It's beautiful to see such genuine admiration across generations. Khushbu's words are so heartfelt. Happy birthday to a true icon of cinema!

While the love is deserved, calling someone "God's favourite child" feels a bit over the top, no? He's a great actor and a self-made man, but let's keep the praise human. Just my respectful two paise.

Harish Kalyan's comment hit home! That's exactly how it feels for all of us 90s kids. Baasha, Annamalai, Padayappa - more than movies, they are life lessons. Long live Thalaiva! ❤️

50 years in cinema and still the undisputed superstar. The camaraderie with Kamal Haasan is special. Wishing him good health and many more years of inspiring us.

The man is an institution, just as Khushbu said. His humility despite such fame is what makes him God's favourite, I guess. Happy Birthday Superstar!
