Bollywood’s heartthrob Shahid Kapoor is no stranger to fanfare, and the actor’s recent birthday celebrations have once again put him in the limelight. The film industry’s fraternity has come forward with an outpouring of affection and good wishes for Kapoor’s special day, but one greeting, in particular, has captured the public’s interest. The endearing message came from none other than the actress Rakul Preet Singh, who is relishing in the joys of being a newlywed.
Taking to social media, Rakul Preet Singh shared a candid snapshot—a previously unreleased moment from her sangeet ceremony, also marking her own nuptials with Jackky Bhagnani just days earlier. The image features a warm embrace between Singh and Kapoor, signifying the bond they share. The caption accompanying the photo extends cheerful birthday sentiments to Shahid, expressing, “Happpppy bdayyyy @shahidkapoor!! You are a gem of a person, and I wish you abundance in everything you desire… keep shining.”
The camaraderie on display is no coincidence, as Shahid Kapoor made a special trip to Goa to attend Singh’s wedding, which took place on February 21st. After years of speculations and a closely-guarded dating period, Rakul and Jackky finally embarked on their lifelong journey together with an ‘Anand Karaj’—a traditional Sikh marriage ceremony. The day proceeded with the Pheras in the evening, an attribute to Jackky’s Sindhi background.
Rakul Preet Singh and her groom donned exquisite outfits designed by the acclaimed Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani. The noticeability of their attire was not just in the style but the inherent story they told. Jackky Bhagnani shared heartfelt appreciation for Tahiliani on social media, acknowledging the designer’s role in translating their wedding dream into an awe-inspiring reality. “Tarun went above and beyond, not only designing my outfit but also creating stunning ensembles for my family, making each of us feel extraordinary,” Bhagnani elaborated.
In a similar vein, Rakul Preet Singh expressed gratitude towards Tahiliani and his team, for a fairytale wedding that was beautifully captured through the essence of their wedding outfits. This special day was not just a commemoration of their love but also a fashion statement celebrating Indian couture and tradition.
All the while, amidst the festive ambiance, Shahid Kapoor made headlines himself by being the guest of honor, marking a blend of Bollywood celebrations and personal milestones.
On the work front, Shahid Kapoor has been gathering accolades for his latest cinematic venture, ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’. The actor starred opposite Kriti Sanon in this romantic drama that intriguingly incorporates artificial intelligence into its narrative. The film critiques and toys with contemporary concepts of love and bonding, establishing Kapoor once again as a versatile force within the Indian film industry.
As festivities continue and well-wishes resonate across social platforms, Shahid Kapoor’s birthday has become a nexus of celebratory emotion. His influence on and off the screen is indisputable—much like Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani’s recent wedding has become a defining moment of jubilation for their personal lives and the illustrious world of Bollywood. For the stars and their fans alike, this period has been a testament to the joy and bonhomie that the film fraternity thrives upon. As Kapoor blows out his candles this year, his cup of good fortune overflows, surrounded by the warmth of his colleagues, friends, and admirers. Indeed, it’s a birthday marked by love, aspirations, and an undeniably bright future.
