Shilpa Shetty pens b'day note for mother: Nothing makes me happier than seeing you smile
Mumbai, June 20
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has penned a warm birthday note for her mother, Sunanda Shetty, whom she described as her toughest critic, best friend, and soulmate.
Shilpa shared a handful of pictures featuring her alongside her mother Sunanda, husband Raj Kundra, sister Shamita and children. The gamut of photographs also featured pictures of her mother from her younger days.
The actress wrote in the caption section: "Happy Birthday, Mom. My biggest blessing, greatest strength, toughest critic, best friend, teacher, guide, soulmate... my everything. Words will never be enough to express how much you mean to me. Thank you for your endless love , blessings and unwavering support."
She added: "I pray you're blessed with great health, peace, happiness, and that all your dreams come true, because nothing makes me happier than seeing you smile.I love you always."
Talking about Shilpa's work, the 51-year-old actress was last seen in Sonal Joshi's film Sukhee. It stars Shilpa in the lead role with Amit Sadh, Dilnaz Irani, Kusha Kapila and Pavleen Gujral.
The film is about a 38-year-old Punjabi housewife, Sukhpreet "Sukhee" Kalra, who, sick of her routine existence, travels to Delhi to attend her high school reunion. Sukhee relives her teenage years while experiencing a variety of things over just seven days, emerging reignited and reborn, making the hardest shift of her life-from being a wife and mother to being a woman once more.
Shilpa will be seen in KD: The Devil directed by Prem. The film stars Dhruva Sarja in the titular role, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, V. Ravichandran, Ramesh Aravind, Reeshma Nanaiah, Jisshu Sengupta and Nora Fatehi.
In April, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) cleared director Prem's 'KD: The Devil', featuring Kannada star Dhruva Sarja in the lead, for release with an 'A' certificate.
Confirming the development, KVN Productions, the production house producing the film, on its X timeline on Wednesday said, "'A' CERTIFIED. Raw. Ruthless. Real #KDTheDevil 1 DAY TO GO."

Not a huge fan of her recent film choices, but this birthday post is genuinely touching. Shows that behind the glamour, she's a regular Indian daughter who values family. I appreciate the honesty in her words - calling your mother your "toughest critic" is something many of us can relate to. May their bond grow stronger.
Lovely to see Shilpa appreciating her mother publicly. In our culture, we often take mothers for granted while they sacrifice everything for us. This note is a beautiful reminder to cherish our parents. Also, her mom looks absolutely graceful in those younger photos! Timeless beauty 😊
While the post is sweet, I can't help but notice she didn't mention her father. Seems like a pattern with many Bollywood celebs - they only highlight one parent. Anyway, good sentiments. Shilpa's mentioned her mom in interviews before as her pillar of strength. Mothers indeed are irreplaceable. Happy birthday to Sunanda ji!
Such a pure post! ❤️ The way she describes her mother as "teacher, guide, soulmate" - that's the kind of relationship every daughter dreams of. Also love how she included her children in the photos - showing that family values are being passed down. Hope they had a wonderful celebration!
This is so heartwarming! As a Malayali, I know how much we value our mothers. Shilpa's words resonate deeply - "nothing makes me happier than seeing you smile" is the essence
