy Birthday to the real Tanvi', Anupam Kher wrote, "The seed of my film Tanvi The Great came from my niece Tanvi! She is one of my most favourite persons in the whole world! Being autistic, she has only goodness in her heart! She otherwise is Smart, very intelligent, funny, completely straightforward and a brilliant singer! Here is wishing her a long, healthy and happy life. Love you the most, Tanvi! You gave me the most amazing gift with the idea for the film."

The actor concluded the message with heartfelt love, gratitude and blessings for Tanvi's long, healthy and happy life.

"It made me the richest man on this planet! With Tanvi The Great, I understood the complete meaning of KINDNESS, GOODNESS, COMPASSION, and the POWER OF TRUTH! Thank you for these teachings! You have not only impacted my life but also of the 250 odd unit members and so many people who watched the film. God bless you, beta! Love and blessings always!" concluded Anupam Kher.
