Bollywood Stars Shower Katrina Kaif with Love on Her 42nd Birthday
MUMBAI– Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif turned 42 on Wednesday, and the internet is buzzing with sweet wishes from her fellow celebs!
Priyanka Chopra kicked things off with a glam photo of Kat on Instagram Stories, calling her “gorgeous” and adding, “Here’s to more love, light and magic in your year ahead @katrinakaif.” Iconic and classy as ever!
Kareena Kapoor Khan, another queen of the big screen, dropped a throwback snap with the birthday girl, writing, “Happy birthday forever superstar. May all your dreams come true… sending you tons of love… @katrinakaif.” These two were once fierce rivals — now it’s all love!
Rakul Preet Singh joined the party too, sending Katrina “good energy, good people, and all the moments that truly matter.”
But it was Katrina’s husband, Vicky Kaushal, who stole hearts with an adorable birthday tribute. He posted a string of candid shots — from goofy hallway poses to sunset snuggles on the beach. In one pic, Kat stuns in a makeup-free look, glowing in a white shirt by the sea.
“Hello Birthday Girl! I LOVE U,” Vicky gushed in the caption. Couple goals, anyone?
On the work front, Katrina was last seen lighting up the screen in Merry Christmas opposite Vijay Sethupathi.
Neha Dhupia Cheers ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ for Smashing the Patriarchy
MUMBAI– Actress Neha Dhupia is all praises for Netflix’s latest release Aap Jaisa Koi, thanking the team for “smashing the patriarchy one dialogue, one scene at a time.”
Taking to Instagram Stories, Dhupia wrote, “I loved @aapjaisakoi… thank you for smashing the patriarchy… congratulations #VivekSoni @karanjohar @apoorvaa1972 and the incredible cast — @actormaddy @fatimasanashaikh @ayeshiraza @namitdas #ManishChaudhari… so well done!”
Karan Johar, who co-produced the film, reposted her message with a sweet “Neha” and a string of red heart emojis.
Directed by Vivek Soni, Aap Jaisa Koi stars R. Madhavan as Shrirenu Tripathi, a quiet Sanskrit professor, and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Madhu, a bold French teacher, in a refreshingly unconventional love story.
But it’s not just romance — the film digs deep into gender roles and power dynamics, especially through an older couple played by Manish Chaudhari and Ayesha Raza. One scene shows the husband proudly claiming he “allowed” his wife to work — only to be met with a mic-drop comeback: “Who are you to allow me?”
The bold drama premiered on Netflix on July 11 and is already stirring conversation — and applause — for its take on empowerment and love.

Reflecting on the shoot, the Animal star gushed, “I remember feeling like I was in a little film inside the film… every frame felt like a moment frozen in time. Let me know if it makes your heart feel a little full.”
The track, featuring Rashmika and co-star Deekshith Shetty, is packed with swoon-worthy chemistry and smooth dance moves. Hui Re is out now in five languages — Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam — making sure no one misses the vibe.
Composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab with visuals by Krishnan Vasant, the song is already gaining buzz for its emotional pull and stunning cinematography.
Earlier, fans were frustrated over the lack of updates and trended #ReleaseTheGirlfriend online. Addressing the wave, Rashmika jumped in to calm the storm: “@23_rahul is really working on it to give you the best… it’s a film where we speak about things we generally don’t talk much about.

MUMBAI– Vicky Kaushal just melted hearts on the internet with a sweet birthday tribute to his wife, Katrina Kaif, who turned 42 on Wednesday.
The Chhaava actor posted a series of candid photos that show the Tiger Zinda Hai star at her most relaxed and radiant. From a goofy hallway shot to a warm hug, a sunset moment, and a stunning beach pic with no makeup and a white shirt – Katrina looked effortlessly gorgeous in every frame.
Vicky kept the caption short and swoon-worthy: “Hello Birthday Girl! I LOVE U.”
But the real romance started long before the beach selfies. Back in 2019, Katrina famously said on Koffee With Karan that she’d love to be cast opposite Vicky. Later, when host Karan Johar broke the news to Vicky on the show, he pretended to faint on the spot.
Their playful flirtation continued at an award show where Vicky joked, “Why don’t you find a nice boy like Vicky Kaushal and marry him?” Katrina, blushing, said she didn’t have the guts to marry someone like him. Fast forward to December 9, 2021 — the two tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony and have been serving couple goals ever since.
Birthday wishes, goofy pics, and a love story straight out of Bollywood — Vicky and Katrina are still very much the internet’s favorite lovebirds.

Speaking to a packed audience of students in Bandra, the former Miss Universe delivered a powerful message about self-worth, acceptance, and owning your identity. “People will call you beautiful all the time — and it’s not about looks.
