TV actor Raja Chaudhary met his daughter Palak after 13 years. Palak lives with her mother, and Raja's ex-wife, actor Shweta Tiwari. "What to say," he wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday, sharing a selfie of the two of them together. Soon after meeting her, he also posted a picture on his Facebook account with the caption 'Moment of my life'.

"I was meeting her after 13 long years! When I last saw her she was a baby and now she is a grown up girl" said an emotional Raja, who was married to actress Shweta Tiwari for seven years. He added, "Palak and I were in touch with each other through Whatsapp messages. Every day I used to message her Good Morning. But we hadn't met at all. I was staying in Meerut with my parents. But had some work in Mumbai, so I called Palak who was rehearsing for her film. She took time out and we met at a hotel in Andheri in Mumbai for around one and a half hours. There were no grudges between us nor did we discuss our past. There were only pyaar bhari talks between us. I told her about my side of the family -- her dada-dadi, chacha-chachi, etc. She was excited to know about them and told me that she will soon come to visit us all. It is a new phase for both of us. I am still that ever caring and loving father for her."

Raja says he is all up to make the most of the second chance that life has given him. "Life has given me a second chance to mend things between me and my daughter and I am trying to make the most of it. My love for Palak has not changed at all over these years, even though I wasn't allowed to meet her all these years. But now she is a grown up girl and can take her own decisions. I wish I would have met her all these years, but it is okay. I really missed all the things a father would want to enjoy with his daughter- her growing up, her school, her likes and dislikes, etc. But when I met her today, I realized my daughter Palak has turned out to be a beautiful girl, it's all thanks to my ex-wife Shweta Tiwari. I am really happy now," he said.

Palak recently signed her first film, Rosie: The Saffron Chapter, co-produced by Vivek Oberoi. The film, directed by Vishal Mishra, is said to be inspired by true events and is the first of a horror-thriller franchise.
