Raj Kundra captioned the post as, 'A different Birthday post this year ... Not about celebrations or moments. But about what you truly mean and stand for in my life. Strength when life gets difficult. Grace when emotions overflow. Faith when everything feels uncertain. And light even in the darkest phases. You have always carried the energy of a Devi nurturing, protecting, forgiving and fiercely strong all at once Happy Birthday my love. May Maa bless you with everything your heart deserves @theshilpashetty'.

Raj Kundra's post feels very heartfelt and genuine. It's refreshing to see a husband appreciate his wife's strength and grace beyond the glitz and glamour. Shilpa has been through a lot and she remains classy. Happy Birthday to the evergreen star! 🌸
It's lovely to see such a thoughtful birthday post. I haven't followed her recent work, but I remember her from 'Baazigar'. She's been a constant in Indian cinema for decades. This seems like a very personal and spiritual tribute.
Honestly, this is so poetic! 'Strength when life gets difficult, grace when emotions overflow' - beautiful lines. 🪷 It shows they have a deep spiritual connection. Shilpa ma'am is a true icon who balances career, family, and fitness so well. Many happy returns of the day!
Whatever people say about Raj and their past controversies, this post is undeniably from the heart. 🙏 It takes a lot to pen down such emotions publicly. Shilpa Shetty has always carried herself with dignity. Happy birthday to the 'Devi' of Bollywood!
