Kriti Sanon Urges Kajol To Keep Spreading Her ‘Infectious Laughter' On Birthday

Taking to her social media handle, Kriti Sanon extended her birthday wishes for Kajol by sharing a sweet photo of the two taken during the shoot of Do Patti. Kajol turned a year older on August 5, and wishes poured in from fans and fellow stars. Among them was Kriti Sanon, who shared screen with the talented actress in Do Patti. Taking to her social media handle, Kriti extended her birthday wishes by sharing a sweet photo of the two taken during the shoot of their last film. Both actresses looked stylish in the candid moment. Along with the picture, Kriti wrote a sweet message, as she wished for Kajol's 'happiness, love and sunshine." She also praised the actress' energy and her laugh, which always brings smiles on everyone's face. In the photo shared by Kriti on her Instagram story, both she and Kajol are seen flashing their brightest smiles. The candid moment was captured between takes on the set of their Netflix film, which gave fans a sweet behind the scenes glimpse of their bond. She wrote, 'Happiest Birthday Kajol ma'am. Wishing you happiness, love and sunshine! Keep spreading your magic and your infectious laughter." In an earlier interview with The Hindu, Kajol praised Kriti Sanon, saying, 'Kriti has come far since Dilwale. There has been a wonderful growth spurt in her filmography. It was amazing to witness her transform from one character to the other in this film." In Do Patti, Kajol plays the role of a determined woman trying to catch a killer. The film, directed by first time filmmaker Shashanka Chaturvedi, follows an attempted murder that takes place after a messy love triangle.

Before that, she appeared in Maa, a horror drama directed by Vishal Furia, also featuring Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta and Kherin Sharma. Kajol recently completed 33 years in the film industry.

Dhanush once dreamt of being a chef; loved cooking for his dad as a child

Long before he cemented his legacy in Indian cinema, Dhanush had a different dream—becoming a chef. In a throwback interview from 2015, the actor revealed that if he hadn't pursued acting, he would've chosen the culinary world. 'Chef for sure. I love to cook,' he had shared. As a child, he often experimented in the kitchen, creating simple dishes like omelettes and fried rice for his father, eagerly awaiting his approval. His joy was complete when his father appreciated his efforts. Kitchen was his first stage It wasn't just about the food—it was the entire process that captivated young Dhanush. 'Mixing ingredients, creating an aroma, chopping vegetables—everything about cooking entices me,' he said in an interview with The Hindu. Dhanush credited his mother for instilling his passion, calling her a 'wonderful cook,' and jokingly adding that her skills made him 'a wonderful eater.' His love for cooking stemmed from the same place as his acting—a genuine appreciation for craft and creativity. It's a lesser-known side of the actor that only adds to his grounded, relatable charm. Romance rumours heat up with Mrunal Thakur While the old interview brings back memories of a simpler time, Dhanush is now grabbing headlines for a more personal reason—his rumoured relationship with actress Mrunal Thakur. According to a source quoted by News18 Showsha, the two are indeed dating, although they are in no rush to make things public. 'They're quite similar and compatible,' the source noted, adding that their bond formed after the success of Sita Ramam, which helped Mrunal find a firm footing in the South industry. The couple is reportedly unfazed about being seen together in public, and their friends are said to be rooting for them. Meanwhile on the work front, Dhanush was last seen in 'Kuberaa'.
