Farida Jalal is a national treasure! Her role as the mother in DDLJ is iconic. 77 years young and what a career! We need to celebrate our veteran artists more. Respect from Delhi!
"Bhidu!" 😄 Only Jackie Shroff can wish like that. Love their friendship. But seriously, when is Aamir Khan's next film? We are waiting, Mr. Perfectionist! Lagaan anniversary is coming up too.
It's lovely to see this camaraderie. In Hollywood, you rarely see such public, personal birthday wishes between stars of their caliber. The collage for Farida Jalal was a beautiful touch.
While the wishes are nice, I sometimes feel these social media posts have become a bit routine for celebrities. A personal call or visit would mean more, no? Just saying. But still, good on Jackie dada for remembering.
Farida aunty in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai... "Tumhara college kaun sa hai?" 😍 Timeless! These actors are the pillars of Bollywood. Happy Birthday to both! More power to them.
