Grew up watching her in Charlie's Angels and 50 First Dates. Feels like just yesterday! Time flies. Wishing her a very happy birthday in advance. She seems genuinely happy and that's what matters most.

Respectfully, while it's nice she's positive, this feels like a very privileged perspective. For most women in India and elsewhere, turning 50+ brings worries about job security, health costs, and family responsibilities, not just a celebratory Instagram post. The article could have balanced this out.

Her journey from a child star in E.T. to a successful talk show host is incredible! It's not easy to have a lasting career in Hollywood, especially after starting so young. She's an inspiration.

"So ready for 51!" – I love this energy! We need more of this, especially for our aunties and mothers who sometimes feel invisible after a certain age. Every year is a blessing and an achievement. 🎂
