What a cutie! Model Shanina Shaik shared a flashback image of her younger self on Sunday as she paid tribute to her dad Hanif for Father's Day

Touching: Alongside the throwback image, the 25-year-old wrote: 'Happy Father's Day. I love you xx'

In the portrait Shanina, who was aged of a toddler, displayed a cheeky smile as she sat on her father's lap.

She was dressed in a white long-sleeves dress and had accessorised with a matching coloured headband.

While holding onto his daughter, Hanif rocked a thick moustache and a black and white tribal patterned shirt.

Family life: In March Shanina opened up about what her father thought about her lingerie modelling career after she was raised in a Muslim household (pictured for Victoria's Secret in 2015)

'Happy Father's Day. I love you xx,' she penned next to the adorable photo.

Back in March Shanina opened up about what her father thought about her lingerie modelling career after she was raised in a Muslim household.

'I was born and raised Muslim and I lived a very normal lifestyle,' the beauty, whose father is of Pakistani and Saudi Arabian descent, told Emirates Woman magazine.

'My father is very open to my job and understanding and he is very grateful for the woman I have become.

'I’m a very sophisticated and respectful woman. I had a great upbringing and a great lifestyle with my sibling.'

Proud: She told the publication: 'My father is very open to my job and understanding and he is very grateful for the woman I have become'

The model and her younger brother Shah were raised by mother Kim in suburban Melbourne.

Shanina, who began modelling in her teenage years, finished as runner-up in 2008 on Australian reality television show Make Me A Supermodel.

And sporting an exotic mix of her father's Pakistani and Saudi Arabian roots with her mother's Lithuanian and Australian heritage, she subsequently scored a breakthrough when she walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2011.

Strutting the runway for the luxurious lingerie line since, Shanina's career seems to be going from strength-to-strength, with ambassador titles for brands like Just Jeans also under her belt.
